cannot access ActivityCompatApi23 class file for ActivityCompatApi23 not found

Hi i added one signal libraries in to my project and suddenly when i run the project a lots of error shows up in my code which in top is

You are using different versions for support libraries
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.0-alpha1' <- here you are compiling 26.0.0-alpha1
// ...
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
// ...
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+' <- this one can be different from 26.0.0-alpha1 since it compiles versions greater than 26, i.e. version 27.1.1
compile 'com.android.support:design:26.+'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.+'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.+'
// ...
So when gradle tries to build your project, it finds two different support library versions.
I guess you can fix your problem with upgrading all your support libraries to version 27.1.1. Like this
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
// ...
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v27.1.1'
// ..
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1'
// ...
Also, as parekhkruti26 said in comments, never use 'X.+' for versions since it can cause problems like this and its not recommended. I guess android studio itself shows a warning when adding dependencies using 'X.+'.

Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug' Duplicate Zip Entry

I am getting the below error all of a sudden. The app was running fine till morning. Since then I have been getting this. I tried loading older commits from Git, however I am getting the same issue now. I can see that there's a duplicate entry of some class, but it is not very clear where. I have checked all of my libraries to locate the issue but in vain. Please help

Just change the version of a dependency-
from
compile 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.6.+'
to
compile 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.5.1'
Sync >> Clean >> Rebuild , and Done
In my case this changes fixed my issue.

This error appeared after Android released Support Library v27.1.0 (February 2018).
I think, this error is because of some dependencies used in the project.
compile 'com.another.library:1.2.3'
compile '.....'
Since every dependency is another project, with its own dependencies. Android tries to add all of these to the project, when building. If a dependency uses another version of a support library, this kind of conflicts or duplicates may occur.
Probably one of your dependencies has a line in its gradle file, declaring:
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.+'
which means "use the newest release of v.27".
When v.27.1.0 has been released your own compile 'com.android.support:...:26.1.0' lines caused a duplicate.
To solve this out:
You can either update your own dependencies to the new version
or
-if you are able to find- you can exclude the support libraries from the dependency using v.27.1.0:
compile('com.another.library:1.2.3') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v13'
}

Change the dependency version
Use this
implementation 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.5.1'
instead of
implementation 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.6.+'

This is my app build.gradle
P.S multidex enabled is true
Why this error happens?

Use :
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.0.2'
Instead of :
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.2.0'

the phone authentication was released with Firebase Android SDK v11 you need to update your auth module to 11.0.2 instead of 10.2.0

I am getting this error while I try to run my Android Application,
I have used Reside Menu as merge into my Application (not by Gradle dependency) and then I am trying to integrate a payment gateway but while using a payment gateway I have to import ".aar" package.
After successfully importing, when I try to run my application at that time I got this error of library "nineoldandroids". I think this error triggered because one of the my gradle plugin is also using the same library.
Please take a look of my gradle :-
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

So what could be the problem ?

Android speed-up application when we use multi library on Gradle

I'm using multi library which they are installed by Gradle on my appliaction, after opening application each time i get simple delay on opening application such as 10 second :| if i download libraries instead of using and installing by Gradle, that cause of speed up my application or not?

No because gradle saves them locally, you can go to your gradle.properties and set these values and enable the gradle to use more of your machine compute power.
