    Go to the documentation to learn how to Fix dependency resolution errors.

There is the issue of duplicate dependencies (annotations-12.0.jar and annotations-13.0.jar) and have a loo into my Gradle file.

I am unable to resolve this error, I have tried to explicitly menttion the annotations dependency but it dose not solve my issue, here is the medium article which I looked at.

Answer 1

For another ones, who maybe reach here. It happens also if you use modules clashing transitive dependency(ies).

Snippet of error message:

"Duplicate class javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig found in modules jetified-javaee-web-api-7.0.jar (javax:javaee-web-api:7.0) and jetified-tyrus-standalone-client-1.14.jar (org.glassfish.tyrus.bundles:tyrus-standalone-client:1.14)"

In my case, i was using Tyrus Websocket. Everything was fine while using another library of mine in 'libs' folder. After converting this library to a module, in the same project, I started receiving that error.

It was because my lib utilizes 'javax:javaee-web-api:7.0' which has packages that are already in Tyrus, on the main App. As the lib module would keep needing the class, i just set 'compileOnly' instead of 'implementation' and the sun shined again. I think joining both in one, at root's 'build.gradle' would also work.

Answer 2

You have 2 of implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0' in your gradle.
Delete one of them then re-sync.

UPDATE

delete implementation 'com.intellij:annotations:+@jar' too

Answer 3

use this line in your gradle.properies

android.enableJetifier=true
