TransformException duplicate entry for org/intellij/lang/annotations/Identifier.class

Question

I am getting this error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: 
duplicate entry: org/intellij/lang/annotations/Identifier.class

It started after I added compile "com.wefika:flowlayout:0.4.0" to my gradle

This is my gradle file

 packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' // will not include NOTICE file
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' // will not include LICENSE file
    // as noted by @Vishnuvathsan you may also need to include
    // variations on the file name. It depends on your dependencies.
    // Some other common variations on notice and license file names
    exclude 'META-INF/notice'
    exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/license'
    exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
}

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

Answer 1

See this issue here, the comments provide the solution https://github.com/blazsolar/FlowLayout/issues/31

Basically, you need to change the dependency to look like:

compile ("com.wefika:flowlayout:<version>") {
    exclude group: 'com.intellij', module: 'annotations'
}

Answer 2

Conflict with it：

compile 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'

Because it contains the same annotations as kotlin

In my case, I remove it and fix.

Hope it can help you.
