I'm having difficulties with including xstream library to my Android gradle-based app. From what I've read in xstream documentation, it should work "out of the box". However, when I add dependency:
compile 'com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:1.4.8'
I get following exception during build process:
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: org/xmlpull/v1/XmlPullParser.class
Ok, so maybe I should exclude xmlpull? I tried changing this dependency to:
compile ('com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:1.4.8') {
exclude group: 'xmlpull', module: 'xmlpull'
}
And, as a result, after some time:
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception parsing classes
at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processClass(Main.java:752)
// ...

I've also checked project dependencies using gradle dependencies
, but found nothing xml-related there.

// compile ('com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:1.4.8') {

}
What should I do to include xstream library to my project?
Solution was to downgrade xstream to v1.4.7 and exclude xmlpull.
compile ('com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:1.4.7') {
exclude group: 'xmlpull', module: 'xmlpull'
}
I don't know exactly why, but I'd guess that it must be java8-related.
