My gradle build looks like this: apply plugin:

'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.dscholty.test"

        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'

        exclude 'readme.html'
        exclude 'META-INF/eclipse.inf'
        exclude 'license.html'
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'

    implementation files('libs/org.eclipse.persistence.moxy-2.7.1.jar')
    implementation files('libs/jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar')
}

Is there a chance that anyone can help me out and get this running? I can not seem to find any good help on the internet on this.

i mean that is really the question. I am relatively new to this. If someone could explain that its not possible and tell me exactly why its not, this would be a huge help. Right now i can only "guess" why its not working. — Daniel S, Apr 14 '18 at 18:09
Last time I asked, JAXB did not work on Android. But I'm not an Android dev so may be not up-to-date. — lexicore, Apr 14 '18 at 18:16
Not really. My impression was it's because of annotations and reflection, but I don't know exactly. — lexicore, Apr 14 '18 at 20:01
