Failed to resolve: support-fragment error when add google architecture component dependency

Question

I want to use Google architecture components in my app, but after updating android studio to version 3.1.1 when I add android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1 depend

Answer 1

i add this line in build.gradle and fixed bug : implementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.5'

Answer 2

This just happened to me with a project I cloned from github.

I updated my SDK and buildtools and had to double check all the dependencies to match the buildToolsVersion and the compileSdkVersion from the project.

The error message wasn't very clear when I tried to sync the project, it only gave me a more explicit error when I tried to run and it failed.

Could not find support-fragment.jar (com.android.support:support-fragment:27.0.2).

Good Luck!

Answer 3

for a similar issue its solved by changing material implementation from alpha2 version to alpha 7 in the app build.gradle file

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha07'

Answer 4

I had a similar error and changing the repositories order so that google() comes before jcenter() fixed it.

I had to change the order for the repositories within buildscript and allprojects in the top level build.gradle file.

Please see this commit: https://github.com/kunadawa/ud851-Exercises/commit/9f6720ef4d52c71b206ddaa8477f2cf6e77a66f4

Answer 5

I also had to remove the maven url from the project build.gradle as in:

 buildscript {
        repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
          //  maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        }
    }

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
        }
    }

---

This now works for me.

Answer 6

add these two to build.gradle -> repositories

{
mavenCentral()
google() 
}

and add to these are to allprojects

allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
google()
}
}
