Android Question MaterialDialog. Use an unjetified library

[red30]

I have an old application that uses the MaterialDialog library. Now if I want to run it I get an error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/content/ContextCompat;

As I understand this is due to the fact that I am using an unjetified library "MaterialDialog". On the forum I found tips only to use B4XDialog instead of MaterialDialog. But for this solution I will need to rewrite most of the project ... I understand that this is wrong, but somehow I can start the project with the old library "MaterialDialog"?

I will never return to this project anymore and will not share it anywhere. I just want to make an apk-file that will work with the old "MaterialDialog"

Have you tried to jetify it? Make sure that it is located in the additional libraries folder and run Tools - Jetifier?

The only way to use the old library is with an old Android SDK.

Yes it works - Tools -> Jetifier. It was only necessary to run B4A as an administrator. Never used Jetifier before, where can I read more about Jetifier? It's just that I had many more libraries in the folder where the MaterialDialog library was. I hope I didn't break anything ...

This is only needed if the additional libraries are stored in a restricted folder.

It will not break anything.

where can I read more about Jetifier?

AndroidX SDK

Android Support Library was implemented and maintained in the last 8 years by Google. It includes a wide range of features and it hides many of the differences between the various Android versions. Android Support Library was replaced by AndroidX SDK. It is no longer maintained and new versions...
