Program type already present: com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessageLite$Builder$LimitedInputStream

Question

I get the following error when using the google cloud stt sample app on my

Android studio: The app itself has already been compiled and run in another

Android studio environment.

Compile Error

Program type already present:com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessageLite$Builder
$LimitedInputStreamMessage{kind=ERROR, text=Program type already present: 
com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessageLite$Builder$LimitedInputStream, 
sources=[Unknown source file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}

My os is ubuntu 16.04 and Android version is Android studio V 3.1. Below It is a gradle source.

build.gradle(Project)

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common 
to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {

    jcenter()
    google()
}

    classpath 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.8.5'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    google()
    mavenCentral()
}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Of gradle source

compile "io.grpc:grpc-protobuf-lite:$grpcVersion"

Commenting this part will not cause an error. The errors related to protobuffer and grpc, but it is difficult to solve correctly.

I need help.

Answer 1

I have same problem and it can be temporarily solved by disabling D8 tool by setting Gradle property in gradle.properties file:

android.enableD8=false

I am using Android Studio 3.2 RC2.
