Migrating to Androidx Problem . multiple third-party libraries having "duplicate value for resource" issue

Question

I am having problem in migrating to androidx due to third-party libraries inclusion in my gradle file . To locate the issue I have:

• created a simple Project which included some of these libraries.

• compiled the project without issues

• migrated to androidx

• build failed with errors

Output :

Android resource compilation failed
Output:  /Development/Android/trunk_deleteme/projects/MyApplication2/app/build/intermediates/incremental/mergeDebugResources/merged.dir/values/values.xml:1550: error: duplicate value for resource 'attr/orientation' with config ''.

My Gradle file :

        jumboMode true
    }

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.a.myapplication"

    }
    buildTypes {

            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {

        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}


dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"

gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m
# When configured, Gradle will run in incubating parallel mode.
# This option should only be used with decoupled projects. More details, visit
# http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/multi_project_builds.html#sec:decoupled_projects
# org.gradle.parallel=true
# Kotlin code style for this project: "official" or "obsolete":

android.enableJetifier=true

I know that these issues can be fixed from the third-party library owners but some of them will not provide new builds soon.

Question is :

is there away to fix these issue from my end instead of waiting for the third-party library owners to update their code ?

Answer 1

Change

implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-alpha3'

to

-alpha2

Clead & rebuild :)

Answer 2

Did You tried after migration ?

- Clean and Build or gradle clean build assemble
- Invalidate and restart Android Studio
