I am getting

Answer 1

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
implementation 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.4'
implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.0'

Run this to view app dependencies

gradlew -q :app:dependencies > dependencies.txt

It will output a big tree, where:

• (*) is used to indicate that particular dependency is described somewhere else in the tree
• -> (arrow) is used to point the dependency that wins in version conflict. By default, gradle chooses the newest version.

Output:

+--- com.android.support:design:26.1.0
|    +--- com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0 -> 27.1.1 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.1.0 (*)
|    \--- com.android.support:transition:26.1.0
|         +--- com.android.support:support-annotations:26.1.0 -> 27.1.1
|         \--- com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0 (*)

In my case I found that com.android.support:design:26.1.0 was depending on com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0 -> 27.1.1 (*), which resolved to 27.1.1 instead of 26.1.0

Solution Force version 26.1.0 by declaring in gradle compile ("com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0") { force = true }

Aside of using Project view -> External Libraries, I use gradle command to output the dependencies into a txt file for searching. Use ./gradlew On Mac and gradlew.bat on Window.

$ ./gradlew -q :app:dependencies > dependencies.txt

In dependencies.txt, use "Find" and type "design", for example, and look at all highlighted libraries and their version number. From some SO posts, they suggest to exclude duplicated dependencies. If a dependency is included by another one (for example, com.android.support:cardview-v7 is included by com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth), we can omit that dependency from the app/build.gradle.

I fixed my project by removing these dependencies from my gradle:

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:27.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.0'

I keep this one (and upgrade from 27.0.2 to 27.1.0):

implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.0'

Add exclude to following dependencies:

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.1.2', {
    exclude group: 'android.arch.lifecycle', module: 'extensions'
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'design'
}
implementation 'com.romandanylyk:pageindicatorview:1.0.0', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-core-ui'
}

I got into the lifecycle issue after add/remove dependencies. Another SO post suggest that two different version of library was included. So, I updated the output file in step 1 and check:

+--- 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
|    +--- 'android.arch.lifecycle:runtime:1.1.0' 

+--- 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.1.2'
|    +--- 'android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.0.0'

By excluding android.arch.lifecycle:extensions that solve the compile problem.

I just did it like. It's working now

Solution 1

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.0'
