Problem updating Android Support Libraries from version 27.0.1 to 27.0.2
Kind of problem: after changing versions from 27.0.1 to 27.0.2 I will have problems with my CardView, as some of the CardView attributes were not found.
To "resolve" this in the easiest way: return to version 27.0.1
But I rather would like to resolve it in another way, to upgrade to version 27.0.2
So my questions are:
Why am I getting these errors and how can I resolve this?
Is this some kind of bug in Lint to advise updated support libraries while they are not yet available? This last question, because if I look at the SDK Tools (Android Studio 3.0), then I see that the most current version of the Android SDK Platform and PlatPlatform-Tools is 27.0.1.
Below are the details of my situation.
1. **Usage in XML layout file:**
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
card_view:cardBackgroundColor="?attr/myCardBackgroundColor"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
card_view:contentPadding="10dp">
2 .**build.gradle (Project zzz):**
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/'
}
}
}
3. **build.gradle (Module:app):**
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
signingConfigs {
config {
storeFile file('sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss')
keyAlias 'aaaaaaa'
keyPassword 'bbbbbbbb'
storePassword 'ccccccccc'
}
}
compileSdkVersion 27
defaultConfig {
applicationId "xxx.yyy.zzz"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 27
versionCode dd
versionName 'dd.ee.ff'
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
signingConfig signingConfigs.config
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
buildTypes {
release {
shrinkResources true
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
renderscriptDebuggable false
pseudoLocalesEnabled true
}
}
productFlavors {
}
}
dependencies {
testImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
implementation 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
implementation('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.7.1@aar') { transitive = true }
implementation 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.9.8'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
Everything is working OK and as expected.
NOW WHEN I UPGRADE 27.0.1 to 27.0.2:
4. **build.gradle (Module:app)**:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.0.2'
And synchronizing the project, I will get the following errors:
Error:error: attribute 'xxx.yyy.zzz:cardBackgroundColor' not found.
Error:error: attribute 'xxx.yyy.zzz:cardCornerRadius' not found.
Error:error: attribute 'xxx.yyy.zzz:contentPadding' not found.
And when I look in the Gradle console, I will find this:

A bit boring as Lint tells me that there is a newer version of the supporting library for CardView:
A newer version of com.android.support:cardview-v7 than 27.0.1 is available: 27.0.2
Now I have disabled this check as follows:
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.1'
Read this issue:
Failed to solve: com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.0.0 android
But that did not help me solve this problem.
And I read many other articles on the Internet, but they had nothing to do with my problem.
