Materialdrawer: Android Studio application build problem

[Okami-x-Senpai]

Before the new version ### 7.x of MaterialDrawer I could compile my project in java of Android studio without problems, but now with this new version.

I am having the following problem:

_com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF / library_release.kotlin_module_

Any solution to this or could lord fix this problem with Android Studio projects in Java?

@itzThiefz-exe that seems to happen if multiple dependencies/modules with kotlin are in an app.

You can add:

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module'
}

to the build.gradle

Obtain again the same error message even by entering the code you recommended. What I can do?

[mikepenz]

the same error are you sure? did you also add it to the right build.gradle in the correct module?

[Okami-x-Senpai]

Yes. Add it to the build.gradle (Module: app)

[mikepenz]

and the exact same log appeared or was it a different file? (there might be various of those kotlin files which need to be excluded)

[Okami-x-Senpai]

I already managed to repair it, I had to delete the Build folder and rebuild the project.

Apologize me if I reopen this bug but I'm unable to compile my project using version 7.0.0-rc02.

Adding exclusion inside packagingOptions doesn't resolve.

May you consider to change the module name directly inside your library?

In my libraries I change kotlinOptions, take a look at my build.gradle

[mikepenz]

@dafi you might need to adjust the packageOptions to whatever file conflicts.

interesting. I am still curious on why this situation exists in general, as I believe it should be handled by the android tooling
