Android Studio Pre Dexing not working

Question

I am trying to switch from Intellij Idea 12 to Android Studio 0.2.1. Currently, my Android project is configured using the maven-android-plugin. I use actionbarsherlock as an apklib dependency.

When I try to create a project with Android Studio, it does not work at the stage of preliminary depilation using

Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] trouble processing "javax/xml/namespace/QName.class": Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*) Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] when not building a core library. Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] in your application project, when using an IDE (such as Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's Error:Android Pre Dex: [xpp3-1.1.4c.jar] going on. 

However, the only dependency on xpp3 is on actionbarsherlock, and if you look at the structure of the project, you will see that it has a “provided” area. So, in my opinion, this should not be pre-decoded or even included in apk.

Have you made such observations? Or did you get an android-maven project with actionbarsherlock dependency to build in android studio? Any tips on how to get this working with android studio are appreciated :)

Answer 1

I found a problem. This has nothing to do with android studio or using the toolbar, but with another apklib dependency that incorrectly declared dependencies on xpp3 and xmlParserApis with the “compilation” of the area where it should be “provided”.

Idea 12 had no problems with this, but an android studio / idea. 13 viewing seems stricter.

Simply changing the area to "provided" in the project structure solves the problem.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. This structure worked for me at the end:

Copy the ABS to the project:

 Project ├── build.gradle ├── Module │  ├── build.gradle │  ├── libs │  └── src ├── libraries │  └── ABS │  ├── build.gradle │  ├── libraries │  ├── libs │  └── src └── settings.gradle 

Project / settings.gradle:

 include ':Module', ':libraries:ABS' 

Project / libraries / ABS / build.gradle:

 buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+' } } apply plugin: 'android-library' dependencies { compile "com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0" } android { compileSdkVersion 17 buildToolsVersion "17.0.0" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 9 targetSdkVersion 17 } } 

Project / module / build.gradle:

 buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+' } } apply plugin: 'android' dependencies { compile "com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0" compile project(':libraries:ABS') } ... 

Answer 3

Just remove QName.class from the xpp3 flag.
