Runtime error in my android app

Question

whenever I want to wrapp some data in a jackson object mapper, I got a runtime error with following message:

07-07 17:44:59.049 19642-20156/com.app.teamchannel E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: SyncAdapterThread-1 java.lang.VerifyError: org/codehaus/jackson/map/ObjectMapper

First time I encountered this error was after I included google analytics in gradle like:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.4.0'

Can anyone help please? I've already spent couple of hours with no solution until now.

Complete exception:

please add the complete stacktrace (from logcat) to your question — petey, Jul 07 '16 at 15:53
there are explanations how those problems are caused but no clear solution to solve them. What should I do? — Johannes N, Jul 07 '16 at 16:01
ty for the stacktrace! can you also post the your complete `dependencies {...}` that is in your gradle file — petey, Jul 07 '16 at 17:57

Finally I found a solution. There was obviously a package name collision, what lead to take the wrong classes during runtime.

What I did:

I downloaded both jars manually

jackson-core-asl-1.9.3
jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.13

and changed the package name from org.codehaus.jackson.** to custom.org.codehaus.jackson.@1 for both libraries. To change the package name I used a tool called JarJar.

You can find instructions how to repackage here.

After that I put the repackaged jars into libs folder which you find in app folder (Android Studio: project view). Following code must be included in the build.gradle on app-level in the dependencies:

compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

So gradle also compiles jars in the lib folder.
