I am adopting the new update of google Places sdk in my app. I uses the version below. But I have problem with it. I don't have any clue if what is the cause of the issue. I don't know what is FinalizableReferenceQueue mentioned in the error.

dependencies {

  implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0'

}

There is no error upon building the project. The error only will show when I run the project. I'm using Android Studio.

Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/common/base/FinalizableReferenceQueue;

After trial and error, commenting one dependency at a time, I finally found the issue.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'



android {



compileSdkVersion 26

useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'



defaultConfig {

    applicationId "xxx.com.xxx"

    minSdkVersion 15

    targetSdkVersion 26

    versionCode 201811141

    versionName "2018.11.14.1"

    multiDexEnabled true

    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

}

buildTypes {

    release {

        minifyEnabled false

        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

    }

 }

}



dependencies {

implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0'

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.4+'

// App's dependencies, including test

implementation 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.1'

implementation 'com.toptoche.searchablespinner:searchablespinnerlibrary:1.3.1'

implementation project(':aFileChooser')

}



//This are all the libraries that I commented to fixed the issue.

//implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')//this will give mutidex error

//implementation files('libs/droid-fu-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar')

//implementation files('libs/android-async-http-1.4.9.jar')

//compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.0.0'

//implementation 'cz.msebera.android:httpclient:4.3.6' //this will give error if use

In case anyone else runs into this issue, I'll offer a little more explanation...

The underlying cause is that the project is pre-compiling DroidFu as a JAR and including it as a dependency, which packages a few Guava classes without relabeling the package path, leading to version conflicts with Guava dependencies in the the Places SDK lib.

Wanted to note this since it could be an issue in other projects that rely on Guava.
