title: How to use Gradle resolutionStrategy to force dependency version?
body: <p>I am using Android support library <code>com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0</code>. However, I am also using <code>com.google.android.gms:play-services-nearby:16.0.0</code>, which depends on an earlier version of the support library.</p>
  
  <p>To fix this, I used a <code>resolutionStrategy</code> to force the support library to be version 28.0.0, but it isn't working. Android Studio is still complaining about conflicting dependencies. Why isn't my resolution strategy working?</p>
