How to remove a jar file from the external libraries directory, which is added by the gradle dependency, in android?

Question

First, I have added a dependency in gradle, and then sync the project. We have no error, but when we run the application, we got an error which is also showing in the image.

    :app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug FAILED
    Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: javax/inject/Inject.class

We found a duplicate jar file with different version which is highlighted above. Now I want to remove only this duplicate jar file(java.inject-1). Hope someone has a solution for this.

manually removing it is not the solution, next gradle sync it will be there again — Tim, May 31 '16 at 06:40
like this :- configurations { all*.exclude group: 'javax.inject-1', module: 'org.igniterealtime:rest-api-client' all*.exclude module: 'java.inject' } but this is also not working for me — Pankaj Gurjar, May 31 '16 at 06:48

please try below in your gradle dependency.

compile('org.igniterealtime:rest-api-client:1.1.3')
{exclude module: "javax.inject"}

You can close Android Studio, delete all the .idea folders and .iml files in your project and re-import.

Go to Project Structure > app> dependencies. at the right hand side you will see + and - select library which you want to delete and click on - button. – Pradeep Deshmukh May 31 '16 at 07:04

If you are using Android Studio Use Refactor. Just

Right Click the .jar file choose "Refactor > safe delete"

.

safe delete is a disabled option for my case. – Pankaj Gurjar May 31 '16 at 07:03
