Mapbox: Gradle sync failed with DexArchiveMergerException

Question

I am integrating the dependencies for the mapbox-sdk into my gradle build files and run into the error that I have duplicates in my dependency tree. How can I exclude the necessary dependencies?

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.1.1'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-alpha2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'

    // android exinterface
    implementation 'com.android.support:exifinterface:28.0.0'
    // mapbox sdk
    implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:6.7.0'
    // navigation sdk will transitively bring maps-sdk
    implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation-ui:0.24.0-beta.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android:support-v4:r7'
    // multidex enabling
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'

}

I have multiple entries for androidx.fragment:fragment:1.0.0 (*) which seems to be the issue.

The exception I get is a DexArchiveMergerException as followed:

In gradle.properties add below lines

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

This error typically occurs due to one of the following circumstances:

A binary dependency includes a library that your app also includes as a direct dependency. For example, your app declares a direct dependency on Library A and Library B, but Library A already includes Library B in its binary. To resolve this issue, remove Library B as a direct dependency.

Your app has a local binary dependency and a remote binary dependency on the same library. To resolve this issue, remove one of the binary dependencies.

Hi @shizhen, thank you for the help. I have had added these lines in my gradle.properties. I couldn't solve the issue so far. — Alica, Nov 24 '18 at 18:15
