Lottie-android: is it possible to use lottie with androidx support library ?

[mehhrad]

i use androidx support library and this is my app build.gradle:

`apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
applicationId "me.semycolon.infotorbat"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
buildToolsVersion '28.0.2'
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
// for using androidX commented
// implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'

//lottie  
implementation ('com.airbnb.android:lottie:2.6.0-beta19'){ exclude group: 'com.android.support' }

}
app crashes with this exeption: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView" on path: DexPathList...`

what's the solution to this ?

[gpeal]

Yes, I'll do an androidx migration soon.

[gpeal]

I'll release 2.6.0 without it and 3.0.0 with it

[hitesh-dhamshaniya]

Have you released 3.0.0 with an androidx support?

[anthony-reboul]

No they haven't. @gpeal would it be possible to release 3.0.0 beta versions at the same time as the 2.6.0 beta versions ?

[gpeal]

@Anthony-Reboul @mehhrad I've decided to make it 2.7.0 and 2.8.0.
I publushed 2.7.0 as the last non-androidx release.
I started this migration last night on the gpeal--28 branch but it isn't building yet.

[gpeal]

2.8.0 has been released with androidx.
