Android Problem Overview


When I try to use ConstraintLayout in my layout content_main.xml, I get the following message:

> Using version 1.0.0-alpha5 of the constraint library, which is obsolete

I am currently using the following library dependency:

compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-alpha5'

How can I get the latest version number of constraint layout?

Solution 1 - Android

EDIT: Now that we are publishing ConstraintLayout directly on maven, you can check the maven directory:

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/support/constraint/group-index.xml


Look in the SDK Manager in Android Studio. If you check the "Show Package Details" in the SDK Tools section, you should see all the available verions of ConstraintLayout (under Support Repository -> ConstraintLayout for Android)enter image description here

Solution 2 - Android

Google finally released the official version 1.1.0 ConstraintLayout So you can now import the non-beta

compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'

Check here for more info http://tools.android.com/recent/constraintlayout10isnowavailable

Solution 3 - Android

ConstraintLayout is included on the new(ish) AndroidX releases page. Here's the direct link to see the latest versions of ConstraintLayout by track (alpha, beta, rc, stable):

To Directly Pull in ConstraintLayout

Check the Maven repository for latest versions. Use the entire version name (e.g. 2.0.0-beta2).

Add dependency to target module:

target_module/build.gradle

If using support packages:
android {
  ...
}

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation `com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:some-version-number`
}
If using androidx packages:
android {
  ...
}

dependencies {
 implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:some-version-number'
}

Exact Gradle lines for 2.0.0-alpha5 can be found in the official release announcement.
