multiple dex files define landroid/support/annotation/AnimRes

Question

The moment I added the android support annotations to my dependencies

compile \'com.android.support:support-annotations:20.0.0\'

I got this erro

Answer 1

The problem is that android-support-annotations.jar used to be a separate library containing the android annotations, but for some reason these annotations are already included in recent versions of the android-support-v4.jar file.

Deleting the annotations jar solved the issue.
