What replaced appcompat-v7 in AndroidX

Question

After migrating a couple of my older projects over to AndroidX it as though three of my dependencies are deprecated:

   implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
   implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
   implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'

I haven't been able to find a replacement for these dependencies.

Does AndroidX have an equivalent for these dependencies?

Answer 1

Use in the order:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'   
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'

If you would like to use alpha/beta releases:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-rc01'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09'

More info about the releases:

• AndroidX Releases
• Material Components library

Answer 2

Yes, AndroidX has new Dependencies.

Use below implementation in your project

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'

Instead of

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'

and for more refer below link :-

• https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate/artifact-mappings

and make sure before migrating the project to androidX.

Steps to migrate Project (Very Easy)

1 : add gradle.properties file if doesn't exits. and add below line

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M

2 : goto refactor > Migrate to Android X

and do not change anything studio will automatically update all things

New Android Design Libraries with androidx:

AppCompat:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'

CardViex:

implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'

However be careful because everything is not start with androidx. For example, old design dependency is:

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

Material:

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

Recyclerview:

implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.0'
