Duplicate entry using Parse and Multidex

Question

My project is a Chat app that uses Parse. After added other dependencies, this problem started appearing:

Error:Execution failed for task \':app:dexDe

Answer 1

Your com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.1.0 library is messing with parse as both use same bolts-android module internally and having a different version of this module. Try to exclude this module from any of parse or facebook gradle dependency.

compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.1.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.parse.bolts',
                module: 'bolts-android'
    }

I was having the same problem and When I run ./gradlew yourModuleName:dependencies by the terminal, I found exactly which two libraries are messing with each other having a different version of the same module internally.

Answer 2

try to change this:

compile('com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.parse.bolts',
                module: 'bolts-android'
    }

To this:

compile('com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0');

the bolds module is used sometimes to fix Duplicated dexLibs
