Manifest merger failed

Describe the bug I received this bug when import the module from gradle.

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91
	is also present at [androidx.core:core:1.1.0-alpha04] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory).
	Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:14:5-45:19 to override.

It seems this module use AndroidX in developing. Does there is a way to use this module without AndroidX ?

I have read the similar issue #22.
But the solution is not suitable to me.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add jaiselrahman:FilePicker to project

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.jaiselrahman:FilePicker:1.2.2'
}

1. Try build code to phone

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Screenshots Here is the merged Manifest.

Great!

I found another way to solve the problem by using fork project. 😘 I fork the project and revert the commit 21c0bb975efb3adb955c40ff3f6e1128adc89596

then apply the new gradle dependencies with new jitpack path

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.j796160836:FilePicker:master_without_androidx-SNAPSHOT'
}

Details is in here. https://github.com/j796160836/FilePicker/tree/master_without_androidx

It works like a charm.
