Question

I am trying to use WorkManager 1.0.0-alpha09. and getting this error:

Program type already present: 
com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture

Message{kind=ERROR, text=Program type already present: 
com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture, sources=[Unknown source 
file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}

If i use version 1.0.0-alpha08 or less. I don't get this error, but i need public constructor

public Worker(Context context, WorkerParameters workerParams)

In my case, I had to add the following configurations to app's module build.gradle:

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'listenablefuture'
}

It happens because some dependencies use com.google.guava:guava and com.google.guava:listenablefuture together. It causes a dependency conflict.

In which build.gradle did you put this? Just in the root or any sub item? – Gillis Haasnoot Jan 02 '19 at 10:53
@GillisHaasnoot put it in app's module. – Anggrayudi H Jan 02 '19 at 11:21

just to provide more detail about the location: it's in the app's `build.gradle` and configurations should be at the `same level` as android{} and dependencies{} are. – fangzhzh Apr 17 '19 at 03:32
@AyejuniIlemobayoKings where to place above config in `app/build.gradle` ? under `android` ? – questionasker Sep 03 '19 at 14:41
@AyejuniIlemobayoKings inside `app/build.gradle` and outside `android` block. – Anggrayudi H Sep 03 '19 at 16:53
thank you worked for me just add in ```app > build.gradle inside ``` ``` android {}``` – yubaraj poudel May 12 '21 at 16:21

Take a look at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/116154359.

The workaround is:

implementation("android.arch.work:work-runtime:1.0.0-alpha09") {
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'listenablefuture' 
}

Try cleaning Android Studio's cache. Select 'File > Invalidate Caches / Restart' and then click the 'Invalidate and Restart' button. Clean and rebuild your project. – pfmaggi Sep 29 '18 at 11:02
@Rahul May I know, is there any side-effect of doing so? Will it pick a wrong version of listenablefuture library from other dependencies? – Cheok Yan Cheng Dec 27 '18 at 19:44
No, the interfaces are identical. There is no side-effect. – Rahul Dec 28 '18 at 20:16

I merely added implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android' at the end of my app gradle file and the error went away.

I am using ListenableFuture that comes from the work manager.

implementation("android.arch.work:work-runtime:1.0.0")

So excluding exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'listenablefuture', didn't work for me.

I was using a dependency that internally used androidTestImplementation "com.google.truth:truth:42" that internally used com.google.guava:guava:25.0.1-android. This was causing the problem for me.

Upgrading com.google.truth:truth to 43 solved it for me.
