Currently Apache POI will not work on your Android Phone out of the box due to various problems that you will run into when using the libraries from Apache POI directly. Android is more strict about duplicate classes as part of the jar-files and unfortunately XmlBeans has such duplicate classes in it's jar-file.

There are two projects that try to make it possible to use Apache POI on Android:

It means that you are adding this class twice or more.
Check all you jars files to remove it.
