My understanding is that there are duplicate references to the same API (Likely different version numbers). It should be reasonably easy to debug when building from the command line.

Try ./gradlew yourBuildVariantName --debug from the command line.

The offending item will be the first failure. An example might look like:

14:32:29.171 [INFO] [org.gradle.api.Task] INPUT: /Users/mydir/Documents/androidApp/BaseApp/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/theOffendingAAR/libs/google-play-services.jar

14:32:29.171 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteAtMostOnceTaskExecuter] Finished executing task ':BaseApp:packageAllyourBuildVariantNameClassesForMultiDex'

14:32:29.172 [LIFECYCLE] [class org.gradle.TaskExecutionLogger] :BaseApp:packageAllyourBuildVariantNameClassesForMultiDex FAILED'

In the case above, the aar file that I'd included in my libs directory (theOffendingAAR) included the Google Play Services jar (yes the whole thing. yes I know.) file whilst my BaseApp build file utilised location services:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:6.5.87'

You can safely remove the offending item from your build file(s), clean and rebuild (repeat if necessary).

You need to check that you have inserted v4 library and compile library   You must not repeat library in your app or your dependence program   delete the repeat library so that just one V4 remains   in your app dir build gradle file add this command   android        configurations           all  exclude group   com android support   module   support-v4          all  exclude group   com android support   module   support-annotations             it works for me   You can try it

I have faced this issue as i have manually copied the jar in libs as well as mentioned the dependency in gradle file  You also check in your project structure  whether the same jar file is copied in any other folder like libs or in project folder

This is because you have added a library and given its dependency on a module more than once   In my case  I had added a library as a module and as a gradle dependency both   Removing one source of adding library  I removed gradle dependency  solved my problem

For me something similar happened when I had accidently added   apply plugin   kotlin-android    to my android library module  Removing the line fixes the issue

I had the same problem after upgrading the android SDK  I was able to run the application in the buildToolsVersion  23 0 1   I got the same error when I changed to buildToolsVersion  24 0 3    I resolved the problem by updating my java version from 1 7 to 1 8 with compileSdkVersion 24

User · Answer

check your dependencies versions  you must have compatible versions put attention specially to com google packages  must have same version like    compile  com google android gms play-services 8 3 0  compile  com google android gms play-services-maps 8 3 0    Both are 8 3 0  if you have another version compilation will throw that exception
