  <pre><code>All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 28.0.0-alpha3, 26.1.0. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:28.0.0-alpha3 and com.android.support:support-media-compat:26.1.0 less... (Ctrl+F1) 
  There are some combinations of libraries, or tools and libraries, that are incompatible, or can lead to bugs. One such incompatibility is compiling with a version of the Android support libraries that is not the latest version (or in particular, a version lower than your targetSdkVersion).
