Gradle Exclude or add reference for JAR file hard included inside library classes.jar

Question

I\'m running into some trouble with a library I included into my project: At the beginning it was just a conflicting dependencies issue that I resolved by excluding

Answer 1

At Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat it easy as exclude module: 'support-v4'

example

dependencies {
    compile('com.commonsware.cwac:camera-v9:0.5.4') {
      exclude module: 'support-v4'
    }

    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'
}

Answer 2

Try to use resolutionStrategy (API reference) at root build.gradle.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    configurations.all((Closure) {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.2' // your version of support library
        }
    })

}
