Is there a non-painful way to migrate to AndroidX? I’m not sure wheteher Android Studio’s

Migrate to AndroidX

is broken in general or just in my project

That option is the

non-painful

way to do that 😄

Yes, if it worked! The documentation is quite sparse and I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

It’s quite a long list of things to do

I recall this was useful for me https://gist.github.com/dlew/5db1b780896bbc6f542e7c00a11db6a0

not sure if I’ve ever seen it written out anywhere

Last time I just hit the

Android Studio

button and was done 🙂

When I migrated my app to AndroidX, I used the

migrate to AndroidX

button and had some errors - I went one by one and updated packages manually and it worked

Better update to support lib version 28 first, then use the migrate to androix

i found this helpfu in the past https://blog.danlew.net/2018/11/14/the-reality-of-migrating-to-androidx/

The tool normally....works well. I have done it on 3 different projects. One, had 5 modules. 👍

You can't do it in a completely painless way. We've got a project with more than 100 modules. 1) Make sure your gradle and IDE are in sync 2) Clean and rebuild the project 3) Run the migration tool The problem usually is that you might have some third-part libraries that uses the old support libraries, so you might want to enable jetifier in your

gradle.properties

android.enableJetifier=true

One small thing I want to add here is like , You are using any image which is starting with

, this should not work , you have to use
