@afollestad Is there any possibility I can continue using library without AndroidX for now. Any workaround?

Your app needs to use AndroidX instead of the old Support library.

Would be helpful if that requirement was explicitly listed in the README

Eh, this merger issue isn't a problem with this library - more of a special case that Google has created. All apps should be upgraded to AndroidX and libs can't be held back by migration.

thanks - I was unaware that Google is dropping support for the support libs. LOL.
AndroidX going forwards
