Android Eclipse多个Dex文件错误

Question

I have been getting this error when trying to launch my android project, it didn't happen before, and started to happen randomly. I didn't even update anything between when it was working and now. The error is:

[2013-01-24 18:06:28 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/opendatakit/sensors/AbstractSensorDriverDiscovery;
[2013-01-24 18:06:28 - opendatakit.sensors] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/opendatakit/sensors/AbstractSensorDriverDiscovery;

I know people have experienced this problem before, but most of the issues I have seen were from over a year ago, typically dealing with ADT r14. I am using Eclipse 4.3.0 with ADT r17. I have not seen anyone dealing with these problems with these versions. Has this been solved by anyone?

The other solutions I have seen, in posts like Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/myapp/R$array; , have not been of any use to me.

If anyone has any advice on the subject I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

I ended up finding the error to this problem after much heartache. For some reason, a global folder had been included in my project and was being built into my project each time. This folder contained the same jar that I had in my libs folder and that was causing a conflict.

If anyone else has this problem, ensure you only have one jar file in the project.
