3rd party dependencies issues

[peter-budo]

I was trying to got tools up to date and got blocked by

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 25.4.0, 25.3.1. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.4.0 and com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:24.3.1

After examining dependencies gradle -q dependencies app:dependencies --configuration compile found that

+--- com.afollestad.material-dialogs:core:0.9.4.3
|    +--- com.android.support:support-v13:25.3.1
|    |    +--- com.android.support:support-annotations:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0
|    |    \--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0 (*)
|    +--- com.android.support:support-annotations:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0
|    \--- me.zhanghai.android.materialprogressbar:library:1.4.0
|         +--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0 (*)
|         \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0

and

+--- com.simplecityapps:recyclerview-fastscroll:1.0.16
|    \--- com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1 -> 25.4.0 (*)

are depended on support library 25.3.1 therefore blocking update to higher version

@peter-budo: Does this mean that it's "OK" at the moment, just that one can't really update the dependencies if they happen to use !25.3.1? 🤔

[peter-budo]

You have to ask yourself if these libraries are that useful as to stick with them or you can actually do that extra leg work and have it done in your code and be free of unnecessary dependencies.

Would a third alternative be to help them update their own dependencies? 😊

Not a solution if owner is not doing further development on it and it is only you pushing for change on depended libraries. I would prefer own code, this is not 2012 and need for ActionBarSherlock 😉
