升级到最新的 Android Gradle 插件 AndoidX 后出现 Gradle 错误

Question

After upgrading to the latest AndroidX libs & Android Gradle Plugin, when I run lint on my project, the lint build failed.

It all started with the latest Android Gradle Plugin complaining that Program type already present:com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture when building my project

Below are the errors:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I tried putting the following but it doesn't work:

subprojects {
    project.configurations.all {

        exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'failureaccess'


        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
            if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
                    && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
                details.useVersion "26.1.0"
            }

            if('guava' == details.requested.name) {
                details.useVersion '27.0-android'
            }

        }
    }
}

May I know what the errors mean and how can I solve it? Thanks.

Answer 1

Check that you don't have duplicated dependencies for variants. For instance:

implementation 'com.google.truth:truth:0.42' 
...
androidTestImplementation 'com.google.truth:truth:0.42' 

Answer 2

I was also trying to solve this, for me it's due to the new Google places library:

implementation "com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0"

which was causing tests under androidTest to fail.

As a workaround, I added this to build.gradle :

configurations {
    androidTestImplementation.exclude module: 'guava'
    androidTestImplementation.exclude module: 'error_prone_annotations'
    androidTestImplementation.exclude module: 'checker-qual'
}

which fixes both lint and Android tests. Not sure of the consequences yet though.

edit: In your case you might have to put checker-compat-qual instead of checker-qual

Answer 3

change

details.useVersion '27.0-android'

to

details.useVersion '23.6-android'

Because of error message Could not resolve com.google.guava:guava:23.6-android. tells it requires version 23.6-android

Answer 4

Put this on Build.gradle in app module

lintOptions {
    checkReleaseBuilds false
    abortOnError false
}
