Simple AndroidX Migration Script
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# I've found that the "Migrate to AndroidX" converter in Android Studio doesn't work very
# well, so I wrote my own script to do the simple job of converting package names.
#
# You can download a CSV of package names here: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/downloads/androidx-class-mapping.csv
#
# It'll run faster on a clean build because then there are fewer files to scan over.
#
# Uses `gsed` because I'm on a Mac. Can easily replace with `sed` if you don't have `gsed`.
#
# This isn't perfect; it won't find every conversion issue. You break it you buy it. Viewer discretion is advised.
MAPPING_FILE=path/to/androidx-class-mapping.csv

done <<< "$(cat $MAPPING_FILE)"
find $PROJECT_DIR \( -name "*.kt" -o -name "*.java" -o -name "*.xml" \) -type f -not -path '*/\.git*' -print0 | xargs -0 gsed -i "$replace"

after run the script.sh
It seems that there is an error: android.support.v7.widget.GridLayoutManager => androidx.gridlayout.widget.GridLayoutManager
It should be : android.support.v7.widget.GridLayoutManager => androidx.recyclerview.widget.GridLayoutManager

I've noticed a substantial performance improvement by running gradle clean before running this script.
The comment on line 8 suggests this but it is easy to overlook.

It'll run faster on a clean build because then there are fewer files to scan over.

The script now runs in 18s instead of 2m43s!
