Is there a way to exclude jar from aar? there are classes.jar and lint.jar in appcompat-1.2.0.aar . I want to exclude lint.jar when I implmentation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
when I place implmentation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0' to build gradle , my customized Lint rules will donot work. Because there is a lint.jar in appcomat.aar, so I want exclude lint.jar from appcomat.aar.
Because lint is just a jar in appcompat.aar, There is no lint dependency in pom.xml, So I cannot use blow code to exclude lint.jar :
implementation('androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0') {
exclude group: 'androidx.appcompat', module: 'lint'
}
You can use something like
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat', module: 'lint'
}
in your app level build.gradle file.
This basically excludes some of the modules inside the libraries which you do not need to use.
Group specifies the package name of the dependency you have imported, and module specifies the particular module that you wish to exclude.
I want to develop a solution that allows me to use an external jar library in an SDK generated in aar file for an Android project.
What I have as inputs :
SDK : "de.xx.sdk:xxx-android-v1.0.0"
external library : "libs/xxxx-v1.0.0"
what I found out in my investigation is how to exclude a library from project like the following :
implementation('android.arch.work:work-runtime:1.0.0') {
exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'listenablefuture'
}
Is there something similar to write in gradle file how to include a library instead of exclude it.
implementation('de.xx.sdk:xxx-android-v1.0.0') {
include group: 'libs/xxxx-v1.0.0'
}
Thank you
You should try to put your jar into a module (File->New->New Module->Import JAR/AAR Package) and then add the module as a dependency.
implementation('de.xx.sdk:xxx-android-v1.0.0') {
include group: 'libs/xxxx-v1.0.0'
}
You can't do it in this way.
Something like exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'listenablefuture' is possible because you have an artifact with a pom file published in a maven repo.
In the pom file there is the list of the transitive dependencies, and if there is a match with the group/module gradle is able to exclude it.
To achieve something similar, you have to publish the lib a in maven repo with a group/name (it can't be lib/....v1.0.0)
I know this is quite old, but it might can help the others
can add this snippet to build.gradle

I am not sure what this error means.

What could be the problem?
You've probably fixed this by now but just so this doesn't stay unanswered,
Try adding this to your build.gradle:
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
You need to check that you have inserted v4 library and compile library? You must not repeat library in your app or your dependence program.
delete the repeat library so that just one V4 remains.
in your app dir build.gradle file
add this command:
android{
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}
}
it works for me! You can try it!
I also came across this kind issue when re import old eclipse project. It occurred some old dependency as jar file in the project.
just remove
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
in gradle file
and add dependency in the gradle file.
It works for me ..
In my case the mentioned "duplicate entry" error arised after settingmultiDexEnable=true in the build.gradle.
In order to fully resolve the error first of all have a look at Configure Apps with Over 64K Methods (espescially "Configuring Your App for Multidex with Gradle").
Furthermore search for occurences of the class that causes the "duplicate entry" error using ctrl+n in Android Studio. Determine the module and dependency that contains the duplicate and exclude it from build, e.g.:
compile ('org.roboguice:roboguice:2.0') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}
I had to try multiple module labels till it worked. Excluding "support-v4" solves issues related to "java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/*"
My understanding is that there are duplicate references to the same API (Likely different version numbers). It should be reasonably easy to debug when building from the command line.
Try ./gradlew yourBuildVariantName --debug from the command line.
The offending item will be the first failure. An example might look like:
14:32:29.171 [INFO] [org.gradle.api.Task] INPUT: /Users/mydir/Documents/androidApp/BaseApp/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/theOffendingAAR/libs/google-play-services.jar
14:32:29.171 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteAtMostOnceTaskExecuter] Finished executing task ':BaseApp:packageAllyourBuildVariantNameClassesForMultiDex'
14:32:29.172 [LIFECYCLE] [class org.gradle.TaskExecutionLogger] :BaseApp:packageAllyourBuildVariantNameClassesForMultiDex FAILED'
In the case above, the aar file that I'd included in my libs directory (theOffendingAAR) included the Google Play Services jar (yes the whole thing. yes I know.) file whilst my BaseApp build file utilised location services:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:6.5.87'
You can safely remove the offending item from your build file(s), clean and rebuild (repeat if necessary).
check your dependencies versions, you must have compatible versions put attention specially to com.google packages, must have same version like:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0'
Both are 8.3.0, if you have another version compilation will throw that exception.
Simple Remove Your Jar file from dependencies gardle.project as v7
and run your project
For Expose.class Error i.e
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/gson/annotations/Expose.class
use the below code
configurations {
all*.exclude module: 'gson'
}
find out the lib depends on the support v4, and exclude it.
code in build.gradle is like this:
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.1') {
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/30931887/5210
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7'
}
In my situation, the lib 'espresso' has a jar called support-v4 and in my project 'app' have the same support-v4, exclude the support-v4 when import espresso.
PS: it seems compile project can not work with the exclude
This is because you have added a library and given its dependency on a module more than once.
In my case, I had added a library as a module and as a gradle dependency both.
Removing one source of adding library (I removed gradle dependency) solved my problem.
For Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug' com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException java.util.zip.ZipException duplicate entry com/google/gson/annotations/Expose.class
Here is what I did:
1) Delete the gson-2.5.jar file.
2) configurations { all*.exclude module: 'gson-2.5' }
I have faced this issue as i have manually copied the jar in libs as well as mentioned the dependency in gradle file. You also check in your project structure, whether the same jar file is copied in any other folder like libs or in project folder.
I had the same problem after upgrading the android SDK. I was able to run the application in the buildToolsVersion '23.0.1', I got the same error when I changed to buildToolsVersion '24.0.3'
I resolved the problem by updating my java version from 1.7 to 1.8 with compileSdkVersion 24
This problem cost me one whole day. I finally downgraded the firebase-ui library version from 2.0.0 to 1.2.0 and added the following code inside Project level build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
// Add the following code to your project level build.gradle
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
}
}
I also have the issue because of i have compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0-alpha1' but i added recyclerview liberary compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.0.2'..i changed the version as same as compat like (24.0.2 intead of 24.0.0).
i got the answer..may be it will help for someone.
In my case the mentioned "duplicate entry" error arised after settingmultiDexEnable=true in the build.gradle.
and exact error which i was getting was below :
Error:Execution failed for task
':android:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry:
com/google/android/gms/internal/zzqx.class
So first thing I search for class which causes "duplicate entry" error using ctrl+n in Android Studio and searched for com/google/android/gms/internal/zzqx.class and then it was showing 2 entries for gms class with one version 8.4.0 and 1 with version 11.6.0 .
To fix it i made both to use 11.6.0 and it was fixed example
earlier
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.4.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.6.0"
After
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.6.0"
Rebuilding Fixed .
In my case exact error was below
':android:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/android/gms/internal/zzqx.class
I was using another version of google apis i.e. in one modules gradle file
if (!project.hasProperty('gms_library_version')) {
ext.gms_library_version = '8.6.0'
}
however in other modules version 11.6.0 as below
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.0"
However to find this i did a ctrl + n in android studio and entered class name zzqx.class and then it displayed 2 jar files being pulled for this class and then i understood that somewhere i am using version 8.6.0 . On changing 8.6.0 to 11.6.0 and rebuilding the project the issue was fixed .
Hope this helps .

For me something similar happened when I had accidently added
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
to my android library module. Removing the line fixes the issue.
I tried all the above solutions but not working for me. I tried update libraries by goto project structure > app. And it works for me! Hope this answer helpful to someone.
Try this:
android {
configurations {
all*.exclude module: 'PhotoView' //去除重复依赖库
}
}
I've following dependency added in build.gradle file.
compile 'com.aerisweather:aeris-maps-lib:2.0.0#aar'
It is from
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/comaerisweather-1027/com/aerisweather/aeris-maps-lib/2.0.0/
If you the see artifacts from following URL, It has android support v7 library classes.
https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick~aerisweather
I want to exclude that package when running/packaging the application. I'm unable to run/package the app due to duplicate class error.
I've tried adding configurations like this,
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
But this excludes it from entire project which leads me to many errors.
I've tried everything but still getting following error.
Error:Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v7/appcompat/R$anim.class
This library has also as dependency support-v4 and mediarouter-v7.
You need to exclude them all from aeris-maps-lib and include as your own dependency.
def supportLibraryVersion = '25.0.1'
dependencies {
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:${supportLibraryVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:support-annotations:${supportLibraryVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${supportLibraryVersion}"
//... other deps
compile ('com.aerisweather:aeris-maps-lib:2.0.0#aar', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'mediarouter-v7'
})
}
PS.
aeris-maps-lib has also com.google.android.gms:play-services dependency, which is the whole Play Services package (it's large) and you will need to enable MultiDex or shrink code with proguard.
not a direct answer, but an advice.
The exclusion feature provided by gradle (exclude method invocation) doesn't work for contents inside local aar files as those contents aren't defined by dependency management and hence aren't recognised by the same.
As far as the dependency resolution is concerned, the aar file is an individual unit (including all the resources/classes within). So the file needs to be built in a way which doesn't include those entries; Or if the file is not built by you, you can unpack and omit the files in question and repack.
While there may be hackish ways to drop certain files using gradle (I couldn't find any reliable one yet), where we could possibly hook into some intermediate build steps and get rid of the files; but the generally advised best practise is to avoid packaging publicly available dependencies into the aar/jar to avoid duplicate entry issues and keep the aar/jar size smaller.
I have a project named MyProject.
It includes 2 library projects abc.aar and xyz.aar.
These both library projects uses and have one common jar dummy.jar (package name: com.example.dummy).
When I include both library projects, it gives me
android java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry com/example/dummy/DummyClass$1.class
I have tried following things -
configurations {
// to avoid double inclusion
all*.exclude group: 'com.example.dummy'
}
and this too
compile (name:'abc', ext:'aar'){
transitive = false
exclude module: 'libs/dummy*.jar'
exclude group: 'com.example.dummy'
exclude module: 'com.example.dummy'
}
Please suggest to avoid double inclusion of dependency jar because of multiple dependency library project using same jar.
My both library projects are not on any repositories.
