Duplicate classes from androidx and com.android.support
AndroidAndroid StudioAndroid Gradle-PluginLibrariesAndroidxAndroid Problem Overview
I recently updated my Android Studio (and I'm pretty sure the Gradle version), and now I've been getting a bunch of errors when trying to compile my project. Here's the one that is plaguing me at the moment:
Duplicate class android.support.v4.app.INotificationSideChannel found in modules classes.jar (androidx.core:core:1.0.1) and classes.jar (com.android.support:support-compat:26.1.0)
This is followed by lots of similar ones.
I tried removing all uses of com.android.support
in favor of androidx (see here for what I was using the replace things), but com.android.support
libraries are still being used, even when I delete the libraries (they're just remade once I try to compile again).
Here's a link to the full error I get.
Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
Add these lines to your gradle.properties
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
If gradle.properties
is absent, create the file in the root directory of your project.
It looks like you have some support
relics anywhere in your dependencies, maybe from a lib? To investigate and see the dependencies tree, please run:
./gradlew :yourApp:dependencies
and then you see from where it comes.
Solution 2 - Android
In your app build.gradle
you are using a mix of old support library and new support library artifacts. Remove one of them from your build.gradle
to resolve this issue.
Old artifact: com.android.support:support-compat
Corresponding new artifact: androidx.core:core:1.0.0
See this page for more information on migrating to AndroidX.
Solution 3 - Android
Like others says, the solution is to migrating to AndroidX, it works for me. However, it isn´t an easy way and it requires a bit of pacience... These are the steps that I did:
-
First, is very important that you do all this changes in a different branch or you make a backup of your project.
-
You need to have the Android Gradle Plugin Version 3.5.1. So, in build.gradle set:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.1'
}
-
Migrate to AndroidX using Android Studio Tool : Refactor --> Migrate to AndroidX...
-
When it finishes, it has done all pertinents modification, but posibly you can´t deploy the project correctly because you find any errors. These are the problems that I found and the solutions:
-
If you use Kotlin, in build.gradle set:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.10'
}
and
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
- If you use destination method, add "file" parameter:
destination file("$reportsDir/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml")
- If you use Butterknife, use 10.0.0 version
- Finally, Build --> Clean Project and Build --> Rebuild Project
Solution 4 - Android
This solution from here worked the best for me. Migrating to androidX
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate
> With Android Studio 3.2 and higher, you can migrate an existing
> project to AndroidX by selecting Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX from
> the menu bar.
>
> The refactor command makes use of two flags. By default, both of them
> are set to true in your gradle.properties file:
>
> android.useAndroidX=true
The Android plugin uses the appropriate
> AndroidX library instead of a Support Library.
> android.enableJetifier=true The Android plugin automatically migrates
> existing third-party libraries to use AndroidX by rewriting their
> binaries.
Solution 5 - Android
If you face any issue regarding duplicate classes after using Facebook mediation and google ad libraries so follow these steps:
1- Add this in build.gradle(Module) in Top
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
2- Add this in build.gradle(Module) -> android
packagingOptions {
exclude "META-INF/DEPENDENCIES"
}
3- Add this in build.gradle(Module) -> dependencies
//firebase bom
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:29.2.0')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:23.0.1'
//ADS
def ads_version = "20.6.0"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:$ads_version"
//facebook ads
implementation 'com.google.ads.mediation:facebook:6.8.0.0'
4- Add this in build.gradle(Project )-> buildscript-> dependencies
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'
classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.8.1'
5- Add this in gradle.wrapper.propertise
