Appcompat is not able to compile due to some version error

Question

below is my gradle file ANdroid studio is displaying this message

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 27.0.2, 26.1.0. Examples include com.android.support:support-compat:27.0.2 and com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:26.1.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.t.t"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
        implementation 'com.android.support:customtabs:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.5.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

ANd when i am running the app, app crashes on run time displaying the following error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method getFont(Landroid/content/Context;ILandroid/util/TypedValue;ILandroid/widget/TextView;)Landroid/graphics/Typeface; in class Landroid/support/v4/content/res/ResourcesCompat; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.support.v4.content.res.ResourcesCompat' appears in /data/app/com.example.tapesh.tapu_chat-2/base.apk)

actually I have removed the buildtoolsversion, as I had updated my android studio to 3.0.1 , so there is no requirement as android studio suggested me — Tapesh Gupta, Jan 20 '18 at 14:45

I believe you are using build tool version 26.0.2 and you are using some support dependencies. Try this.

For example:

android {
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"

}

and

dependencies {

    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.0.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v13:26.0.2'

}

getFont() will work from Android 'O'(26.0.0-beta1) version

So update your build tool version to: "27.0.2"

Example: build.gradle

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.2"
targetSdkVersion 27

Updated Dependencies:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:27.0.2'

if you have multiple buld.gradle...make sure to update version in all of them...and clean build the project – rafsanahmad007 Jan 20 '18 at 15:56
