Hey, do you have plans to replace `android.arch.lifecycle` with `androidx.lifecycle` ?

Hey, do you have plans to replace android.arch.lifecycle with androidx.lifecycle ?

You just need to replace the Android dependencies with their koin_androidx_* counterparts.

Ahh, sorry I couldn't find it in the docs

Awesome, it worked, thank you very much

I have to check if there is a starter app with androidx 🤔

[tynn]

Would it be useful to deprecate the koin-android-* artifacts and not use it internally anymore?

[arnaud.giuliani]

good question, I don’t want to block people using Koin also

[arnaud.giuliani]

but several new addition will lead in that way

I was thinking about pushing a poll on twitter, to ask how much people are using androidx or not?

[arnaud.giuliani]

2.2.0 could be a version without the old android package clearly

[tynn]

In November the Play store starts to require a target of SDK level 29. The Android Support libraries dropped support with SDK level 28. I guess it’s save to assume that everyone should be using AndroidX by now. But a poll would be shed some light on it.

[arnaud.giuliani]

yes, you’re right

[arnaud.giuliani]

The poll will be a good “first signal” to push the androidx migration
