一、问题描述

com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/androidx.legacy_legacy-support-core-utils.version'

二、问题原因

是因为一个文件在jar包中出现多次，也就是是android.support和androidx不能共存，而我们在dependencies就出现两个公用的情形。所以检测项目的build.gradle文件中的dependencies,如下：

implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0'

三、解决方法

1、根本解决问题方法·1：(亲测可用) 删除掉android.support库即可。
2、解决问题方法2：（未测试）
需要在app.gradle文件里面android节点下添加这样的代码
