解决 Android 中出现依赖多个版本支持库的问题

在 app 的 build.gradle 中引入依赖时发现如下错误：

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 27.1.1, 26.1.0. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:27.1.1 and com.android.support:support-media-compat:26.1.0 less... (⌘F1) 
There are some combinations of libraries, or tools and libraries, that are incompatible, or can lead to bugs. One such incompatibility is compiling with a version of the Android support libraries that is not the latest version (or in particular, a version lower than your targetSdkVersion).

简单的说就是引入了两种版本的 Android Support Library，这种情形该如何处理呢？

1. 统一管理支持包的版本号；
2. 剔除第三方库中包含的支持包，并引入版本一致的支持包。

具体如下：

ext.versions = [
  play_services: '15.0.1',
  // 统一管理支持包的版本号
  suport_library: '27.1.1',
]

dependencies {
  implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:${versions.play_services}") {
    // 剔除 play service 中包含的 v4 支持包
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
  }
  // 引入版本一致的 v4 支持包
  implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:${versions.suport_library}"
  implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${versions.suport_library}"
  implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${versions.suport_library}"
  implementation "com.android.support:cardview-v7:${versions.suport_library}"
  implementation "com.android.support:support-annotations:${versions.suport_library}"
}

通常在我们引入了众多依赖的情况下，我们并不知道引入哪个依赖重复引入了支持库，有没有工具可以帮我们分析呢？

答案是肯定的，gradle 命令中有一条可以做到这点，那就是 gradle dependencies ，它可以将依赖和依赖的依赖罗列出来。也可以通过 Android Studio 右侧工具栏的 Gradle --> help--> dependencies 启动依赖分析。以上面的依赖为例，执行结果如下：
