Can't build the project with Holo Everywhere

All I did was to add HoloEverywhere Library as a library to my project and change in the manifest

from android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen" >

to android:theme="@style/Holo.Theme.NoActionBar.Fullscreen" >

Now I can't run my project, I get:

[2014-07-14 14:17:26 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;
[2014-07-14 14:17:26 - MyApp] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;

I have no idea what it means or how to fix it. It runs perfectly without HoloEverywhere.

PS: Just so you don't ask, HoloEverywhere is marked as a library, both that and my project are built with 4.4.2. I'm using some other libraries as well, but shouldn't interfere as those are not much for UI.

Edit: Checking some other questions like mine, I think I have to remove one of the android-support-v4 from lib. But which one?

  • my project has android-support-v4.jar in lib
  • another library I'm using has android-support-v4.jar in its lib folder and these 2 worked perfectly before, as I mentioned
  • HoloEverywhere has support-v4-19.1.0.jar in its lib folder
Solution

  • I ended up deleting all android-support-v4.jar from all projects/libraries and only leave support-v4-19.1.0.jar in HoloEverywhere. If eclipse says android-support-v4.jar is necessary in any library/project, just put support-v4-19.1.0.jar instead.

    I guess support-v4-19.1.0.jar is a custom library built on top of android-support-v4.jar, so it includes everything and more.
