Android conflict google play service version

Question

I implemented new module for an application, using a 3rd party library. In this library, they used com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.0.2 , and in the original application, they used com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.3.23 . So there was a conflict and I can't sync gradle at all. Is there anyway to fix this conflict ? update google play service of the original project is out of question, because the amount of work would be tremendous.

Answer 1

please reefer this ref: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

and add google play service in your gradle

From version 6.5, you can instead selectively compile Google Play service APIs into your app.

Answer 2

try to do something like this

compile ('com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.0') {
        exclude module: 'support-v4'
    }
