UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException

Question

I am trying to integrate barcodefraglibv2 into my android app in AndroidStudio. I tried to copy libs core.jar and barcodelib.jar into libs directory. However when I try to run application, I get following error

Error:Execution failed for task ':Blok:dexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:

I have no luck trying to solve it.

Answer 1

You have multiple copies of the classes in zxing in your app. You should likely have exactly one copy: the core .jar in libs/ and nothing else.

Answer 2

Solved,

I removed libraries, reload project, add libraries, removed my references to support-v4, removed libraries again, build, add libraries, build, added back references and build.

Answer 3

I removed from /libs folder and cleaned and rebuild it again.problem fixed
