Answer 1

I tried every other solution, but no one worked for me. At the end, i solved it by using same dependency version by editing build.gradle. I think this problem occurres when adding a library into gradle which uses different dependency version of support or google libraries.

Add following code to your build gradle file. Then clean and rebuild project.

ps: that was old solution for me so you should use updated version of following libraries.

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
    def requested = details.requested
    if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
        if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
            details.useVersion '26.1.0'
        }
    } else if (requested.group == "com.google.android.gms") {
        details.useVersion '11.8.0'
        } else if (requested.group == "com.google.firebase") {
            details.useVersion '11.8.0'
          }
      }
}
