User · Answer

The problem is that the META-INF folder won't get filtered so multiple entries of NOTICE or LICENSE cause duplicates when building and it is tryed to copy them together.

Dirty Quick Fix:

Open the .jar file in your .gradle/caches/... folder (with a zip compatible tool) and remove or rename the files in the META-INF folder that cause the error (usally NOTICE or LICENSE). (I know thats also in the OP, but for me it was not really clear until I read the google forum)

EDIT:

This was fixed in 0.7.1. Just add the confilcting files to exclude.

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
    }
}

In my case I had to include several additional exclusions   It appears it doesn t like Regular expressions which would ve made this a nice one-liner     android       packagingOptions           exclude  META-INF DEPENDENCIES txt          exclude  META-INF DEPENDENCIES          exclude  META-INF dependencies txt          exclude  META-INF LICENSE txt          exclude  META-INF LICENSE          exclude  META-INF license txt          exclude  META-INF LGPL2 1          exclude  META-INF NOTICE txt          exclude  META-INF NOTICE          exclude  META-INF notice txt

I noticed this commit comment in AOSP  the solution will be to exclude some files using DSL  Probably when 0 7 1 is released    commit e7669b24c1f23ba457fdee614ef7161b33feee69 Author  Xavier Ducrohet  lt --- gt  Date    Thu Dec 19 10 21 04 2013 -0800      Add DSL to exclude some files from packaging       This only applies to files coming from jar dependencies      The DSL is       android         packagingOptions           exclude  META-INF LICENSE txt

I think you need to include only these options in build gradle   packagingOptions           exclude  META-INF DEPENDENCIES          exclude  META-INF NOTICE          exclude  META-INF LICENSE          p s same answer from my post in    Error    duplicate files during packaging of APK

User · Answer

Important to know in what file it comes to this error  in you example it is META-INF LICENSE txt    in my case it was in META-INF LICENSE  without   txt    and then in the file META-INF ASL2 0 so I added to my build gradle this lines   android       packagingOptions           exclude  META-INF LICENSE          exclude  META-INF ASL2 0            Very important     -  add the name of the file in the same style  that you see it in the error message  the text is case sensitive  and there is a difference between   txt and   without  txt

If you want to do your part as developer  utilizing open source libraries  you should try including all those open source licenses within your apk  To do this  you can use the merge method in your packagingOptions   Example   packagingOptions              This will get include every license and notice regardless of what dir it   s in          merge     LICENSE txt          merge     NOTICE txt          merge     notice txt          merge     license txt          merge     NOTICE          merge     LICENSE          merge     notice          merge     license          merge     LGPL2 1             This will exclude any README files  regardless of the dir or the file type          exclude     README        This answer is better than using pickFirst because that method only picks the first license it finds and disregards all the rest  kinda rendering it useless in this case   So in short  use the merge method to include all those licenses from those kickass open source libraries you   ve been using   More info on Gradle PackagingOptions
