Cannot import a Library from GitHub into Android Studio

Question

I tried to add this library: https://github.com/WojciechZankowski/iextrading4j into android studio, it is a library to retrieve realtime stock data from the IEXTrading API but when I did, or atleast I think I imported it the right way, I got a bunch of errors like MultiDex errors and findbugs:jsr305:1.3.9.

I tried to use the release version 2.1.1, then 2.0.1. Can someone please walk me through the process of how to set it up?

Error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.

java.io.IOException: Can't write [C:\Users\Ashwin\AndroidStudioProjects\sockettesting\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:\Users\USER\AndroidStudioProjects\sockettesting\app\build\intermediates\transforms\desugar\debug\49.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [49.jar:javax/inject/Inject.class]))

I've tried searching for answers on how to solve these errors but I got nowhere, I tried multiDexEnable true in gradle and more.

If you shared how is it that you added the library…? Did you try Invalidate Cache / Restart in Android Studio? Did you restart Android Studio? What did you do? We can’t tell. Not from your text. — Martin Marconcini, Apr 20 '18 at 00:08
I found this library on Jcenter and then used its gradle dependency, and when I put the code given from the creator to test it, android studio gave me those errors — killpwnrang3, Apr 20 '18 at 00:34

Did you try clean and rebuild, It is father of these type issues. :) — Khemraj Sharma, Apr 20 '18 at 01:40
Also 1 important thing to check, if it is eclipse project then you should use file>new>import or if this is a android studio project you should just use file>open — Khemraj Sharma, Apr 20 '18 at 01:42

I had a similar problem. I could not get the iextrading4j library to work either, even in a blank project. I changed my dependencies entry to this...

implementation group: 'pl.zankowski', name: 'iextrading4j', version: '2.3.0', ext: 'pom'

Then it worked just fine!
