Question

In Android project were team primarily still uses Eclipse were added some 3rd parties libs, then Android Studio fails to run on device anf when running gradle build there is error:

:preDexDebug                      
warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class
(com.umeng.socialize.bean.a) that doesn't come with an
associated EnclosingMethod attribute. This class was probably produced by a
compiler that did not target the modern .class file format. The recommended
solution is to recompile the class from source, using an up-to-date compiler
and without specifying any "-target" type options. The consequence of ignoring
this warning is that reflective operations on this class will incorrectly
indicate that it is *not* an inner class.

And so on warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute 10 to 20 times for different files

(UPDATE these warnings seem to be older issue, see Dx warning issues with latest Android SDK dated Nov 2 '11; also in Many issues after upgrading to Android Studio 1.0)

BUILD FAILED  

Tried with

buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
compileSdkVersion 19

and

buildToolsVersion "22"
compileSdkVersion 22

and

buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
compileSdkVersion 21

for both

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.+'

and compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+'

Eclipse ADT has no problem. How to overcome with gradle / Android Studio?

Answer 1

Thanks to Guillermo Merino for hint. Yes there is android-support-v4.jar there.

Solved with exclude as

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar', exclude: 'android-support-*.jar')
    //...
}
