How to solve DexArchiveBuilderException?

Question

My android application is showing the following error message while I'm trying to install it on real device.

com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process C:\Users\username.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\com.fasterxml.jackson.core\jackson-annotations\2.10.1\54d72475c0d6819f2d0e9a09d25c3ed876a4972f\jackson-annotations-2.10.1.jar

Initially it gives the same error when I was using Java 1.8 on my machine. Some solution says that java version is making complications with my project. Because my project is build using Java 1.7. So I uninstalled Java 1.8 and installed 1.7. Still same error is occuring. Please help me to solve this issue. Below I am mentioning my dependencies.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {

        androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

What are you trying to say? I need to change the Java version? — deluxan, Dec 17 '19 at 08:17
I tried with your code. This time I'm having different error `Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Type without superclass: module-info` — deluxan, Dec 17 '19 at 09:22
