resolve androidx dependencies from maven.google.com

[kibotu]

as far as I can tell, the dependency versions are being provided by mvncentral:

however it lags behind the versions from google's maven server, e.g.

https://maven.google.com/web/index.html?q=androidx.compose.foundation#androidx.compose.foundation:foundation

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation-layout?repo=google

is it possible to also check google's server for androidx dependencies?

We use whatever repositories are configured in your build, so if you add Google’s then it should be checked.

the config looks like this

it uses maven central version for some reason :/

buildscript {

    repositories {
        maven { url "https://maven-central-eu.storage-download.googleapis.com/maven2/" }
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin:0.47.0"
        classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:5.1.0"
    }
}

allprojects {

    repositories {
        maven { url "https://maven-central-eu.storage-download.googleapis.com/maven2/" }
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

I usually run this task using --refresh-dependencies to force Gradle to query the repositories anew, or else it uses it the dependency cache (24 hour ttl, iirc). Does that help?

I recall annoyances of gradle halting the resolution on the the first repository listed that contains the dependency. That might be faster but was also annoying and error prone. You could try moving google() above to see if that fixes it. I think they restored the behavior of querying all and instead added repository content filtering so that for performance you can target certain repositories for a dependency. This way you could force androidx to go to google() and not mavenCental().

thanks for your comment! it pointed me into the right direction:

    maven { url "https://dl.google.com/android/maven2" }
    // google() //  https://dl.google.com/android/maven2/androidx/

the google one does not point to the correct maven server for some reason o.O changing it to https://dl.google.com/android/maven2 all androidx google dependencies are being resolved now correctly
