错误：在Android中使用两个库项目时，已经定义了属性“***”

Question

I'm using android-support-v7-appcompat as a library in my Android project. Now I want to include actionbarsherlock as another library project. When I add the second library, it gives so many errors like below

android-support-v7-appcompat\res\values\attrs.xml:476: error: Attribute "attributeName" has already been defined

By changing one attribute value and it's related code snippet is a one solution that I've tried. But when there are nearly 80 lines like above, it will get a messy. Is there any other way I can solve this issue?

Answer 1

The correct way to solve this problem is by updating Android Support Libraries in all relevant projects and library projects. In my case I've used Android support library and also one of the library project to implement my application. When I update both libraries, the problem solved. The way of updating Android support library is;

• Right click on the project
• Select Android Tools from the pop up window
• Select Add Support Library

从Properties => Android中删除appcompact支持库项目

Answer 3

Gradle Resource Merger merges all resource folders from all dependencies and place into single folder. In case there are duplicates build process will fail.

Fortunately, if you look below under Output: label, you will find the right path to the problem.

Here is an example

in your case it is android-support-v7-appcompat\\res\\values\\attrs.xml:476: error: Attribute "attributeName" has already been defined

You can also build your project from command line and get the right path. attributeName Inside values\\attrs.xml file on line 476 you would find a with property named "attributeName". Most probably it is your own styleable that you have to change to get rid of the duplicate.

So now, when you know the reason, you can locate that property in your project module and replace it with different name.

我通过从项目中删除appcompact并将样式更改为来解决了这个问题

<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock">
