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

If this is cordova / ionic project this worked for me

add these line to build.gradle under platforms/android after line number 22 i.e after apply plugin: 'android'

configurations {
   all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
