Gradle project does not build when I add RoboBlender

I have added RoboGuice 3 dependency into my gradle build file it compiles and runs, however the application crashes because of NoClassDefFoundError: AnnotationDatabaseImpl. Did some research that suggested that RoboBlender was necessary to generate the definition (I'm familiar with RoboGuice 2 which does not require RoboBlender) but when I add RoboBlender the project no longer builds.

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.+'
compile 'com.koushikdutta.urlimageviewhelper:urlimageviewhelper:1.0.4'
compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:1.2.1'
compile 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.4.0'
compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:1.2.1'
compile 'org.twitter4j:twitter4j-core:4.0.2'
compile files('libs/json-me.jar')
compile files('libs/twitter_api_me-1.9.jar')
compile('ch.acra:acra:4.5.0') {
    exclude group: 'org.json'
}
compile 'org.roboguice:roboguice:3.0.1'
provided 'org.roboguice:roboblender:3.0.1'

}

Build Error:

 Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.

  • Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.) Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
  • The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem. Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
    • In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

    Whats causing this and how can I fix it?

    Solution

  • Well I found a workaround, I just disabled AnnotationDatabase processing and removed RoboBlender dependency and that fix my problem. I would still like to know why I'm having this problem in the first place.
