Is it possible to use Compose with a non androidx project. I mean, I'm contributing to a project (Koin to be specific) and I'd like to add a module running compose to add some feature to the whole project, but compose complains that my project is not androidx I should add:

Copy code

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

To the gradle.properties, but it would impact imports in the entire project 😞 I've tried to add a gradle.properties for the specific module, but it didn't work

It’s really time to migrate to androidx

But what is exact problem with koin? there are modules there which use androidx dependencies with no problems

adding to gradle.properties of the module should be enough

I also think that android.enableJetifier should be false by default, to force everyone to check that none of dependencies use android.support, which itself a big red flag

You should consider migrating the whole project to androidx. (In my experience most of the time it is done in 1 day) Maybe when it is very complex it takes more time.

But I don't want to submit 1k changes 😄 Just because my feature witch is one function

@gildor there are modules that uses androidx in Koin by declaring:

Copy code

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

on a local gradle.properties, I've tried to do the same with my module, but as compose complains about it, and it say that the whole project must be androidx

Look, there is a local gradle.properties for the module that uses androidx

I did the same for my module, but it complains

Copy code

This project uses AndroidX dependencies, but the 'android.useAndroidX' property is not enabled. Set this property to true in the gradle.properties file and retry.
