Not able to add kiteconnect.jar into Android application

RajeshDhalange · May 2018

I am trying to import kiteconnect.jar into the Android application but getting following error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.
> java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

Tried solutions
1. Enable multidex option

My App Gradle is as follow

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.stockanalysis"
        minSdkVersion 26
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

}

You can refer this.

javakiteconnect doesn't require multiDexEnabled: true. I hope you are doing this because of some other reason.

RajeshDhalange · May 2018

No @sujith enabling multDexEnable: true is just one of the try to resolve the problem, and your refer link also suggest to do multiDexEnable true but still problem exist

You can reproduce this issue with above gradle configuration.

sujith · May 2018

You don't need to make any changes to gradle file. You can just create a project include jar file inside the app/libs and then in the app/build.gradle inside the dependencies section add this
compile files('libs/kiteconnect.jar')

Tried this solution, it is not working when adding any single other libraries, not even Google's Gson lib.
Request you to compile kiteconnect lib with any other library like Retrofit and Gson lib.

check the following new sample

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.hourlybee.ksample"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
    compile files('libs/kiteconnect.jar')

    // implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.4.0'
    //  implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.4.0'
    // implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.2'
    //implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.6.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.1.1'
}

Here is my app/build.gradle file


apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {

    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.zerodha.kiteconnectexample"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
    compile files('libs/kiteconnect.jar')
}
