android : Error converting byte to dex

Question

So, I am getting the following error while running the project after upgrading build.gradle (Project) from

dependencies {
        classpath \'com.android.too         


        

Answer 1

If you have multiple projects, make sure you are not adding a dependency multiple times, I needed to exclude the other project's dependency like this:

compile(project(':OtherProject-SDK')) {
    compile.exclude module: 'play-services-gcm'
    compile.exclude module: 'play-services-location'
    compile.exclude module: 'support-v4'
    compile.exclude module: 'okhttp'
}
