Android DuplicateFileException when using RealmSearchView

Question

I am trying to implement RealmSearchView ( link here ). But the issue is, when I add it to my dependencies I get the following error:

    Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformNative_libsWithMergeJniLibsForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK lib/x86/librealm-jni.so
    File1: C:\Users\Username\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\io.realm\realm-android\0.82.2\c6325383149a08e5cb668bdc4d3c790708636e47\realm-android-0.82.2.jar
    File2: D:\MyApp\AppName\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\io.realm\realm-android-library\2.2.1\jni

My dependencies look like:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.8.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1'
    compile 'com.github.thorbenprimke:realm-searchview:0.9.1' 
    compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.4.0'
    annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.4.0'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

To add Realm I followed their tutorial ( here ), and I also followed the RealmSearchView tutorial ( here ) to add that. But they seem to be conflicting?

How can I include both within the project, but without these duplicate files being created?

EDIT: This is what I have added to get it to run:

packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/librealm-jni.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/librealm-jni.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/librealm-jni.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/mips/librealm-jni.so'
    }

However, now I get this error (is it now using the wrong Realm version?)

E/UncaughtException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method init(Landroid/content/Context;)V in class Lio/realm/Realm; or its super classes (declaration of 'io.realm.Realm' appears in /data/data/uk.tether.topcom.tether/files/instant-run/dex/slice-realm-android-0.82.2_f252e1b50f018c2840011d6a94a195daa3c99f49-classes.dex)

Which breaks the 'init' method call here:

public void intialiseRealmDatabase(Context context){
        Realm.init(context);
    }

EDIT 2: Turns out the RealmSearchView version used in the the Realm search controller tutorial ( here ) is out of date. It should be version 0.9.6!

Answer 1

Your dependency to compile 'com.github.thorbenprimke:realm-searchview:0.9.1' references Realm version 0.82.2, while you also include Realm 2.1.

You should drop the dependency to realm-searchview because it is out of date, or you'll need to copy the repository and update it yourself and manually add it to your project.

Or just update it to a newer version, if it supports the latest Realm versions.

Answer 2

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'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/librealm-jni.so'

    }

use this line in your gradle file will help you.
