Flutter: Unable to Migrate to AndroidX

Question

I was trying to import my flutter app into Android Studio to migrate to Androidx, not sure if these are the correct steps:

1. FlutterProject > Open the Android module in Android Studio.
2. My Android version is 3.2.0+, able to do Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX

While trying to migrate to Androidx, I received an Unresolved Dependecies error stating that:

ERROR: Failed to resolve: androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:27.1.1

Show in Project Structure dialog

Affected Modules: app

I couldn't find out where is this androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:27.1.1 located. I've tried implementing the Androidx build artifact, not working at all.

Answer 1

I was able to migrate flutter project to support AndroidX without having to use Android studio.

Here's what I did..

1. updated compileSdkVersion in build.gradle file to 28
2. android.useAndroidX=true and android.enableJetifier=true in gradle.properties

Try this approach if all you want to do is migrate to AndroidX
