Remove CardView dependency in favour of MaterialCardView from Material Components #95

Closed EdricChan03 closed 4 years ago

EdricChan03 commented 4 years ago

Currently, the library uses the CardView widget from the androidx.cardview library. However, it seems that the library hasn't been maintained for a while.

A better alternative of the CardView widget would be the MaterialCardView widget which is an improved version of the CardView widget but supports the latest Material Design specs. This also removes the required dependency of the androidx.cardview library, especially if users remove this library in favour of the MaterialCardView widget.

EDIT: Turns out there's a PR for this: #94

Merged the PR. Thanks. I need to make these updates as well for my other apps that are now using AndroidX but I haven't got much time right now.
