android studio: duplicating files even when using exclude fix

I am having trouble building my app all of a sudden.
the error:
Error:Execution failed for task
Duplicate files copied in APK lib/x86_64/libogg.so

}
any help is greatly appreciated. I have tried longer exclude options as well in other posts that I have found but that didn't help either.

You can try using pickFirst in packagingOptions. You need to get the correct package name of libogg.so from File1 or File2:
packagingOptions {
pickFirst 'com/library/name/lib/x86_64/libogg.so'
...
}
UPDATE:
There is a conflicted dependencies:
compile 'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:android-sdk:0.4.2'
compile 'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:java-sdk:3.9.1'
From the Watson Developer Cloud Java SDK documentation you can find the following:
The Android SDK utilizes the Java SDK while making some
Android-specific additions. This repository can be found here. It
depends on OkHttp and gson.
which is pointing to the first library. So, you should only use:
compile 'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:android-sdk:0.4.2'

I have tried using
packagingOptions {

and this works but I don't want to exclude the licence please tell how I can avoid it with out using this
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.4.1'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:converter-gson:2.0.0-beta2'
}
here is my gradle which has many dependencies so please let me know which dependencies are causing the issue

Edit: If you want to go with the defined dependencies. You need to use the below code:
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
}
Otherwise you need to remove the used dependencies as they have conflicts in files.

You're mixing versions of the Firebase client, which is guaranteed to give you more problems down the line.
Use a single version for all your Firebase dependencies, such as 9.4.0:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.4.0' // this one changed

packagingOptions {
pickFirst 'META-INF/LICENSE'
}
I tried this and its working great please try it.

Error during Building an APK file in Android Studio 2.1.1

Couple of days ago, I upgraded my Android Studio, and now I am facing a problem.
Actually I am trying to build an APK file from my project to test my app on a real device and when I click at Build--> Build Apk then I receive couple of errors in Message Gradle Build. I don't know why these errors are coming please elaborate on the reason as well.
Errors

Edit - 1
As janki gadhiya said in her comment below, to change minifyEnabled true and try adding multiDexEnabled true under defaultConfig
with these changes both errors above are gone, but now this following error is coming up.

}
Edit : Explanations
Your errors 1 - 2 : mean you are having more than 65,000 methods in your project, so I told you to set multiDexEnable true.
Your error 3 : means you're having more than one library having the implementation for the class Request$Priority.class, so the compiler is confused which to choose. So it is showing the error Duplicate entry. This will be solved by packaging options, this will let you use duplicate files.

Add this in your build gradle
dexOptions {
incremental true
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
}

I am also getting the same error. When adding the
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:10.2.0'
but it is removed when i do as follow:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:10.2.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'**
and in BuildVarient use debugging mode.
I think it will help you.

while updating firebase any google play services then try to update all the libraries. this worked for me. hope it works in some cases.

Bit late to answer but I faced the same issue.
I was able to rectify it using multiDexEnabled -> true
and used packaging options in build.gradle, post the changes .apk got installed successfully.
Syntax:
defaultConfig {
....
....
multiDexEnabled true
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
}
buildTypes {
...
...
}
Hope it helps.

Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.7+

I want to use some Google services in my application, so I have added this line to the .gradle file: com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.7+. But after trying to sync the project I got this error:
Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.7+
I checked all the available answers on Stackoverflow. They suggest installing the sdk for Google repository and Google play services and I did that. Here is a screenshot of the sdks installed on my computer:
Here is the gradle file code:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

compile files ('libs/commons-math-2.2-javadoc.jar')

}
I tried to remove the +, but that didn't solve it.
How can I solve the problem?
EDIT: As suggested by Stanojkovic and Gabriele Mariotti using 8.4 solves the problem, this is because I was mistakenly trying to use 8.7 which is not released yet. Thanks all.

Try with
com.google.android.gms:play-services-panorama:8.4.0

Your issue depends by
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.7+'
This version is not published yet (the apk is still in rollout, but the library is not public in the IDE)
Use the last stable release:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

Apache HttpClient Android (Gradle)

I have added this line to my build.gradle
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpclient-android' , version: '4.3.5'
and I want to use MultipartEntityBuilder in my code. However Android studio doesn't add the library to my code.
Can anyone help me with this?

If you are using target SDK as 23 add the below code in your build.gradle
android{
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}
Additional note here: don't try using the gradle versions of those files. They are broken (28.08.15). I tried over 5 hours to get it to work. It just doesn't.
not working:
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.1'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5'
Another thing don't use:
'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'
It's referring to 21 API level.

The accepted answer does not seem quite right to me. There is no point dragging a different version of HttpMime when one can depend on the same version of it.
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpclient-android' , version: '4.3.5'
compile (group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpmime' , version: '4.3.5') {
exclude module: 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient'
}

Try adding this to your dependencies:
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.4-alpha1'
And generally if you want to use a library and you are searching for the Gradle dependency line you can use Gradle Please
EDIT: Check this one too.

None of the others worked for me. I had to add the following dependency, as explained here
compile group: 'cz.msebera.android' , name: 'httpclient', version: '4.4.1.1'
because I was targeting API 23.

I resolved problem by adding following to my build.gradle file
android {
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'}
However this only works if you are using gradle 1.3.0-beta2 or greater, so you will have to add this to buildscript dependencies if you are on a lower version:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0-beta2'

I searched over and over this solution works like a charm ::
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.anzma.memories"
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

I don't know why but (for now) httpclient can be compiled only as a jar into the libs directory in your project.
HttpCore works fine when it is included from mvn like that:
dependencies {
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.3'
}

Working gradle dependency
Try this:
compile 'org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped:org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped.org.apache.http.client:4.1.2'
