I am working on an existing project. I want to convert my android project(oreo) from the support library to androidX library. I have tried many tricks and tips but no progress at all.

What is the easiest approach to do that?

Answer 1

Try this

With Android Studio 3.2 and higher, you can quickly migrate an existing project to use AndroidX by selecting Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX from the menu bar.

If you have any Maven dependencies that have not been migrated to the AndroidX namespace, the Android Studio build system also migrates those dependencies for you when you set the following two flags to true in your gradle.properties file:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

For Reference
