Question

Error when merging the dex

following are the dependencies.

ext {
    anko_version=\'0.10.5\'
    support_lib=\'1.0.0-alpha1\'
    room_lib = \"1.1.0\         


        

Answer 1

Migrate the dependencies to androidx dependencies. And in gradle.properties add the below lines (If not created already, create the file in root folder).

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Hope this helps.
