Answer 1

i changed dependencies with the code:

dependencies {

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.2'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.6.1'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
}

Worked for me

Answer 2

Replace compile with implementation and you should be good.

(compile was recently deprecated and replaced by implementation or api)

Answer 3

You are adding these dependencies to build.gradle(Project)

compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1"
    compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1"
    compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.+"
    compile "com.android.support:support-annotations:${rootProject.supportAnnotationsVersion}"

    compile "com.navercorp.pulltorefresh:library:${rootProject.pullToRefreshVersion}@aar"
    compile("com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:${rootProject.crashlyticsVersion}@aar") {
        transitive = true;
    }
    compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1' 

Instead put dependencies in build.gradle(Module:app) and replace compile with implementation as 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'
