Answer 1

CommonsWare answer is correct. Dependency org.json:json:20090211 is ignored for debug as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.

If you are using gradle dependency try excluding org.json from the package.

compile ('com.your.dependency.name:0.0.0'){
  exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
}

This one worked for me.

It would appear to be that you are trying to use some Java dependency that is not set up for Android. Most likely, it is whatever dependency you just added. That could be for org.json:json, or it could be for something else that has a transitive dependency on org.json:json.

If you added the dependency on org.json:json yourself, just use the copy of those classes that are in the Android SDK.

If you added a dependency on something else, and it is what is requiring org.json:json, talk to the developers of the library you are trying to use and discuss with them how best to use that library on Android.
