Answer 1

For those who are using Google Cloud Endpoints in Android app:

compile(project(path: ':backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')) {
    exclude(module: 'guava-jdk5')
}

Where backend is name of your module with AppEngine app.

In every other case just look for guava-jdk5 transitive dependency and exclude it.
