All com.android.support libraries must use the exa

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.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 25.1.1, 24.0.0. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.1.1 and com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:24.0.0

my gradle:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })

Answer 1

Highlight the error and press "ALT+ENTER", you'll see an option to:

Add Library dependency > Edit Intention settings

This will bring you to a menu where you'll see the specific problem support dependency that differs with support-compat. Create its dependency in gradle (com 'XXX') and set it's version to match that of support-compat. Sync gradle and you're done.

Answer 2

I had this:

dependencies {
   implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
   implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
   implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
   implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:12.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:12.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:12.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:12.0.1'
   implementation'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:[4,5)'
   implementation 'com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:3.1.1'
   implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.0.3'
   implementation 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'
   implementation project(':vehiclesapi')
   testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
   androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
   androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

and got this error:

The solutions was easy - the primary dependencies were all correct so the leaves however - any third party dependencies. Removed one by one until found the culprit, and turns out to be facebook! its using version 27.0.2 of the android support libraries. I tried to add the cardview version 27.1.1 but that didn't work eithern the solution was still simple enough.

dependencies {
   implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
   implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
   implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
   implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:12.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:12.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:12.0.1'
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:12.0.1'
   implementation('com.facebook.android:facebook-login:[4,5)'){
       // contains com.android.support:v7:27.0.2, included required com.android.support.*:27.1.1 modules
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'
   }
   implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1' // to replace facebook sdk's cardview-v7:27.0.2.
   implementation 'com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:3.1.1'
   implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.0.3'
   implementation 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'
   implementation project(':vehiclesapi')
   testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
   androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
   androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

Answer 3

I ran ./gradlew tasks --all and checked for dependencies that were a different version from the targeted version (25.3.1). You'll get something like this:

In this case, I was targeting 25.3.1, and had some dependencies targeting different versions when I ran this command. The trick is to identify the dependencies in this list that are targeting previous versions, and overriding that by importing the most recent version of the dependency in Gradle.

Answer 4

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 5

1. Go to project/.idea/libraries folder on your file system and see which libraries are different.
2. You will have to manually include these libraries with the same version in your build.gradle file.
3. Then, sync your project.

E.g.:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.2.0'

// Wrong library version found on 1st point
compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:25.2.0'

Answer 6

The best way to solve the problem is implement all 'com.android.support:...' suggested by android studio

(doesn't matter which support versions you are using -- 27.1.1, 28.0.0 etc..)

place the cursor to the error line eg:

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

android studio will suggest you which 'com.android.support:...' is different version than 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'

example

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 28.0.0, 27.1.0, 27.0.2. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0 and com.android.support:exifinterface:27.1.0

so add com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0 & com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0. now synch gradle file.

one by one try to implement all the suggested 'com.android.support:...' till there is no error in this line implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'

In my case, i added

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

implementation 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:customtabs:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-media-compat:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'

all this dependencies... it could be different for others.
