com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException

Question

When I implement these two dependencies in my project:

• For BTC implementation 'org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.14.7'

• For BCH implementation 'cash.bitcoinj:bitcoincashj-examples:0.14.5.2'

This error will occur:

Caused by: com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'org.bitcoin.production.checkpoints.txt'

How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

This issue appears because bitcoincashj-examples library also transit org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.14.5.2 dependency.

All that you need to do is exclude org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.14.5.2 dependency from bitcoincashj-examples library.

implementation 'org.bitcoinj:bitcoinj-core:0.14.7'
implementation ('cash.bitcoinj:bitcoincashj-examples:0.14.5.2'){
    exclude group: 'cash.bitcoinj', module: 'bitcoinj-core'
}
