Add androidx.core to build.gradle

Kyeiv

I am trying to:

import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;
import androidx.core.os.EnvironmentCompat;

but i get:

 error: package androidx.core.content does not exist
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;

error: package androidx.core.os does not exist
import androidx.core.os.EnvironmentCompat;

and my build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'

    }
}

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar'])
}

android {
    /*******************************************************
     * The following variables:
     * - androidBuildToolsVersion,
     * - androidCompileSdkVersion
     * - qt5AndroidDir - holds the path to qt android files
     *                   needed to build any Qt application
     *                   on Android.
     *
     * are defined in gradle.properties file. This file is
     * updated by QtCreator and androiddeployqt tools.
     * Changing them manually might break the compilation!
     *******************************************************/

    compileSdkVersion androidCompileSdkVersion.toInteger()

    buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = [qt5AndroidDir + '/src', 'src', 'java']
            aidl.srcDirs = [qt5AndroidDir + '/src', 'src', 'aidl']
            res.srcDirs = [qt5AndroidDir + '/res', 'res']
            resources.srcDirs = ['resources']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
            jniLibs.srcDirs = ['libs']
       }
    }

    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }

    // Do not compress Qt binary resources file
    aaptOptions {
        noCompress 'rcc'
    }
}

I was trying to edit it but all i got was a bunh of errors. How can i make those imports work?

Hello,

I have the same problems. Have you found a workaround ?

Thanks you for your answer.

to enable JetPack/AndroidX:
add android.useAndroidX=true to file gradle.properties

add dependency to required library (file build.gradle):
implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.7.0'
