The given artifact contains a string literal with a package reference 'android.support.v4.content' that cannot be safely rewritten. for androidx

Question

I upgraded my android studio to 3.4 canary and now I cannot successfully build anymore due to the following error:

The given artifact contains          


        

Answer 1

My project doesn't use butterknife, but I had the same error "The given artifact contains a string literal with a package reference 'android.support.v4.widget' that cannot be safely rewritten. Libraries using reflection such as annotation processors need to be updated manually to add support for androidx " This what I did to solve it: Update your parceler version

gradle build file

Replace:

annotationProcessor 'org.parceler:parceler:1.1.6'
implementation 'org.parceler:parceler-api:1.1.6'

With:

  annotationProcessor 'org.parceler:parceler:1.1.13'
  implementation 'org.parceler:parceler-api:1.1.13'
