Android studio 3.0 error, how can I get rid of it?

Question

I just update my android studio to 3.0 now, but when I try to build apk on my project, it's shows following error:

Project depends on com.google.android.support:wearable:2.0.0, so it must also depend (as a provided dependency) on com.google.android.wearable:wearable:2.0.0

My build.gradle is like that:

dependencies {

    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile project(':lpd')
    compile 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.0.0-alpha2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:9.4.0'
    compile files('libs/zxing_2.3.0.jar')
    compile(name: 'hwwearableservice-release', ext: 'aar')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:9.4.0'
}

Anything wrong with it?

Answer 1

As per the new gradle dependency instruction the compile has been deprecated so for libraries use api and use the latest stable lib version as 2.1.0

and since the version is a stable release so

api 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.1.0'

or it's better to use

implementation 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.1.0'

implementation

if an implementation dependency changes its API, Gradle recompiles only that dependency and the modules that directly depend on it. Most app and test modules should use this configuration.

api

When a module includes an api dependency, it's letting Gradle know that the module wants to transitively export that dependency to other modules, so that it's available to them at both runtime and compile time. This configuration behaves just like compile (which is now deprecated), and you should typically use this only in library modules. That's because, if an api dependency changes its external API, Gradle recompiles all modules that have access to that dependency at compile time
