Lifecycle annotations seem to have wrong annotation javaName

See original GitHub issue

Hello there,

It seems that the [Lifecycle.Event.OnStart], [Lifecycle.Event.OnStop] and other from the AndroidX.Lifecycle namespace have their java annotation counterparts set to the old libraries.

Found this while testing the migration in the Toggl app, we are using the old [Lifecycle.Event.OnStart], [Lifecycle.Event.OnStop] here: https://github.com/toggl/mobileapp/blob/d79af0ab5522a325046baf19b4616cb086b1bc71/Toggl.Droid/Startup/TogglApplication.cs#L83-L99

Test branch: https://github.com/toggl/mobileapp/tree/doivid/androidx-migration-test

After migrating, we get this error while building:

TogglApplication.java(34, 25):  error: package android.arch.lifecycle does not exist
@android.arch.lifecycle.OnLifecycleEvent(android.arch.lifecycle.Lifecycle.Event.ON_START)
TogglApplication.java(43, 25):  error: package android.arch.lifecycle does not exist
@android.arch.lifecycle.OnLifecycleEvent(android.arch.lifecycle.Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)

Checking the generated source code, I found this:
