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

Solved this exact issue in a Cordova project that used the facebook plugin. I was able to successfully build by commenting out this line from platforms\android\project.properties, as shown:

# cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:support-v4:+

And by commenting out this line from platforms\android\build.gradle, as shown:

// compile "com.android.support:support-v4:+"

Then doing the build. The problem started when I installed (katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications) which added these lines, but it created a conflict since the library it was adding to the build was already part of the facebook plugin build.
