NativeScript Android: Command gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Question

I tried to run my NativeScript application via tns run android --log trace. After doing some stuff for quite a long time I get the following error:

%my_Path%\platforms\android\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-31 Error: Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(25.3.1) from [com.android.support:design:25.3.1] AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-31 is also present at [com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.0-alpha1] AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-38 value=(26.0.0-alpha1). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:25:5-27:34 to override.

See http://g.co/androidstudio/manifest-merger for more information about the manifest merger.

My setting:

JAVA_HOME environment variable is properly set

ANDROID_HOME is set to C:...\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk

tns doctor says:

On iOS that project works properly.

--------------- UPDATE -----------------

After adding the configurations.all dependency to my app.gradle file i get the following error:

I navigated into my platforms/android directory and ran gradlew clean and tried again. It did not change the outcome. I also tried other emulators.

Now I navigated again into platforms/android and ran gradlew build -s:

my app.gradle:

// Add your native dependencies here:

// Uncomment to add recyclerview-v7 dependency
//dependencies {
//  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
//}

android {  
  defaultConfig {  
    generatedDensities = []
    applicationId = %applicationID%
  }  
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
  dependencies {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            def requested = details.requested
            if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
                details.useVersion '26.0.+'
            }
        }
    }
  }
}

In my package.json I define the following:

  "nativescript": {
    "id": %NativeScriptID%,
    "tns-ios": {
      "version": "3.1.0"
    },
    "tns-android": {
      "version": "3.1.1"
    }
  }

The NativeScriptID is different from the applicationID in the app.gradle.

Edit: I am running on Windows 10

Answer 1

The reply by github user DickSmith in https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/issues/4677#issuecomment-321331910 seems to do the job with the new support 26 library conflicts.

dependencies {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            def requested = details.requested
            if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
                details.useVersion '26.0.+'
            }
        }
    }
}

Add that to your app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle or merge it with whatever you have in dependencies {...} already and you should be good.
