Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat with Gradle

Question

When I run ./gradlew assembleDebug I'm getting:

:app:dexDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:
    /home/grub/Main/android-sdk-linux/build-tools/19.1.0/dx --dex --num-threads=4 --output 

List of merged classes and jars:

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
        com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;

It's very similar to this question and problem should be in multiple support-v4 libraries. I cleaned up build.gradle :

repositories {
    maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
    mavenCentral()
}

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 8
        versionName "2.1.17"
    }
    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.+'
        compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:5+'){
            exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
        }
        compile(project(':libraries:com.typefacedwidgets')) {
            exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
        }
        compile(project(':libraries:com.truepagerindicator')) {
            exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
        }
        compile ('com.sothree.slidinguppanel:library:+'){
            exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
        }
        compile ('com.github.chrisbanes.pulltorefresh:sample:2.1.1+'){
            exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'support-v4'
        }
        compile 'com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:1.4.7'
        compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.6.1'
        compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp-urlconnection:2.0.0'
        compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.0.0'
        compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
        compile 'de.greenrobot:eventbus:2.2.1'
    }
}

To check dependencies I did ./gradlew -q -dependencies which is showing:

+--- com.android.support:support-v4:20.+ -> 20.0.0
|    \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:20.0.0
+--- com.google.android.gms:play-services:5+ -> 5.2.08
+--- project :libraries:com.typefacedwidgets
+--- project :libraries:com.truepagerindicator
+--- com.sothree.slidinguppanel:library:+ -> 2.0.1
|    \--- com.nineoldandroids:library:+ -> 2.4.0

|    \--- com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.0.0
|         \--- com.squareup.okio:okio:1.0.0
+--- com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.0.0 (*)
+--- com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3
\--- de.greenrobot:eventbus:2.2.1

It seems like it should be OK but problem remains the same.

UPDATE:

The problem was in apkLib dependency and confuse msg from Gradle. It was solved like in this answer putting Android-PullToRefresh into separate android library project in Gradle.

Answer 1

This error appeared to me when I imported some libs that required Google Play services,

I just passed from:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'

to:

compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87') {
    exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Now it builds ok
