Recently whenever I create new activity it always generate edgetoedge code like this:

class BonDetail : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        enableEdgeToEdge()
        setContentView(R.layout.bon_detail)
        ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(findViewById(R.id.main)) { v, insets ->
            val systemBars = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.systemBars())
            v.setPadding(systemBars.left, systemBars.top, systemBars.right, systemBars.bottom)
            insets
        }
    }
}

which I can just delete the line just fine but the problem is it also add this line into my gradle

implementation 'androidx.activity:activity:1.9.1'

and because of that broke my current app. because I assume it conflict with implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.9.0'

this is what my current gradle looks like:

    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.9.0'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.5.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:18.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:2.7.1'

    //MATERIAL DESIGN 
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.9.0'
    implementation 'androidx.activity:activity:1.9.1' <-- this is automatically added whenever I create new activity

This is an old project but I don’t want to change many things in the project since many of our client still use old android like 5.0 or 6.0.

I just want to prevent Android Studio to automatically change my gradle with this edgetoedge thing, anyone know how to do this?
