Unable to build apk or run the app

Question

The gradle build completes successfully , but while running the application or trying to build the apk I am getting an error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'. java.io.IOException: Can't write [F:\\TravEz\\app\\build\\intermediates\\multi-dex\\debug\\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:\\Users\\hp.gradle\\caches\\transforms-1\\files-1.1\\support-core-ui-27.1.0.aar\\51b8cdc0bcfc98652d9ae95f70697b30\\jars\\classes.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [classes.jar:android/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout$Behavior.class]))

I have tried all the methods mentioned here

Here is my project level gradle file:

buildscript {

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'


    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io"}
    //Glomadrian maven for animated switch
    maven { url "https://dl.bintray.com/glomadrian/maven"}
    maven { url  "http://dl.bintray.com/lukaville/maven"}
}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Here is my app level gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Answer 1

implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

Is written twice, remove one of them.

implementation 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.6.+'

Replace the + with the current version of the library

Answer 2

The problem is because you have duplicated support library in your dependencies.

android-image-cropper is using support library 27+, you can check its build.gradle . MaterialEditText is using support library 22.2.0 . Material Animated Switch is using support library 22.2.0 . You need to exlude the support libraries from them.

So, instead using the following:

compile 'com.github.florent37:materialtextfield:1.0.7'
implementation 'com.github.glomadrian:MaterialAnimatedSwitch:1.1@aar'
implementation 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.6.+'

use the following:

implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:26.1.0'

implementation ('com.github.florent37:materialtextfield:1.0.7') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'
    exclude module: 'appcompat-v7'
    exclude module: 'support-annotations'
}

implementation ('com.github.glomadrian:MaterialAnimatedSwitch:1.1@aar') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'
    exclude module: 'appcompat-v7'
}

implementation ('com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.6.0') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'
    exclude module: 'appcompat-v7'
}

You can check the dependencies tree if you still found the conflicted libraries with:

./gradlew app:dependencies
