Error :: duplicate files during packaging of APK
AndroidAndroid Gradle-PluginAndroid Problem Overview
Android Studio. I'm getting this kind of error during application run.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'. Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/notice.txt
build.gradle
apply plugin: 'android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
}
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.1'
compile 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-android:4.48'
compile 'org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-core-asl:1.9.13'
compile 'org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl:1.9.13'
compile 'com.octo.android.robospice:robospice:1.4.11'
compile 'com.octo.android.robospice:robospice-spring-android:1.4.11'
}
How can I fix this error?
EDITED
These exclude options solved my problem:
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
}

I think the string comparison is case sensitive. try with exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
Solution 2 - Android
I think you need to include only these options in build.gradle:
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
}
Solution 3 - Android
Short Answer:
See the detailed gradle output using gradle assemble
and
note the files that are duplicate and exclude them using:
android {
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
}
}
Long Answer:
Run the assemble
gradle task from command line for detailed output:
This automatically shows what to exclude:

You can ignore those files in your build.gradle:
android {
packagingOptions {
exclude 'LICENSE'
}
}

See this part in output:
android {
packagingOptions {
exclude 'LICENSE'
}
}
It even shows the list of dependencies which originated duplicate files (LICENSE). See the lines with Origin # in the output.
Solution 4 - Android
Add this in your build.gradle file ...
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' // will not include NOTICE file
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' // will not include LICENSE file
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES' // will not include LICENSE file
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
}
like this...
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "your package name"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 30
versionName "3.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' // will not include NOTICE file
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' // will not include LICENSE file
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES' // will not include LICENSE file
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
}
}
Solution 5 - Android
It's more than one error, you are right.
Under apply plugin: 'android-library'
add this ::
android {
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
}
}
1st error is by file duplicates, 2nd is by LICENSE and NOTICE files. It will work after
EDIT:: See my post here about identifying the problems:: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20673625/android-gradle-plugin-0-7-0-duplicate-files-during-packaging-of-apk/29996374#29996374
Solution 6 - Android
this works for me
android {
...
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
}
}
Solution 7 - Android
Interestingly, when I deleted this line from gradle, it worked:
compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.3.1'
Solution 8 - Android
I had to play around a bit to find the right location for the packagingOptions. Solving the duplicate file problem for a conflict between jackson-core:2.2.2 and jackson-databind:2.2.2 Also the DSL seems to have changed recently So in the recent Android Studio 1.4.1 with buildTools 23 you have to put android.packaging options on the same level as compileOptions AND NOT inside any model { android { braces !
model {
android {
compileSdkVersion = 21
buildToolsVersion = "23.0.1"
defaultConfig.with {
applicationId = "com.android.sensorgraph"
minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 21
targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 22
}
}
android.packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
}
compileOptions.with {
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}
