Gradle sync Error in Android Studio 2.2.2

Question

I am working on a project for a client. The project seems to work fine in the old Android Studio, but ever since I updated my studio to 2.2.2, I am getting the sync error when trying to run the app, the error message is as posted below.

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/LICENSE

Add following into respective build.gradle file

  android {
 packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/MANIFEST.MF'
}
}

You might also want to check if you have 2 references of the same library or .jar included and remove the duplicate reference.

Guess you are using dependency which is conflicting with androids supplied jars. Add

compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') {
   exclude module: 'httpclient'
   exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
}

in your gradle.

You are using two many libraries files for http call instead use jar file on libs or add some dependency in gradle.

The error went when I downloaded the project zip file again and run it. But this time when Android Studio asked me to update the gradle file, I denied. I dont know if this explains the error, but now the project is running fine on any device I connect.
