internal dependency conflict appears when compiling google-cloud-pubsub #1319
Description
Activity
@kir-titievsky I'll try to have a look at this. First and second errors appear to be unrelated though. Also please, be aware that we do not explicitly support Android at the moment.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/LICENSE
This kind of duplication errors seems to be quite common in Android. To avoid duplication you could try adding to your build file:
packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' }
Hi,
Just want to update it with the recent gradle configuration:
Gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-pubsub', version: '0.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'}
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '24.0.3'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.debi.pubsub0"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.0' } packagingOptions { pickFirst 'META-INF/LICENSE' pickFirst 'META-INF/io.netty.versions.properties' pickFirst 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST' } /*packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/io.netty.versions.properties' exclude 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST' }*/}

Error:trouble processing "javax/transaction/HeuristicCommitException.class":
Error:Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*)
Error:when not building a core library.
Error:This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file
Error:in your application's project, when using an IDE (such as
Error:Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a
Error:core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's
Error:going on.
Error:However, you might actually be trying to define a class in a core
Error:namespace, the source of which you may have taken, for example,
Error:from a non-Android virtual machine project. This will most
Error:assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the
Error:compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform.
Error:It is also often of questionable legality.
Error:If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only
Error:appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine
Error:distribution, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use
Error:the "--core-library" option to suppress this error message.
Error:If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact
Error:building an application, then be forewarned that your application
Error:will still fail to build or run, at some point. Please be
Error:prepared for angry customers who find, for example, that your
Error:application ceases to function once they upgrade their operating
Error:system. You will be to blame for this problem.
Error:If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a
Error:core package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to
Error:repackage that code. That is, move the classes in question into
Error:your own package namespace. This means that they will never be in
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
Error:that is an indication that the path you are on will ultimately
Error:lead to pain, suffering, grief, and lamentation.
Error:1 error; abortingInformation:BUILD FAILED
Some warnings have been suppressed using 'pickFirst' or 'exclude' methods, but it doesn't seem to go beyond that. The problem disappears only if "compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-pubsub', version: '0.4.0'" gets removed from dependencies(other libraries work fine).
Thanks.

try replacing:compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-pubsub', version: '0.4.0'
with:
compile ('com.google.cloud:google-cloud-pubsub:0.4.0') { exclude group: 'com.google.api-client', module: 'google-api-client-appengine' }
This should exclude the dependency that is causing troubles.
Could you please format your previous posts? Also please don't cut-and-paste these long logs but rather attach a public gist to your post.
Are you excluding other artifacts in addition to the one I suggested you to exclude?
I am sorry :)))
Here is the output2 from adding the 3rd line of the code to MainActivity:
PubSubOptions.Builder optionsBuilder = PubSubOptions.builder();
optionsBuilder.projectId("project-id");
PubSub pubsub = optionsBuilder.build().service();https://gist.github.com/jfarkhat/3fcdce92eba2a918ef6163c89a3f9913
I excluded 'group: 'com.google.api-client', module: 'google-api-client-appengine'
Hi,
Compile group: 'com.google.api-client', name: 'google-api-client', version: '1.21.0' didn't work(the same errors). But the issue is no longer a problem and I found much simpler solution to it. Thanks )Reacted by Ahmad Gerashi and Oleksandr Kachur- added 2 commits that reference this issue

Reposting this submission to cloud-pubsub-discuss@googlegroups.com as a bug:
The cloud pubsub library is not working with Android Studio 2.2.1 (Build #AI-145.3330264, built on October 6, 2016, JRE: 1.8.0_76-release-b03 amd64, JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o) under Debian (3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.81-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux).
I added [compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-pubsub', version: '0.4.0'] to gradle file, but it states the following: "Execution failed for task ':app:prepareDebugAndroidTestDependencies'.>Dependency Error. See console for details."
I checked the console and the output shows the following: "Conflict with dependency 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305'. Resolved versions for app (3.0.0) and test app (2.0.1) differ. See http://g.co/androidstudio/app-test-app-conflict for details.".
I tried to solve it by adding the following line to the android{} section of gradle file: "configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.0' }", but it resulted in the following output in console(see below):
"Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug'.
Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output. "
What should I do?
