find out the lib depends on the support v4  and exclude it   code in build gradle is like this   androidTestCompile  com android support test espresso espresso-contrib 2 2 1            http   stackoverflow com a 30931887 5210     exclude group   com android support   module   appcompat      exclude group   com android support   module   support-v4      exclude module   recyclerview-v7      In my situation  the lib  espresso  has a jar called support-v4 and in my project  app  have the same support-v4  exclude the support-v4 when import espresso   PS  it seems compile project can not work with the exclude

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

just erase android support v4 util TimeUtils class

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

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

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

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
