Answer 1

I had same problem with my Gradle project. So far i didn't find any way to remove duplicate .class files from jar dependency inside app/gradle. So what i did :

• Extract .jar library
• Removed duplicate .class files
• Packed again into .jar
• Clean (Make project if required) and it worked.
