Android-image-cropper: 2.8.0 requires project to use androidx

[matthewkrueger]

There is a bug/crash in version 2.7.0 that's affecting the production version of our app. I read that this bug was fixed in 2.8.0.

I have tried to update to the 2.8.0 version of Android-Image-Cropper, but it appears you switched to androidx, which would require my entire project to be upgraded to androidx. I cannot do that at this time, but the crash in the 2.7.0 image cropper code is causing big issues in production.

There is nothing in your documentation about requiring androidx to use this library. That's the first step - please update your docs as this took quite a while to narrow down.

Secondly, how can I get this library to work alongside other non-androidx projects?

+1 here

I love this library and all the work you've done on it, but forcing established apps to upgrade to androidx may not be the right call, especially since 2.8.0 included a critical bug fix that is NEEDED for Android Pie users to use the library without crashing. If there's a way to make it co-exist with the old support library, I think that would be a much better option. I can't imagine that most app developers can upgrade big apps to androidx yet.

Over the last week in production, we've had over 150 users experience a crash with the image cropper. If there is no easy solution, I'm going to have to fork this library, or switch to a different library. Thanks for your time to read and consider this.

i share your opinion @matthewkrueger. i was working on a project and had to pause because i traveled for some work. i tried continuing my project this morning and i'm still stuck with android manifest errors. upgrading my entire project to androidx will be difficult for now.

Hi, anyone with a workaround, just in case?

[MBEDOBE]

you can use the previous version though it's not as the latest version.

No, it's crashing on android pie, it's blocking.

[MBEDOBE]

add this
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}

[MBEDOBE]

gradle synced successfully but using it in the app throws a build error:
package com.thartofdev.edmodo.cropper does not exist.
I think the problem lies in the import statement.

if only could not download ,add "google()" in your project build.gradle file.
if exifinterface the version conflicts.
use: implementation ( 'com.github.svran:Android-Image-Cropper:2.8.0.4' ) { exclude group: 'com.android.support' ,module: 'exifinterface'}
And use the exifinterface version of your project.
implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:your_project_support-libary_version'

Adding
implementation com.github.svran:Android-Image-Cropper:2.8.0.4 solved the problem for me, thanks @svran

Problem solved without migrating to AndroidX! Thanks @svran
