Android Material and appcompat Manifest merger failed
AndroidAndroid Gradle-Pluginbuild.gradleGradle PluginAndroid Problem Overview
I have next grade
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc01'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01'
}
But when I want to build app I get next log:
Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0-alpha3] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91
is also present at [androidx.core:core:1.0.0-alpha3] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-19:19 to override.
Okey! Go to manifest and do it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="ru.chopcode.myapplication">
<application
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</application>
</manifest>
Then I get this error in my Logcat:
Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs that I have Linked with it

Solution 1 - Android
I had similar problem. Added two lines in gradle.properties
file:
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
These two lines automatically resolved my dependency conflicts between google's files and third party dependencies. Here's the link to follow: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/androidx-overview#new-project
Solution 2 - Android
I faced same error when i try to add Kotlin-KTX library to my project.
I try to AndroidX migration, and problem fixed!
Solution 3 - Android
Reason of Fail
You are using material library which is part of AndroidX. If you are not aware of AndroidX, please go through this answer.
> One app should use either AndroidX or old Android Support libraries. > That's why you faced this issue.
For example -
In your gradle, you are using
com.android.support:appcompat-v7
(Part of old --Android Support Library--)com.google.android.material:material
(Part of AndroidX) (AndroidX build artifact ofcom.android.support:design
)
Solution
So the solution is to use either AndroidX or old Support Library. I recommend to use AndroidX, because Android will not update support libraries after version 28.0.0. See release notes of Support Library.
Just migrate to AndroidX.Here is my detailed answer to migrate to AndroidX. I am putting here the needful steps from that answer.
Before you migrate, it is strongly recommended to backup your project.
>### Existing project
- Android Studio > Refactor Menu > Migrate to AndroidX...
- It will analysis and will open Refractor window in bottom. Accept changes to be done.
>### New project
Put these flags in your gradle.properties
android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true
Check @Library mappings for equal AndroidX package.
Check @Official page of Migrate to AndroidX
What is Jetifier?
Solution 4 - Android
In my case, this is working perfectly.. I have added below two line codes inside manifest file
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="whateverString"
Credit goes to this answer.
Solution 5 - Android
Simple Solutions - migrate into AndroidX
in the gradle.properties
, just add below two scripts
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
What was the reason ↓
> All packages in AndroidX live in a consistent namespace starting with the string androidx. The Support Library packages have been mapped into the corresponding androidx.* packages. For a full mapping of all the old classes and build artifacts to the new ones, see the Package Refactoring page.
Please see the Package Refactoring page
Solution 6 - Android
Just change "rc01" in first and last line inside dependencies to "alpha1" This is working for me
Solution 7 - Android
Just remove the android.support dependancy
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc01'
Quoting From Material Guidelines
>If you don’t want to switch over to the new androidx and com.google.android.material packages yet, you can use Material Components via the com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha3 dependency. > >### Note: You should not use the com.android.support and com.google.android.dependencies in your app at the same time.
Just removing this dependency works fine
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc01'
Here is complete dependencies example
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-beta01'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}
Solution 8 - Android
As of Android P, the support libraries have been moved to AndroidX
Please do a refactor for your libs from this page.
https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/refactor
Solution 9 - Android
See This Image and Add This line in your android AndroidManifest.xml
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="whateverString"
Solution 10 - Android
Add these lines inside
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="whateverString"
Solution 11 - Android
-
Please go to Refactor->Migrate->Migrate to Android X.
-
Please add this to your
gradle.properties
file:android.enableJetifier=true android.useAndroidX=true
And perform Sync.
Solution 12 - Android
just add these two lines of code to your Manifest file
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="whateverString"
Solution 13 - Android
Migrate to androidX
if it an existing project. If it is new project add these two flags to Gradle.propeties
android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true
for more detail steps https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx or check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51280090/what-is-androidx
Solution 14 - Android
Follow these steps:
- Goto Refactor and Click Migrate to AndroidX
- Click Do Refactor
Solution 15 - Android
Only If you don't want to use androidx
So in my case, I am using a library that was using androidx but I am not using androidx so when I downgraded that library version the problem was resolved.
In my Case:
implementation 'com.github.turing-tech:MaterialScrollBar:13.+'
the above-mentioned library makes problem 13.+ will automatically get a new version of the library which using androidx. So I downgraded library version to:
implementation 'com.github.turing-tech:MaterialScrollBar:13.2.5'
And the problem was resolved.
Solution 16 - Android
This issue mainly happened for old dependencies.
There have 2 solution:
First one:
Update all old dependencies
and ClassPaths from Project level gradle
files.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
Second one:
Your project Migrate to AndroidX
From Android Studio Menu -> Refanctor -> Migrate to AndroidX
Thanks, let me know if anyone help from this answer.
Solution 17 - Android
Finally found a quick and easy solution by adding two lines in the android/build.gradle
file.
googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.+"
firebaseVersion = "17.6.0"
Please follow this 100% correct.
Solution 18 - Android
Its all about the library versions compatibility
I was facing this strange bug couple of 2 hours. I resolved this error by doing these steps
hange your build.gradle dependencies into
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.0'
to
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.0'
Solution 19 - Android
All I did was go to the "Refactor" option on the top menu.
Then select "Migrate to AndroidX"
Accept to save the project as a zip file.
Please update Android Studio as well as Gradle to ensure no problems are encountered.
Solution 20 - Android
Create new project and compare your build.gradle files and replaced all
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.1'
and other dependencies with the same as were in a new project someting like that
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-alpha3'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.2'
implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.0.0-alpha1'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0-alpha3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0-alpha3'
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.0.0-alpha3'
And then fixed imports to use androidx in kotlin files.
Solution 21 - Android
1.Added these codes to at the end of your app/build.gradle:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
// the above lib may be old dependencies version
}
2.Modified sdk and tools version to 28:
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'
targetSdkVersion 28
3.In your AndroidManifest.xml file, you should add two line:
<application
android:name=".YourApplication"
android:appComponentFactory="AnyStrings"
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
Or Simply
- Go to Refactor (Studio -> Menu -> Refactor)
- Click the Migrate to AndroidX. it's working
- it's working.
Solution 22 - Android
If you do not intend to migrate to AndroidX follow the below steps
- In terminal type gradlew app:dependencies
- After dependencies are shown in the window press Ctrl+f and type androidX
- You will find all the dependencies which are using androidx lib internally you may have to downgrade that or use alternative for that to ensure it is no longer using androidX libs internally.
Solution 23 - Android
First of all be sure to add this line in manifest tag
xmlns:tools="https://schemas.android.com/tools"
Then add tools replace your suggested one in Android studio
Solution 24 - Android
-
Go to Refactor (Image )
-
Click the Migrate to AndroidX. it's working
-
it's working.
Solution 25 - Android
Try this
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory"
Rebuild your project.
Solution 26 - Android
I had this same problem for three days.
It is like android wants us to either use Kotlin Or AndroidX, they are doing away with Android.
But this is how I solved it.
- I migrated my project to AndroidX. This does not bring in any errors related to this issue in question, It updates files respectively. No method, class or variable name needs to be changed in your application.
NB: You must be using the latest Libraries (build.grudle file) in the latest stable version of android studio 3.4.1
Solution 27 - Android
I don't know this is the proper answer or not but it worked for me
Increase Gridle Wrapper Property
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
and Build Gridle to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'
its showing error because of the version.
Solution 28 - Android
I had the same error when working with Groupie.
implementation 'com.xwray:groupie:2.3.0'
I solved it by changing version to implementation 'com.xwray:groupie:2.1.0'
Solution 29 - Android
In may case I didn't want to pass to androidX. And I have to check my last changes. I figure out that the new component was --> lottie 2.8.0
So I downgrade it to: implementation 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:2.7.0'
Solution 30 - Android
Change proguardFile in build.gradle (Module: app) to the following
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
instead of
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
This worked for me
Solution 31 - Android
For solving this issue i would recommend to define explicitly the version for the ext variables
at the android/build.gradle
at your root project
ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.1.0" // default: "+"
firebaseVersion = "15.0.2" // default: "+"
// Other settings
compileSdkVersion = <Your compile SDK version> // default: 23
buildToolsVersion = "<Your build tools version>" // default: "23.0.1"
targetSdkVersion = <Your target SDK version> // default: 23
supportLibVersion = "<Your support lib version>" // default: 23.1.1
}

Solution 32 - Android
I'm also facing the same issue, for your android studio, you just change the android Gradle plugin version 3.3.2 and Gradle version is 5.1.1
Solution 33 - Android
in my case i am add in manifest file `
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="whateverString"
application tag of course, It will work
Solution 34 - Android
if you are using capacitor, upgrade to capacitor/core 2.0.1 or up in your package.json
Solution 35 - Android
change your build.gradle dependencies into
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3'
or
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha1'
