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'
    })
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.1'

Answer 1

Had the same issue after updating to Android Studio 2.3, the fix was to add the following package in the build.gradle:

compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:25.3.1'

Note: Change the version to match other support library packages used in your project

Answer 2

My problem is similar to yours. Here exist an error!

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.0'

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 25.3.0, 24.0.0. Examples include 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.3.0' and 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:24.0.0'

Seeing this Examples include 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.3.0' and 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:24.0.0'

the just add these codes in dependencies, make sure that versions are same.

compile 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:25.3.0'

Here is my flow to fix this warning

build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion ... // must same version (ex: 26)
    ...
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'any com.android.support... library'  // must same version (ex: 26.0.1)
    compile 'any com.android.support... library'  // must same version (ex: 26.0.1)

    ...
    compile ('a library B which don't use 'com.android.support...' OR use SAME version of 'com.android.support'){
         // do nothing 
    }

    ...
    compile ('a library C which use DIFFERENT 'com.android.support...' (ex:27.0.1) { 
        // By default, if use don't do anything here your app will choose the higher com.android.support... for whole project (in this case it is 27.0.1)

        // If you want to use 26.0.1 use
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: '...' (ex module: 'appcompat-v7') 
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'another module'
        ...

        // If you want to use 27.0.1 do 
        Upgrade `compileSdkVersion` and all 'com.android.support' to 27.0.1.
        (It may be a good solution because the best practice is always use latest `compileSdkVersion`.  
        However, use 26 or 27 is base on you for example higher library may have bug)
    }
}

To view/verify the dependencies of all library in your app
Open terminal and run ./gradlew app:dependencies

To view the dependencies of a specific library in your app follow tutorial here :- How to exclude dependencies of a particular dependency in Gradle

Hope it help

Answer 4

I had to add the following lines in gradle to remove the error

compile 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:preference-v7:25.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:25.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.2.0'

Answer 5

Make sure all Facebook SDK dependencies use the same support library version of your project:

dependencies {
    // Facebook SDK dependencies, excluding Bolts
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.4.0"
    compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.4.0"
    compile "com.android.support:customtabs:25.4.0"
    compile "com.android.support:design:25.4.0"

    compile "com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.23.0"
}

A) Run gradle dependencies or ./gradlew dependencies

B) Look at your tree and figure out which of your dependencies is specifying a different support library version for a dependency you don't control.

I didn't realize that this warning also displays if the dependency is completely unused directly by your own code. In my case, Facebook specifies some support libs I wasn't using, you can see below most of those dependencies were overridden by my own specification of 25.2.0, denoted by the -> X.X.X (*) symbols. The card view and custom tabs libs weren't overridden by anyone, so I need to ask for 25.2.0 for those ones myself even though I don't use them.

+--- com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.17.0
|    +--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.0 -> 25.2.0 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0 -> 25.2.0 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.0.0
|    |    \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:25.0.0 -> 25.2.0
|    +--- com.android.support:customtabs:25.0.0
|    |    +--- com.android.support:support-compat:25.0.0 -> 25.2.0 (*)
|    |    \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:25.0.0 -> 25.2.0
|    \--- com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.4.0 (*)

If gradle has already warned you and given you examples...

Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.1.1 and com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:24.0.0

... it's even easier if you throw in some grep highlighting for the lower version since gradle dependencies can be quite verbose:

./gradlew dependencies | grep --color -E 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7|$'
