Problems migrating to AndroidX

[BumbleFlash]

Firebase 17+ versions use JetPack (or Androidx). Some material design libraries like BottomSheetView don't build when migrated to AndroidX.

When firebase is upgraded to 17, without migrating to androidx, the manifest merger fails. The error message looks like this:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91

Thanks @BumbleFlash! For some context, we were looking to update Crashlytics to fix this release variant issue - #24.

Update: @barbeau I tried refactoring the code mostly by updating the imports to androidx.core and some of them didn't require a lot of changes. However, there are classes that use LayoutInflator (deprecated in androidx) that need major code changes.
