To be honest, this is a somewhat boring video. But it's important because upgrading Gradle and migrating to AndroidX can fix a lot of issues. Plus, it's just the right thing to do. The Android Support Library is basically dead and should not be used by Android developers. Thankfully Android Studio provides an easy menu option to upgrade so we'll do that in this video.

This is part of the News Media app series where we build an app similar to an RSS reader with Kotlin and Android Studio. It's boring but highly critical.
