I think this it's due the android x update. Facing the same problem.

android x update , How to solve???

[aybarsyalcin]

hi, you can try
1. Convert your app to AndroidX via the standard AndroidX migration
2. npm install --save-dev jetifier
3. npx jetify
4. npx react-native run-android (your app should correctly compile and work)
5. Call npx jetify run in the postinstall target of your package.json (Any time your dependencies update you have to jetify again)

preBuild.doFirst {
    ant.replaceregexp(match: 'android.support.v4.content', replace: 'androidx.core.content', flags: 'g', byline: true)
            {
                fileset(dir: '../../node_modules/react-native-doc-viewer/android/src/main/java/com/reactlibrary/', includes: '*.java')
            }
}

Under android/app/build.gradle file

Add between android and dependencies
