Android Build fail - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lcom/google/api/client/escape/CharEscapers;

Question

I just prepare small update for my android app, but I get this strange bug when I try to build my app (in debug mode). It will be great if someone smarter could look at this

Answer 1

I had same issue when I added android Ocr Api (tess-two) and imported sample application which was using this API but sample application and tess-two api had same packages thats why i was facing this issue, So I removed duplicate packages from my sample application and it was working fine.
