java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry during packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex

Question

I am not sure what this error means.

Execution failed for task ':excelSior:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'.
> java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/util/TimeUtils.class

I am currently using android-support-v4.jar for my libraries

dependencies {
    compile project(':addThisSDK')
    compile project(':centeredContentButton')
    compile project(':googleplayservices_lib')
    compile files('libs/adxtag2.4.6.jar')

    compile files('libs/kooaba-api-v4-java.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Error does not show up during gradle sync. Just when I try to run the application

What could be the problem?

The error comes when any other jar dependency of yours have same class, make sure you have not added support jar both as gradle and jar dependency. please include complete dependency closure in the question. — Piyush Agarwal, Nov 17 '14 at 07:09
@pyus13 thanks. I have updated the question. This is my whole dependency list — bman, Nov 17 '14 at 07:16
You have 3 module dependencies in your project, so make sure only one of all them have the support-v4 as dependency. — Piyush Agarwal, Nov 17 '14 at 09:21

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'
}

For Gson Exponse.class error use this `configurations { all*.exclude module: 'gson' }` – Laveen Balakrishna May 25 '16 at 09:40
Although this fixed that issue, it meant that any of my code that referenced the `support-v4` library could not resolve. So, use this with care because it's not an ideal solution, it just remove that library entirely from your library dependency compilation. – Joshua Pinter Mar 01 '17 at 15:06

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.

Stopped this specific error, but caused dozens of others. Sometimes you need those dependencies. As strange as this may sound, Sauron was right this time. – SMBiggs Feb 22 '17 at 04:48
you definitely need those dependencies. but my case if i inject those dependencies using lib (manual download), it ll be caused this issue. After that I add those dependencies using 'compile ' . I think most of the time, repeated library caused this issue. so you can exclude those lib. I hope this may helpful. – Paraneetharan Saravanaperumal Feb 22 '17 at 06:47

By adding your dependencies explicitly, one by one, you'll likely uncover a duplicate `.jar` library that you're including twice. Never use `compile fileTree(...)`, it hides too many obvious errors. – Joshua Pinter Mar 01 '17 at 15:07

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).

This doesnt help..on removing the offending library the module fails to compile — Utsav Gupta, Aug 03 '16 at 09:00

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.

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.

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"

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 .
