Plugins do not support AndroidX

[shinayser]

I have a flutter project. Inside of its android folder I have a lot of android code, including background processing classes and some native UI. I updated this code to use the new androidX packages.

Now, some of the plugins stopped working. A example is the permission_handler plugin.

permissionhandler\PermissionHandlerPlugin.kt: (10, 31): Unresolved reference: ActivityCompat
permissionhandler\PermissionHandlerPlugin.kt: (11, 27): Unresolved reference: content
permissionhandler\PermissionHandlerPlugin.kt: (152, 37): Unresolved reference: ContextCompat
permissionhandler\PermissionHandlerPlugin.kt: (191, 20): Unresolved reference: ActivityCompat
permissionhandler\PermissionHandlerPlugin.kt: (235, 13): Unresolved reference: ActivityCompat`

I believe this is because the native Android part of my app is using the AndroidX packages, since those plugins are still using the old support library. In the current state, it is impossible to me to roll back to the support library.

Also, when I add the camera plugin I get the following error:

error: package android.support.annotation does not exist
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
                                 ^

Is this a intended behavior? Can someone give me a light?

Report: I could make my project compile with the camera plugin by editting its gradle code inside the .pub-cache/.../camera-0.2.4 folder. I converted it to androidx packages and now the project compiles.
But this is a awful workaround that will break everytime the camera plugin gets a new version...

Flutter needs to upgrade its packages to androidX as soon as it can, because the support 28.0.0 is the latest version of support libraries. Only androidx will receive new updates.

I also have this problem ，when i use flutter module for my android project，use flutter packages get，then flutter android source would be replace by default and it is use support library ，not the androidx library

related to #23586.

We're working on making it easier to update this stuff for the engine, but we'll have to think of plugins as well...

[japborst]

Any updates on supporting for AndroidX?

[dnfield]

This is done now for all first party plugins, but keep in mind this may be an issue for various third party plugins out there. If you find other issues with those, please open an issue in the appropriate repository for it.

I am still waiting to publish a few of the updated packages to pub. I'll reopen this and close it once it's published everywhere. /cc @kroikie

Following Error appears SUDDENLY with no code changes, after Flutter Packages Upgrade, I believe it's the new camera plugin bugs.

You need either limit the version of the camera dependency in pubspec.yaml or follow the instructions to migrate to AndroidX.

0.2.9+1 is the last version that does not depend on AndroidX (https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/camera#030) so

dependencies:
  camera: ^0.2.9

and running flutter packages get should fix it.
You might get similar errors for other plugins if you didn't apply such constraints.

[mklim]

The plugins have all been updated to AndroidX, so I'm going to close this as fixed.

The official guide for migrating apps and plugins to work with AndroidX is up on our website. Please feel empowered to file new issues if you're still running into crashes after following the guide, or if the guide is unclear.

Faced the same issue. In my case, it's because of the "Firebase_auth" package used in a target Android SDK 28. As per the official documentation, the right version is 0.7.0 and NOT THE LATEST VERSION.

You can refer to the all packages which have conflict here

how do i start projects with Android X support. the migrating instructions are not working

[SunLongbri]

I also have this problem ，when i use flutter module for my android project，use flutter packages get，then flutter android source would be replace by default and it is use support library ，not the androidx library

Did you solved this problem?

[robsondon]

same issues here, someone fix it?

[pkonx]

I found that starting projects in Android studio or migrating them to Android x in Android studio was the way to go
