Gradle exclude classes from aar

Question

Im using lib Gson in my dependecies and im import a.aar with some classes from Gson that are imported to a project. When i build my project i keep getting duplicated classes, bcz its on my dependency and aar classes.

How i can exclude gson classes from aar?

I have been trying with:

• exclude group: I think this is not work since is not a dependency from aar, but classes inside.
• transitive true, same reason as before

Can i do it? or should i get other.aar with gson as dependecy?

Answer 1

Usually.aar includes with.pom file which includes all dependency of "aar library" use.

If you are creating own library and use it in another application follow refer the link below. https://medium.com/swlh/android-library-kotlin-creation-access-deploy-problems-fixes-everything-you-want-to-c1a1701f0e8f

Or

Try this following

implementation(name: '××××××× aar package', ext: 'aar') {
    exclude module: 'gson'
}

Let me know if this helpfull
