Question

When i used the gradle to build and run the apk, i get the error below::::

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformNative_libsWithMergeJniLibsForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK lib/armeabi-v7a/libgnustl_shared.so
    File1:

    File2:

Answer 1

Cleaner solution is to explicitly tell Gradle that you know about the problem and accept any of these files. Depending on the architectures you support you may need only some of the. You can find details in documentation

android {

 // some stuff
 packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libgnustl_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libgnustl_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libgnustl_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/libgnustl_shared.so'
    }
}
