Building an APK generates Error:Execution failed for task

When I try to build with my current gradle.build file, I get an error, then following that my gradle build.
Why is it causing this error?
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:

compile 'com.io.tools.android.ramiloif.folderchooser:folderchooser-dialog:1.0.6'
I don't know what is causing this. What can I do to solve this issue?

Change and exclude gms from facebook library.
compile ('com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.+'){
exclude group:"com.google.android.gms"
}
Then clean and rebuild your project.
Hope it works :)

Apache Mahout for Android

I am making a music recommendation Android app. I am trying to add Apache Mahout to the dependency, yet the library methods and classes are unavailable. Kindly point out what is going wrong .
Here's the build.gradle file.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.ashutosh.music_player"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+'
compile 'org.apache.mahout:mahout:0.10.0'
}
If you know anything as an alternative to mahout for recommendation system, kindly suggest that.

APK build fails when compiling with 'net.lingala.zip4j:zip4j:1.3.2'

Getting the following error when trying to build the APK.
Error:Execution failed for task

I created a new project in Android Studio and simply copied all of the old files, except for the gradel. It now it works fine to build the APK file. Unfortunately this doesn't really explain why the problem emerged in first place. I have included a copy of the new gradle file below but the only main differences is the support for “mulitdex” which didn't really make any difference if I removed from the first version of the gradle file.
But now it finally works so I am happy with that.

Let me know how to resolve the issue.

This should hopefully work.... Make sure you remove the jar files from the libs folder as they will cause you problems. This now fetches the latest versions from maven
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.doldurkazan.umutbahadir.sonolsun"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0"
compile 'com.loopj.android:android-async-http:1.4.9'
compile group: 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader', name: 'universal-image-loader', version: '1.9.5'
compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.6.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
repositories {
maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/ksoap2-android-releases' }
}
}
}

Why are you doing
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
instead of including the v4 support libraries the same way as you are adding appcompat??? This is a guaranteed way to create errors.

Try this instead
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.doldurkazan.umutbahadir.sonolsun"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile files('libs/android-async-http-1.4.8.jar')
compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.4-with-sources.jar')
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile files('libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar')
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
you may or may not need to add
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1"
All versions of the support libraries in use need to match, so you can mix a v23 and a v22 in the same project.

try removing this
compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}
code and clean your project.it may help
