How to resolve Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/rxjava.properties

Question

I am using rxjava and rxvolley on my android aplication. When I try to run it I get this error

Execution failed for task \':testapp:transformResourcesWithMer         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue.
In my case I am using Retrofit2 but I assume that the issue is with the rx libraries

This is the build.gradle (module:app) I am using and in my case works.

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.0.2'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.0.2'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:adapter-rxjava:2.0.2'

compile 'io.reactivex:rxandroid:1.1.0' //<-use this
compile 'io.reactivex:rxjava:1.1.3'    //<-use this

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.1.2'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.0.1'

Anyway there is one better solution as you can see on the top
