GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.0.2.jar and google GSON

Question

I recently downloaded the newest GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.0.2.jar to use in my Android project. My project also uses the gson-1.5.jar library. After importing the GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.0.2.jar and build, the Console reports this error:

[2011-03-25 11:28:37 - <appname>] Error generating final archive: 
Found duplicate file for APK: assembly-descriptor.xml 
Origin 1: C:\Users\<myusername>\Documents 
\admob4\GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.0.2.jar 
Origin 2: C:\Users\<myusername>\Documents\gson\gson-1.5.jar 

When i remove the gson-1.5.jar from the project, this error goes away. I would like to use GSON in my project.

What is the problem here? How can i use both GSON and GoogleAdMobAdsSDK-4.0.2.jar?

edit: just updated GSON to 1.6, same problem

Answer 1

I am having the same problem as you.

I couldn't fix it so I go back to an older version. You can get the jar that I am using from my github repo.

This is totally an admob issue and I hope they fix it soon. Someone should answer your question.
