How to ensure all firebase SDKs are the compatible version? - android

Currently we have a lot of firebase version.
firebase_core_version = '16.0.6'
firebase_perf_version = '16.2.2'
firebase_messaging_version = '17.3.4'
...
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:$firebase_core_version"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:$firebase_perf_version"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:$firebase_messaging_version"
...
But they each have different version number and sometimes they are conflicting or resolved to unexpected versions by transitive includes. Or other module declares different version for same library... That steals my time.
Is there any solutions for this?

Gradle has "BoM" feature that is available from 5.0. and it enables you free from version hell.
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:20.0.1')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config'
You may notice that only new import firebase-bom has version and any other libraries don't have version.
This is because BoM dependency contains all firebase version inside it (of course they are compatible!).
So your module always import firebase-bom then version conflict will be gone.
firebase-bom is currently experimental but it works for me.

I hope androidx (jetpack) also have this!
There is also okhttp-bom available.

What exactly is runtimeOnly on androidx.appcompat:appcompat

I'm working with old version of appcompat, but error after migrate to androidX.
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
Should i use implementation instead of runtimeOnly ?
After androidx migration your dependency would have been changed to following:
implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.5.1"
If above is already present in your build.gradle then you can safe remove appcompat-v7 dependency.
As far as using implementation or runtimeOnly it totally depends upon dependency usage. If its usage in compile time then use implementation or if this just require in runtime use runtimeOnly.
To get your answer please refer to the link: Dependency configurations
According to the description mentioned in above link:

Support library dependencies in Android Q

In order to test my app for Android Q, I've installed Android Studio 3.5 (canary) and updated my build configuration as described here:
https://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk
But what do I do with the support library dependencies? The ones below are all red because:
This support library should not use a different version (28) than the compileSdkVersion (29)
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12') {
transitive = true;
}
Do I just leave them as is until Google releases the new support library? I'm getting a build error but I'm not sure if it's related to this or not.
Support libraries will not be updated past 28. You need to migrate to androidx.
See support library documentation where it says:
Note: With the release of Android 9.0 (API level 28) there is a new version of the support library called AndroidX which is part of Jetpack. The AndroidX library contains the existing support library and also includes the latest Jetpack components.
You can continue to use the support library. Historical artifacts (those versioned 27 and earlier, and packaged as android.support.*) will remain available on Google Maven. However, all new library development will occur in the AndroidX library.

Build library Github with Jitpack include dependencies

I'm building a library with jitpack.io I was able to build and compile into the application successfully, but the problem here is that in the library there includes a number of other libraries compiled into
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.99.1'
implementation 'com.appnext.sdk:banners:2.4.2.472'
implementation 'com.appnext.sdk:ads:2.4.2.472'
implementation 'com.appnext.sdk:native-ads2:2.4.2.472'
implementation 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.11.3'
so when I compiled the library into my application and called it, it reportedly did not find the class I was including into libraries(org.jsoup., com.appnext., ..). If I want to use I have to re-declare the libraries on again in my application. Is there a way to not do this, as includes the library inside
I was facing the same issue and apparently it's a bug in maven gradle plugin v1.5; problem solved after my plugin version is updated to 2.1.

Cannot resolve symbol 'MediaSessionCompat'

I cannot import MediaSessionCompat.
The import statement for importing the whole android.support.v4.media library does not show up in the Android Studio "IntelliSense" and it cannot resolve the symbol for anything inside it.
Do I have to make some kind of extra configuration to get this import, like in app build.gradle?
Add these to your dependencies and sync Gradle:
Pre-AndroidX
implementation 'com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-media-compat:28.0.0'
Post-AndroidX
implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.8.0'
implementation 'androidx.media:media:1.6.0'
Note from official documentation:
With the release of Android 9.0 (API level 28) there is a new version of the support library called AndroidX which is part of Jetpack. The AndroidX library contains the existing support library and also includes the latest Jetpack components.
You can continue to use the support library. Historical artifacts (those versioned 27 and earlier, and packaged as android.support.*) will remain available on Google Maven. However, all new library development will occur in the AndroidX library.
We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider migrating existing projects to AndroidX as well.
The latest dependencies are:
implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.media:media:1.1.0'
def core_version = "1.9.0"
// Java language implementation
implementation "androidx.core:core:$core_version"
// Kotlin
implementation "androidx.core:core-ktx:$core_version"
implementation "androidx.media:media:1.6.0"

Android Studio: Play Services libraries (GCM & Maps) unresolved (errors) but project is working correctly

I'm working on a project. I started with updating the libraries after not touching the project for around a year or so. Updated most of the libraries except implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.2.1' and implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.1' because there is an older version of a library supplying push for me, which I can't update right now. Anyways, after a while I opened some classes and noticed that for example SupportMapFragment is red and says "Unresolved reference". This happens with every class that comes out of the two libraries. However, the project still runs and still works as expected.
Why is this happening? And how can I fix it?
I will list some other libraries which could have an influence below:
$support_library_version = '27.1.0'
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$support_library_version"
implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:$support_library_version"
implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:$support_library_version"
implementation "com.android.support:design:$support_library_version"
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
implementation('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.1#aar') {
transitive = true;
}
They got updated from these versions:
$support_library_version = '24.1.1'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.0.2'
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
Crashlytics was not added in previous versions
I was experiencing a similar issue earlier today and used the instructions from this post to fix it:
File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
In addition, it appears that Gradle 3.1.0 doesn't work, but Gradle 2.3.0 does.
Apparently the version I had for GCM and maps was too low. I had to update to a higher version and the unresolved references disappeared. I'm using 11.8.0 right now.
