Android Gradle Plugin 0.7.0: "Duplicate Files During Packaging of Apk"

Android Gradle plugin 0.7.0: duplicate files during packaging of APK

As of Android Studio version 0.8.14

You should add:

 android {
     packagingOptions { 
         exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
         exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
         exclude '...'
     }
 }  

to your build.gradle file.

History:

According to comment 14 in this bug: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36982149#comment14 this is a bug in v0.7.0 of the Android Gradle plugin, and is due to be fixed soon in 0.7.1.

Here are the notes from that bug about the addition for 0.7.1:

0.7.1 is out with the fix for this.

The DSL to exclude files is:

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
    }
}

You can add as many exclude statement as you want. The value is the archive path. No wildcard or glob support yet.

Filenames "LICENSE.txt" and "NOTICE.txt" are case sensitive. Please try out with "license.txt" and "notice.txt" as well.

Error : Gradle: Duplicate files during packaging of APK

Add below lines in the packagingOptions and dependencies.

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
    exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
}

And in dependencies use as below.

dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-core:4.48'
compile 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-android:4.48'
compile 'org.springframework.android:spring-android-rest-template:1.0.1.RELEASE'
compile('org.springframework.android:spring-android-auth:1.0.1.RELEASE') {
    exclude module: 'spring-core'
}
compile 'org.springframework.android:spring-android-core:1.0.1.RELEASE'
compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-io:1.3.2'
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.3'
compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.7.2'
compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.7.2'
compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.7.2'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.2'
}

I think this will solve your issues.

Why this error happen Duplicate files during packaging of APK?How to fix this error?

Replace your gradle with this

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "your_package_name"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
   packagingOptions {
      exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
      exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
      exclude 'META-INF/LICENCE'
      }
     }

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    <!--Jar's Goes Here-->
}

Still getting the error means replace packagingOptions

 packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    }

Error :: duplicate files during packaging of APK

I think the string comparison is case sensitive. try with exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'

duplicate files during packaging

Just add packagingOptions { exclude 'builddef.lst' } to your gradle file - it should be enough.

Full version:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "*******"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'builddef.lst'
    }
}
