Solution 1:

You can't have different versions of the same library inside an apk.

As you mentioned, by default, Gradle puts the newest one to the build. If you want to specify a concrete version of the library that should be used in your project, you can add a direct compile (or implementation / api for Android Gradle Plugin v3+) statement with a required version to get one.

Also, you can force version using a special syntax, but it can lead to some problems later. You can find more information about version conflicts resolution in this post
