Android Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/services/

Question

I'm trying to create my own app on android but when I try to run the app i get the following error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/services/com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module

this error is driving me crazy, i did a lot of search but nothing works for me, most of the cases the guys suggest use the packagingOptions and exclude the META-INF i tried this one for example:

 packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/services'
    }

can you guys help me?

UPDATE

I add the TML suggestion and now i'm getting the following error

Error:when not building a core library.
Error:This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file

Error:However, you might actually be trying to define a class in a core

Error:If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact
Error:building an application, then be forewarned that your application

Error:If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a

Error:conflict with core system classes. JarJar is a tool that may help
Error:you in this endeavor. If you find that you cannot do this, then

This is now an entirely different problem. You should start a new question and accept an answer for this original one. — TWL, Aug 12 '16 at 06:52

I just had almost exactly the same problem.

adding this code, just like TML said, solved it for me:

android {

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/services/com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module'
    }

}

I just helped someone with a similar problem: Android Gradle Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF

Whenever you see Exception: Duplicate files copied in APK BLAH/blaha.blahb.blahc

add another exclude 'BLAH/blaha.blahb.blahc' to your packagingOptions

so in your case: exclude 'META-INF/services/com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module'

This exception may happen many times until you catch them all!

Use the following lines in your build.gradle file below buildTypes:

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' // will not include NOTICE file
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' // will not include LICENSE file
}

and also add in defaultConfig in same file

multiDexEnabled true
