Error: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry - android-studio

Question

I'm trying to add a library to my project, right now my current build.gradle is:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.guycohen.cheaters"
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
compile 'com.whl.handytabbar:library:1.0.4'
compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'
compile 'com.daimajia.easing:library:1.0.1#aar'
compile 'com.daimajia.androidanimations:library:1.1.3#aar'
}
When I add a new library
compile 'com.github.navasmdc:PhoneTutorial:1.+#aar'
I get this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'.
> java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/print/PrintHelperKitkat$2$1.class
I've tried to fix this issue by adding
configurations { all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' }
I couldn't find a duplicate class in my project.
I'm sure whether if I could delete the duplicate entry it would run perfectly, but I'm not sure how I'd find it.

Answer 1

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.1.1'
compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}
compile ('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.2.0') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}
compile ('com.github.navasmdc:PhoneTutorial:1.+#aar') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Answer 2

I use this to replace all support libraries versions with the latest one that i use in gradle file:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
def requested = details.requested
if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
details.useVersion "26.0.1"
}
}
}
}

Answer 3

Try using this versions in build.gradle file.
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.4.0'

Your Error:
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/print/PrintHelperKitkat$2$1.class
Step 1:
In this case main hint is android/support/v4/print/PrintHelperKitkat$2$1.class
Step 2: Searching for the class, in your case the "PrintHelperKitkat.class" (in AndroidStudio just hit Ctrl+N on Windows or CMD-O on Mac)
Step 3: See which jar contains it - Android Studio will write it in the popup.
Step 4: Exclude it from all builds,
for example:
com.android.support:support-v4:_____
compile('your_conflicted_dependency')
{
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}
In my case my one dependency also included in my another AAR. So I
deleted that dependency

Answer 5

I was faced the same issue. I solved it by,
Make sure that in all imported project's build.gradle file should have same compileSdkVersion and dependencies versions like in your project's build.gradle file.
It will remove this error.
