Error: Program type already present, when adding QR reader module [duplicate]



This question already has an answer here:



I've added the following line to my build.gradle:
implementation 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.5.0'


implementation 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.5.0'



and then got this Error when trying to build the project:


Error: Program type already present: android.support.v4.os.ResultReceiver$MyResultReceiver



Can anyone explain the meaning of that error



This is my entire current build gradle:


apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig
applicationId "com.example.chaimovy.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
multiDexEnabled true

buildTypes
release
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'




configurations.all exclude group: 'android.support.v4.app', module: 'INotificationSideChannel'


dependencies
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-alpha1'
implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
implementation 'org.web3j:core:3.3.1-android'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-alpha1'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0-alpha3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0-alpha3'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'
implementation 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.5.0'



And can anyone suggest a way of solving it with the new dependency added?

That library has a transitive dependency on:


com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1



Which is conflicting with the transitive dependency some of your other app dependencies have on:


com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.0



If you don't want to to use the transitive dependency that comes with zxing-android-embedded you can exclude it:


implementation('com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.5.0')
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'



You could also explore a resolution strategy for the conflict:


android
configurations.all
resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.0'




You can see all your transitive dependencies with the following gradle command:


./gradlew -q dependencies app:dependencies
