Can't run app when add Cloud vision to gradle

[suntzu93]

Hi all,
I have issus with google Cloud vision API , when i add to gradle then can't run app.
My gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.0.1'
compile('com.google.cloud:google-cloud-translate:0.9.3-alpha') {
exclude group: 'io.grpc', module: 'grpc-all'
exclude group: 'com.google.protobuf', module: 'protobuf-java'
exclude group: 'com.google.api-client', module: 'google-api-client-appengine'
}
compile('com.google.apis:google-api-services-translate:v2-rev47-1.22.0') {
exclude group: 'com.google.guava'
}
compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.20.0' exclude module: 'httpclient'
compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-vision', version: '0.9.3-alpha'
}

and I got a message :

Plz tell me know if you have any solution.
Thanks

Are you trying to use Vision from Android?

You might want to try starting from the Cloud vision Android sample as opposed to the Cloud client library sample referenced here.

[suntzu93]

Yes, I tried Cloud vision Android sample and it's working but when I generate a APK , I got a message .

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForRelease'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/common/annotations/Beta.class

I'm thinking "Cloud vision Android sample" and " com.google.cloud:google-cloud-translate:0.9.3-alpha " is Conflicts .

My gradle :
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
compile('com.google.cloud:google-cloud-translate:0.9.3-alpha') {
exclude group: 'io.grpc', module: 'grpc-all'
exclude group: 'com.google.protobuf', module: 'protobuf-java'
exclude group: 'com.google.api-client', module: 'google-api-client-appengine'
}
compile('com.google.apis:google-api-services-translate:v2-rev47-1.22.0') {
exclude group: 'com.google.guava'
}
compile 'com.google.http-client:google-http-client-gson:1.22.0' exclude module: 'httpclient'
compile 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-vision:v1-rev22-1.22.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:10.0.1'
compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'

}

Why is it not working with Cloud client library but with the android sample? All the documentation on Vision is about the client library.. I'm facing below error when adding
dependency {
compile "com.google.cloud:google-cloud-vision:0.9.4-beta"
}
in the project:

I'm currently not testing the Cloud Client library approach with Android. I'll see if I can come up with a working solution for you.

[gguuss]

You may want to try to get the project to build using a gradle wrapper for JarJar as described in the error.

[suntzu93]

@gguuss Could you explain my error ?

[gguuss]

Your error is occurring because the Cloud library has dependencies that conflict with core Android services.

Even if you ignore the error by passing the flag in your Application gradle file, e.g.:

    dexOptions {
        preDexLibraries = false
        additionalParameters=['--core-library']
    }

which seems like a bad idea, you will need to figure out a way to authorize the library by building a custom credential object because the Cloud library is tightly coupled to default application credentials. It would probably be easier if you built a microservice or other backend for accessing the Cloud Vision API.

The Cloud client libraries aren't tailored to Android, which is why there is a separate vision library for Android. If you use the Android library, there are benefits such as an offline vision model.

[suntzu93]

Thank you for your answer , so i understood that now we have no Cloud client for Android and waiting until Google provide a version for android ?

[gguuss]

@thanhlv93 Correct, the Cloud client library does not explicitly support Android but it does work from Gradle. If I come up with a solution to authenticating the client library on Android, I'll be sure to share it. If you can get it to work, please let us know!

[suntzu93]

@gguuss ok , I got it. Thanks
