Remove Support Library Dependency #23

Open cstarner opened 4 years ago

cstarner commented 4 years ago

We are attempting to move our application away from the Android support library, as it is being phased out. The newer version of Glide no longer require the Support library as a dependency, and there are now Xamarin bindings for AndroidX. Would it be possible to either update the dependencies to the AndroidX library, or to make releases that use it, along side the Support library releases?

Any update on this? At this point, most developers should be off of the Android Support libraries and exclusively using the AndroidX libraries, so it would be safe to remove the Android Support libraries from Xamarin Android Glide and to use AndroidX instead.

For others who run into this, rather than waiting on a dev who hasn't updated this repo in 3 years to update to AndroidX, instead switch to Xamarin's own supported package: https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinComponents/tree/master/Android/Glide.
