Program type already present for ListenableFuture when adding Android WorkManager

Question

When adding WorkManager to my app, I'm getting the following build error.

Program type already present: com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture

I have used the pre-androidx version as mentioned on Pre-AndroidX Dependencies

def work_version = "1.0.1"
implementation "android.arch.work:work-runtime:$work_version"

I tried checking the gradle my_app:dependencies to get the dependency tree too. I couldn't find what library is causing the collision.

How to resolve this?

Answer 1

I solved it by adding the guava library as a whole to the project.

def work_version = "1.0.1"
implementation "android.arch.work:work-runtime:$work_version"
implementation("com.google.guava:guava:29.0-jre")
