I am trying to solve the problem,
I have some dependencies declared in build.gradle file for my android app, but the problem is that a lot of these dependencies use the same compat library, in my case appcompat-v7.
It is possible to exclude this library for each dependency
compile ('com.github......'){
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
But I need to do this in for each dependency
Another way is to use such expression
configurations {
compile.exclude module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
This works, but even If declare this library explicitly it is ignored compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
All what I need it is to include this library only once for the whole app, because if compile without exclude it will show a lot of errors like has been already defined.
Maybe there is an easier way to get this working. I would be grateful for any help, thanks.
