From terminal/cmd, in the root of your app, same place where you would run any of the other capacitor commands (open, sync, update, copy, etc.)

Hi jcesarmobile, Thank you for your quick reply. I am not using capacitor commands, so am not familiar with them. I was forced into this because I have a error when trying to fix an issue with an older program, but are now recompiling issues because I have updated some studio drivers that impact an older program, instead of maintaining settings from the moment it was made.... The error is error: package android.support.v4.content does not exist import android.support.v4.content.WakefulBroadcastReceiver; *If you say the root of my app : I assume it is the directory of the specific app ? * npm install --save-dev jetifier = OK * when doing npx jetify, I get some errors as below : PS H:\android\homecontrol> npx jetify node:internal/fs/utils:344 throw err; ^ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'node_modules' at readdirSync (node:fs:1390:3) at readDir (H:\android\node_modules\jetifier\src\utils.js:14:17) at Object.<anonymous> (H:\android\node_modules\jetifier\index.js:12:15) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1101:14) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1153:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:981:32) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:822:12) at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1005:19) at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:102:18) at Object.<anonymous> (H:\android\node_modules\jetifier\bin\jetify:3:1) { errno: -4058, syscall: 'scandir', code: 'ENOENT', path: 'node_modules' } any more suggestions ? regards Ludo

If you are not using Capacitor, then I can't help you, sorry.

This repository is for Capacitor issues, you should probably ask on stack overflow or support/forums of the software you are using.

If it's just a regular android app, Android Studio has a migrator to migrate to AndroidX, it's in Refactor -> Migrate to AndroidX
