Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process guava-21.0.jar Android 3.1 Dev Channel

Question

After updating my dependency versions in AndroidStudio3.1, I started getting the following error:

    Information:Gradle tasks [:app:assembleDebug]
Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process C:\Users\Blabla\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\com.google.guava\guava\21.0\3a3d111be1be1b745edfa7d91678a12d7ed38709\guava-21.0.jar

Information:BUILD FAILED in 6s

I have already cleaned and rebuilt project. Checked my "multiDexEnabled true" and 'compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2' is added.

What else can I do?

EDIT: Adding build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.blabla"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1

        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

        multiDexEnabled true
    }

        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:1.3.9'
    }

}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

Answer 1

I had the same issue in react-native project,

the below lines worked for me,

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
} 

Answer 2

Update your Guava version

Guava 21 is Java 8 only.

Update your gradle to Guava version 27.0.1-android, which is compatible with Android:

Gradle 4.6+:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
}

Previous Gradle versions:

dependencies {
  compile 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
}

Answer 3

I had same problem and I solved it cleaning project and rebuilding it.

In Android Studio go to Build --> Clean Project and after, Build --> Rebuild Project

Hope it helps
