AndroidX Error: Both old and new data binding packages are available in dependencies

Question

I have already updated gradle.properties file adding:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

But i have this error:

e: [kapt] An exception occurred: android.databinding.tool.util.LoggedErrorException: failure, see logs for details.
AndroidX Error: Both old and new data binding packages are available in dependencies. Make sure you've setup jettifier  for any data binding dependencies and also set android.useAndroidx in your gradle.properties file.

Answer 1

Even if you enable the use of AndroidX

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

and databinding

android {
    ...
    ...
    dataBinding {
        enabled = true
    }

}

you will still have problems related to dependencies.

I suggest to you, refactoring and changing automatically all the necessary imports to Android X to avoid this kind of problems.

Select your project, go yo Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX
