The content of the gradle script is:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 289
        versionName "2.2.0"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles 'proguard-android.txt', 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
        debug {
            debuggable true
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.5.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.5.0'
    compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.23.1') {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'support-v4'
    }
    compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.3.1@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }
    compile project(':UtilsLibrary')
    compile project(':NumberPickerLibrary')
    compile project(':drag-sort-listview-lib')
    compile project(':GoogleAPI Library')
    compile project(':MenuDrawerLibrary')
    compile project(':IOLibrary')
    compile project(':AR Library')
    compile project(':GoogleLicense')
    compile project(':android-maps-utils-library')
}

I`m sure that somehow I added twice an of the google libraries.

Thanks.

Answer 1

check the other modules, which are compiled for this module.

The best way to see what is contained as dependencies is to use gradlew.

see here how to generate the dependencie three.

now you have to look with the three where the other google librarie is.
