Error duplicate entry: com/google/android/gms/location/places/zzj.class

Question

I am having this error when I try to run my project:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/android/gms/location/places/zzj.class

Here is the build.gradle file I am using:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
        classpath 'io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:0.89.1'
    }
}
apply plugin: "com.android.library"
apply plugin: "realm-android"

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 22

    buildTypes {

Answer 1

I have upgraded google play services (maps, location and gcm) from 9.0.0 to 9.2.0

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.0'

Then I have added this dependency:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.2.0'

And it works like a charm :)
