TransformException duplicate entry for common.annotations.Beta

Question

This started when I added google-api-services-calendar. I am getting this error when trying to build:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.      com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException:       duplicate entry: com/google/common/annotations/Beta.class 

This is part of the output when running ./gradlew app:dependencies:

I have tried adding this to all my dependencies:

compile (some.dependencie.that.may.or.may.not.have.the.duplicate){     exclude group: 'com.google.common', module: 'annotations' } 

I tried adding this to my android block:

configurations {    all*.exclude group: 'com.google.common', module: 'annotations' }     

with these variations:

 all*.exclude module: 'annotations`  all*.exclude group: 'com.google.common'  all*.exclude group: 'com.google.common.annotations' 

This is the build.gradle before any attempts to fix error:

dependencies {     compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])      // Google     compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0'     apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0'     compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:8.1.0'     compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.1.0'     compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'     compile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'     compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.4'     compile('com.google.apis:google-api-services-calendar:v3-rev125-1.20.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }      // Android Design     compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'     compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'     compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'     compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:23.0.1'      // Android Support     compile('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }     compile('com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }      // Firebase     compile('com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }     compile('com.firebase:firebase-client-jvm:2.3.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }      // Joda Time     compile 'net.danlew:android.joda:2.8.0'     compile 'org.joda:joda-convert:1.2'      // Square     compile 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.5'     compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:7.0.1'     provided 'javax.annotation:jsr250-api:1.0'      // Common     compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.4'     compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-collections4:4.0'      compile 'com.bignerdranch.android:expandablerecyclerview:1.0.3' } 

I have searched my project for Beta.class and found that it is only being used in some jars; com.google.common.annotations, com.google.api.client.util and dagger.internal. I tried to add the exclude group to those related dependencies and still see the same error.

I have been stuck here for way too long. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Exclude group: 'com.google.guava' from play services related dependencies.

For example:

compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'){     exclude group: 'com.google.guava' } 

P.S. Before getting your error I've faced with a lot of different, so my final dependencies list is:

dependencies {     compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])      // Google     compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0'     apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0'     compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:8.1.0'){         exclude group: 'com.google.guava'     }     compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.1.0'){         exclude group: 'com.google.guava'     }     compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'){         exclude group: 'com.google.guava'     }     compile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'     compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.4'      compile('com.google.apis:google-api-services-calendar:v3-rev125-1.20.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'         exclude group: 'com.android.support'         exclude module: 'support-annotations'         exclude group: 'com.google.guava'     }      // Android Design     compile ('com.android.support:design:23.0.1'){         exclude group: 'com.android.support'     }     compile ('com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1') {         exclude group: 'com.android.support'     }      compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'     compile ('com.android.support:palette-v7:23.0.1'){         exclude group: 'com.android.support'     }      // Android Support     compile('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'         exclude group: 'com.android.support'     }      compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.0.1'     compile('com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'         exclude module: 'support-annotations'     }      // Firebase     compile('com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }     compile('com.firebase:firebase-client-jvm:2.3.0') {         exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'     }      // Joda Time     compile 'net.danlew:android.joda:2.8.0'     compile 'org.joda:joda-convert:1.2'      // Square     compile 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.5'     compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:7.0.1'     provided 'javax.annotation:jsr250-api:1.0'      // Common     compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.4'     compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-collections4:4.0'      compile ('com.bignerdranch.android:expandablerecyclerview:1.0.3'){         exclude group: 'com.android.support'     } }
