How to resolve duplicate class error in gradle build?

Question

I have tried to use ibm tone analyzer api for my project, but if I include the dependency I get this error:

Duplicate class javax.annotation.CheckForNull found in modules annotations-3.0.1.jar (com.google.code.findbugs:annotations:3.0.1) and jsr305-3.0.2.jar (com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2) Duplicate class javax.annotation.CheckForSigned found in modules annotations-3.0.1.jar (com.google.code.findbugs:annotations:3.0.1) and jsr305-3.0.2.jar (com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2)

I have tried to delete testing dependencies, but still won't work, please help

add applicationVariants.all to your gradle.build:

android {
    applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        variant.getRuntimeConfiguration().exclude group: 'com.google.code.findbugs', module: 'jsr305'
    }
}
