I have an Android app that has a targetSdkVersion of 25. It runs great on API 21+, however, I am trying to fix it to run on API 19+ (KitKat). My app does use Material Design, which I know was introduced in API 21, however I have seen here that there should be ways to back port it.
However, when I build and run, I am get the error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: javax/activation/MimeTypeParseException.class
when I run on an KitKat emulator.
Has anyone seen this error before when trying to back-version test their apps?
My gradle file has:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:percent:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:25.0.0'
compile 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:25.0.0'
What additional information can I provide to help debug this?

Update 2
I have been able to repeat this exact error by starting a branch new Android app from Android Studio 2.2.2, and using the above gradle file. So it has seems to have nothing to do with the actual code inside my app (which is not surprising).
Solved. The culprits were:
compile 'com.sun.mail:android-mail:1.5.6'
compile 'com.sun.mail:android-activation:1.5.6'
I have no idea why, but removing these two packages allowed the entire app to be run and deployed to < 21 versions of Android.
