Here are my gradle dependencies.

    implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2'
}

I have doubt on 'RxBinding design' dependency due to Coordinate layout duplicate class may be exist, so I think I need to exclude CoordinatorLayout$HierarchyChangeListener but from which dependency not sure.

So I need your help thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to add the following in your build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'
        force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2'
        force 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
    }
}

Its like forcing all other libraries to use the exact version that you are defining here. Please see the updated answer which has a link for understanding the resolution strategy. Glad to know I could help. Welcome. – Albuquerque

Thanks again Reaz, I will tell you for guiding me if I will stuck in this things. – Starlight

Sure thing. Please let me know. – Albuquerque
