We’re transitioning from github issues to a public buganizer component. Rather than submitting a bug here on github, please file any bugs or feature requests at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=439535.

I bought a new macbook pro i have installed all the latest stuff from android studio in my laptop from the stable channel

i am not able to successfully build my project gradle when i add implementation ‘com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01’

gradle `apply plugin: ‘com.android.application’

android { compileSdkVersion 28 defaultConfig { applicationId “com.silverpants.todolist” minSdkVersion 21 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName “1.0” testInstrumentationRunner “android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner” } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile(‘proguard-android.txt’), ‘proguard-rules.pro’ } } }

dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: ‘libs’, include: [‘*.jar’]) implementation ‘com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc02’ implementation ‘com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01’ implementation ‘com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2’ testImplementation ‘junit:junit:4.12’ androidTestImplementation ‘com.android.support.test🏃1.0.2’ androidTestImplementation ‘com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2’ } ` errror it shows is

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0-rc01] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91 is also present at [androidx.core:core:1.0.0-rc01] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory). Suggestion: add ‘tools:replace=“android:appComponentFactory”’ to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-19:19 to override.

and when i take its suggestion an error appears like this code `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" package="com.silverpants.todolist">

    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"

    >
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>`

I had similar problem. Added two lines in gradle.properties file:

android.useAndroidX=true android.enableJetifier=true

These two lines automatically resolved my dependency conflicts between google’s files and third party dependencies.

I got a similar problem when using a new library, I fixed the problem by migrating the project to androidx

The new android studio does the migration smoothly just click on Refactor–>migrate to androidx–>It will ask you to back up–>then do refactor.
