I have solved my problem

The problem arises from the mapsforge-map-android-extras dependencies in Maven / jCenter centrals (where is declared differently as jar vs aar).

To overcome that annoyance you can declare it in Gradle as a non transitive dependency:

compile('org.mapsforge:mapsforge-map-android-extras:0.6.0') {
    transitive = false
}
