gradle dependencies are out of date

[bwitt]

I notice the dependencies listed in app/build.gradle are out of date:

transdroid/app/build.gradle

Lines 80 to 104 in aadddd0

	dependencies {
	// Android support
	implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
	implementation 'androidx.preference:preference:1.1.1'
	implementation 'androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.1.0'
	implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'
	// Other
	implementation 'org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:4.7.0'
	implementation 'org.androidannotations:ormlite-api:4.7.0'
	implementation 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-core:5.1'
	implementation 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-android:5.1'
	implementation 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.5'
	implementation 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.10.1'
	implementation 'com.nispok:snackbar:2.11.0'
	implementation 'org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-lib:3.1.1'
	implementation 'net.iharder:base64:2.3.9'
	implementation('com.github.afollestad.material-dialogs:core:0.9.6.0@aar') {
	transitive = true
	}
	implementation 'com.evernote:android-job:1.2.6'
	annotationProcessor 'org.androidannotations:androidannotations:4.7.0'
	annotationProcessor 'org.androidannotations:ormlite:4.7.0'
	}

Perhaps we can configure automation like dependabot to help keep these updated?

I updated a couple of them, but I need to be careful not to break stuff. They have in the past, for sure. And androidannotations is no longer developed, as are some other dependencies (ormlite). Honestly... we'd probably be better off doing some more major rewrite. 🫣
