brodybits opened a new issue #69: androidx support
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/69
 
 
   From discussion in apache/cordova-android#565 I think that `androidx` is not 
supported properly and needs to be improved. Described in a number of places 
including:
   - <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51280090/what-is-androidx>
   - <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/> (with important info in 
<https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate>)
   - 
<https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/05/hello-world-androidx.html>
   
   In short: `androidx` Java packages replace use of `android` Java packages 
for "unbundled" Java packages, meaning part of the SDK and not part of the 
Android system libraries. Use of old "unbundled" Java packages seems to be 
deprecated, obsolete.
   
   I tried to explain in apache/cordova-android#565 that this should not be an 
issue with the Cordova Android platform itself. I think we will have to update 
at least some of the plugins, though.
   
   I am flagging this as a bug at the top level due to usability issues that I 
think have started to come to light in apache/cordova-android#565, especially 
with the PSPDFKit.
   
   I would *personally* like to see this resolved before we finish the Cordova 
9 release (#10). This is my personal opinion for the sake of usability and not 
to be interpreted as the official position of Apache Cordova.
