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:

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

[gildor]

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

[gildor]

adding to gradle.properties of the module should be enough

[itnoles]

old android.support.* is DEAD and Buried!!!

[gildor]

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:

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

[henrikhorbovyi]

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

[henrikhorbovyi]

I did the same for my module, but it complains

[henrikhorbovyi]

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.
