I have tried many solutions on this website but still, the problem is not solved. The issue is due to Android X library. When I added Android X, this issue was resolved but it opened up new issue. I don't want to add Android X. How to fix this issue?

Earlier this error was coming:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91

is also present at [androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory).

Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:19:5-142:19 to override.

After I added tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory", this error is came:

 java.lang.RuntimeException: Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

at com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder.mergeManifestsForApplication(AndroidBuilder.java:540)    

at com.android.build.gradle.tasks.MergeManifests.doFullTaskAction(MergeManifests.java:173)

Merging Error (in Android Manifest):

I think you are migrating to AndroidX libs.

Add below lines to gradle.properties file

android.useAndroidX=true

android.enableJetifier=true

Remove tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory" from manifest.

Replace android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity to androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

Migrating to AndroidX

You can try adding:

android:appComponentFactory="android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory"

To the tag <application > in your manifest.
