Conflict between Google Play Services and HoloEverywhere dependencies on Android Studio

Question

I've just started using Android Studio and Gradle and I'm facing a conflict error when I try to run my app. I've already done some research and the problem is that HoloEverywhere uses a custom support-v4 library (some internal classes have its visibility changed) that differs from the support-v4 library used by other libs, in this case Google Play Services. I've read in some posts like here to use the same support-v4 library across all modules, but in this case I can't do it because without the custom support-v4 library, the HoloEverywhere doesn't work and I can't touch the support-v4 library used by Google Play Services. I hope someone has already experienced this and found a solution, because this is driving me nuts :)

Here is the error log:

Answer 1

After some trial and error and thanks to @pyus13 and @Prototik tips, I was able to run my project using Android Studio. I removed all local copies of the dependency libraries, except for the ViewPagerIndicator. Here are the working gradle files:

settings.gradle:

include ':app'
include 'ViewPagerIndicator'

project(':ViewPagerIndicator').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, 'libraries/Android-ViewPagerIndicator/library')

build.gradle in the 'app' directory:

buildscript {
        repositories {
                mavenCentral()
        }
        dependencies {
                classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
                classpath 'org.holoeverywhere:plugin:0.2.+'
        }
}

apply plugin: 'holoeverywhere'
apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
        mavenCentral()
}

holoeverywhere {
        addons {
                create 'preferences'
                create 'slider'
        }
        library {
                version '2.1.0'
        }
}

android {
        compileSdkVersion 19
        buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'

        defaultConfig {
                minSdkVersion 10
                targetSdkVersion 19
        }
}

dependencies {
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.0.30'
        compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.+'
        compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.+@aar'
        compile 'fr.avianey:facebook-android-api:3.6.+@aar'

        compile project(':ViewPagerIndicator')
}
