I'm going through the tutorials for endpoints. I am trying to get this project to run but my Android studio is presenting a strange problem when I try to run the project.

The error is: 

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK com/google/appengine/repackaged/org/apache/commons/codec/language/bm/sep_approx_spanish.txt
    File1: C:\Users\alexa\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\com.google.appengine\appengine-endpoints\1.9.28\bf2e8a74bd28e388b3487fc78a0c7adfa592fd5d\appengine-endpoints-1.9.28.jar
    File2: C:\Users\alexa\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\com.google.appengine\appengine-api-1.0-sdk\1.9.28\e92c18272b555027d9ec666e7a89162f10638314\appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.9.28.jar

This is my gradle for the backend that is throwing the error:

// If you would like more information on the gradle-appengine-plugin please refer to the github page
// https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gradle-appengine-plugin

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.appengine:gradle-appengine-plugin:1.9.28'
    }
}

repositories {
    jcenter();
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'appengine'

sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7

dependencies {
  appengineSdk 'com.google.appengine:appengine-java-sdk:1.9.28'
    compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints:1.9.28'
    compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints-deps:1.9.28'
    compile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
}

appengine {
  downloadSdk = true
  appcfg {
    oauth2 = true
  }
  endpoints {
    getClientLibsOnBuild = true
    getDiscoveryDocsOnBuild = true
  }
}

I have tried this stackoverflow's accepted answer but it did not work for me. Namely, I tried the following variations in my gradle:

compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints:1.9.28'{
        exclude "sep_approx_spanish.txt"
    }
 compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints-deps:1.9.28

compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints:1.9.28'
compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints-deps:1.9.28{
        exclude "sep_approx_spanish.txt"
    }

but when I sync it, I get this error: 

Error:(27, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'com.google.appengine:appengine-endpoints-deps:1.9.28()'
Possible causes:<ul><li>The project 'BackendAPITest' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.

These photos show my attempts at it.

Does any one know a good fix to this? I followed the tutorial exactly but I keep getting this problem. All my SDK's are up to date along with my IDE. My java is on the latest version. Help?

In my case the problem was in build.gradle on the CLIENT side (app). I had two compile dependencies referring to the backend, like this:

compile project(path: ':gst-backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
compile project(path: ':gst-backend')

Realized I just needed to reinstall everything and start a fresh project.
