Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat

Question

If I run gradle assembleDebug from the command line, I am suddenly getting this error:

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dx.util.DexEx         


        

Answer 1

Got it working for a compile file('...') conflict by increasing minSdkVersion to 21 and enabling multidex. Not sure if that is the best solution but the only way I could get it working in my case.

Note: for compile file('...') it appears that you cannot put in an exclude clause so that option was not available.
