you are using Google version 3.1.0 so you have to use the latest version of the firebase. — Farhana Naaz Ansari, Jan 30 '18 at 08:33
Yeah i am using the latest version of firebase can you tell me where should i change my version number on above code and which version should i enter? — Hash, Jan 30 '18 at 08:38
firebase-admin:5.8.0 is the latest version https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/admin/java — Hash, Jan 30 '18 at 08:46
i did not even compiled my app i just added sdk and while syncing gradle files i got this problem, thanks — Hash, Jan 30 '18 at 08:53
this Gradel is for Java not android, admin version is not for android. I check it on https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup — Farhana Naaz Ansari, Jan 30 '18 at 09:00

You can't use firebase-admin-sdk with:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:5.8.0'

in Android. Because it is for your Server not for your Android client.

Please read more at Add the Firebase Admin SDK to Your Server

From the documentation:

Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

If using the Admin Node.js SDK, a server running Node.js 4.0+

If using the Admin Java SDK, a server running Java 7+

If using the Admin Python SDK, a server running Python 2.7+ or 3.x

A server app

is there any other solution? how can i do this with android client then? – Hash Jan 30 '18 at 09:01
You need to setup the server for using it then create your custom api to communicate with your server. – ישו אוהב אותך Jan 30 '18 at 09:07
