Android Resources linking failed after adding the implementation line in to build.gradle

Question

I am kinda new to this Android Studio development. I am now facing a problem that implementing a payment gateway for my application. I am using Stripe as my payment gateway but I can't add the Stripe Library into the dependencies. This is how my build.gradle file look like.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 27
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.fyp.cas"
    minSdkVersion 23
    targetSdkVersion 27
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'

implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.+'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.+'
implementation 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.cepheuen.elegant-number-button:lib:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'

implementation 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.6.0'
implementation 'com.stripe:stripe-android:8.3.0'

}

This is the error log.

Try cleaning gradle and rebuilding it, if this doesn't work try invalidating your cache. Also, which gradle version are you using? because it looks like you're using 8.3.0 stripe, so you need to upgrade your gradle most likely. Perhaps try changing compileSdkVersion 27 and targetSdkVersion 27 to 28 and if you haven't, upgrade to >=gradle 3.3.0.

I have upgraded my gradle to version 4.10.1, chage the `compileSdkVersion ` and `targetSdkVersion ` to 28. Now there is another error which I have never seen before `Merging Errors: Error: Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory) from AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 is also present at AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91 value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory)` – Hong Yee Feb 15 '19 at 22:32
yeah, now it becomes a duplicate of [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53242928/10889053) hehe – Feb 16 '19 at 08:16
Still does not really understand why these problems happen haha – Hong Yee Feb 16 '19 at 08:28

After a few times of trying, I fixed this problem by Migrating to Android X. Refractor -> Migrate to AndroidX After migrating everything just work as charm! Hope this help some of the people who face the similar problem with mine! :)
