java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry during packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex

Question

I am not sure what this error means.

Execution failed for task ':excelSior:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'.
> java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/util/TimeUtils.class

I am currently using android-support-v4.jar for my libraries

dependencies {
    compile project(':addThisSDK')
    compile project(':centeredContentButton')
    compile project(':googleplayservices_lib')
    compile files('libs/adxtag2.4.6.jar')
    compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
    compile files('libs/aws-android-sdk-1.7.1.1-debug.jar')
    compile files('libs/commons-lang-2.6.jar')
    compile files('libs/crittercism_v4_4_0_sdkonly.jar')
    compile files('libs/dd-plist.jar')
    compile files('libs/FiksuAndroidSDK_4.1.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/iqengines-sdk-barcode.jar')
    compile files('libs/irEventTracker-1.2.jar')
    compile files('libs/jolt-core-0.0.7.jar')
    compile files('libs/json-utils-0.0.7.jar')
    compile files('libs/jsoup-1.7.2.jar')
    compile files('libs/kooaba-api-v4-java.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Error does not show up during gradle sync. Just when I try to run the application

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

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!
