Check support for Gradle 4.4

[lintax]

Gone through tutorial

1. I've cloned the repository
2. Checked out release-v2
3. Added suggested lines to settings.gradle

Got an error
Error:Cannot create variant 'android-lint' after configuration ':exoplayer-library-core:debugRuntimeElements' has been resolved

I've checked with old gradle version (4.1) and it worked.
Seems, the current gradle 4.4 is not supported by your build scripts

We'll keep this open until we confirm ExoPlayer works with gradle 4.4.

I tried using gradle 4.4 and things seem to work fine with 2.7.1. If you're still seeing issues with 2.7.1, please provide detailed reproduction steps. Thanks!

This is still an issue, I think.

Is there a manual way to fix this issue? Or only downgrade Android Studio to previous version?

[lintax]

@needz there is hardly any connection to Android Studio version. You can just decrease gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties

[needz]

@lintax, after upgrading to Android Studio 3.1 the minimum required gradle version is 4.4, so I can’t really downgrade it. Already tried.

[lintax]

@needz yeah, not realized that 3.1 was released already
As a quick-but-not-fast-to-do-fix, I think you can make a separate project to build your exoplayer version with old Android Studio and gradle versions, and depend on already built aar in the main project.
Or yes, revert to previous version.

I just came across the same error - updated AS to 3.1 and my project wouldn't compile anymore.
I replaced AS 3.1 with 3.0.1 and wanted to downgrade the gradle version in gradle wrapper properties, but also in AS 3.0.1 it tells me Gradle 4.4 is the minimum. I believe I had the same config working fine half an hour ago and now I can't compile my project anymore.
(I'm using ExoPlayer 2.7.1 in my project)

Any suggestions?
