Latest version of Glide giving dependency error

Question

I have upgraded the version of Glide from 4.0.0-RC0 to 4.4.0. But it is giving me an error saying

Error:Module 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.4.0' depends on one or more Android Libraries but is a jar

It is not saying which jar or any other information. Does anybody know how to fix this? I am also attaching the entries for Glide in my build.gradle

compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.4.0'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:okhttp3-integration:4.4.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.4.0'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:annotations:4.4.0'

EDIT : I am using the support library version 27.0.1

Solution 1

I faced the same issue, but using this solved it :

compile('com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.4.0@aar') {
    transitive = true;
}

To pull in the annotations module which contains @GlideModule, you have to use transitive = true

Solution 2

This is may be glide issue so, I will prefer to don't update glide to com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.4.0 till now. you can use older version like com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.3.1 or com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.3.0 or com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.2.0

you can read more about these issues on

issue 2318

issue 2319

Solution 3

Just use this in app.gradle and you are done :

compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'

This is not the answer. it is the same thing that I have, "implementation" is introduced in latest gradle version. I dont have any issues with my gradle version.
