Exclude one class file in gradle Android Studio

Question

In my projects, I need to import third party jar file and Facebook SDK.

compile files(\'libs/SkinSDK.jar\')
compile \'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-         


        

Answer 1

Bumped into similar situation. This is what I did, not elegant as I hoped, but it works:

1. Rename the jar file (SkinSDK.jar in your case): .zip instead of .jar

2. Go "inside" the zip file (I'm using DoubleCommander, there are many other utilities for that), or extract it to a temporary folder.

3. Delete the duplicate class that causes the problem. Go "outside" the zip file.

4. Rename (or re-pack) the file from .zip to .jar . Compile.

Hope it works...
