All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification

Question

After updating to android studio 2.3 I got this error message. I know it\'s just a hint as the app run normally but it\'s really strange.

All com.andr

Answer 1

I used these two to solve my problem after upgrading to android studio 2.3

compile 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:25.0.0'

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem after updating to Android Studio 2.3

Adding this line to dependencies solved my problem:

compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:25.2.0'

Answer 3

Use variables: Doing something like the following will make it easier for you to ensure that you use the same version with all libraries

dependencies {

    ext {
        support_library_version = '25.2.0'
        google_play_services_version = '10.2.0'
    }

    //#####################################################################
    //          Support Library
    //#####################################################################
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${support_library_version}"
    compile "com.android.support:palette-v7:${support_library_version}"
    compile "com.android.support:design:${support_library_version}"

    //#####################################################################
    //          Google Play Services
    //#####################################################################
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:${google_play_services_version}"
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:${google_play_services_version}"
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:${google_play_services_version}"

    //#####################################################################
    //          Firebase
    //#####################################################################
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:${google_play_services_version}"
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:${google_play_services_version}"
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:${google_play_services_version}"

More information on how Google suggests that you handle this versioning can be found in this article: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html#top-level

Answer 4

Another way to solve conflicts is just to force the correct version for all dependencies like this:

dependencies {
            configurations.all {
                resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
                    if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support' && details.requested.name == 'support-v4') {
                        details.useVersion "27.0.2"
                    }
                }
    ...
    }

Answer 5

add these in app level dependencies

implementation 'com.android.support:asynclayoutinflater:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-media-compat:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'

Here is my flow to fix this warning

build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion ... // must same version (ex: 26)
    ...
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'any com.android.support... library'  // must same version (ex: 26.0.1)
    compile 'any com.android.support... library'  // must same version (ex: 26.0.1)

    ...
    compile ('a library B which don't use 'com.android.support...' OR use SAME version of 'com.android.support'){
         // do nothing 
    }

    ...
    compile ('a library C which use DIFFERENT 'com.android.support...' (ex:27.0.1) { 
        // By default, if use don't do anything here your app will choose the higher com.android.support... for whole project (in this case it is 27.0.1)

        // If you want to use 26.0.1 use
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: '...' (ex module: 'appcompat-v7') 
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'another module'
        ...

        // If you want to use 27.0.1 do 
        Upgrade `compileSdkVersion` and all 'com.android.support' to 27.0.1.
        (It may be a good solution because the best practice is always use latest `compileSdkVersion`.  
        However, use 26 or 27 is base on you for example higher library may have bug)
    }
}

To view/verify the dependencies of all library in your app
Open terminal and run ./gradlew app:dependencies

To view the dependencies of a specific library in your app follow tutorial here :- How to exclude dependencies of a particular dependency in Gradle

Hope it help
