Using SimpleXML with Android and Gradle

Solution 1
You need to also exclude stax-API.
implementation('org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.+'){
exclude module: 'stax'
exclude module: 'stax-api'
exclude module: 'xpp3'
}
Solution 2
Try this if previous solution doesn't work:
configurations {
compile.exclude module: 'stax'
compile.exclude module: 'stax-api'
compile.exclude module: 'xpp3'
}
dependencies {
[...]
compile 'org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.+'
}
repositories {
[...]
mavenCentral()
}
Solution 3
I think you need to exclude some of dependencies.
compile('org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.+'){
exclude module: 'stax'
exclude module: 'xpp3'
}

I'm having troubles trying to compile an Android application with Gradle 0.5.+ and Android Studio, using SimpleXML.
This is the error:
Gradle: Execution failed for task ':MyApplication:dexDebug'. > Failed to run command: /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/build-tools/android-4.2.2/dx --dex --output <REALLY_LONG_STRING.....> Error Code: 1 Output: trouble processing "javax/xml/stream/events/StartElement.class": Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*) when not building a core library. This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file in your application's project, when using an IDE (such as Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's going on. However, you might actually be trying to define a class in a core namespace, the source of which you may have taken, for example, from a non-Android virtual machine project. This will most assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform. It is also often of questionable legality. If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine distribution, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this error message. If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact building an application, then be forewarned that your application will still fail to build or run, at some point. Please be prepared for angry customers who find, for example, that your application ceases to function once they upgrade their operating system. You will be to blame for this problem. If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a core package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to repackage that code. That is, move the classes in question into your own package namespace. This means that they will never be in conflict with core system classes. JarJar is a tool that may help you in this endeavor. If you find that you cannot do this, then that is an indication that the path you are on will ultimately lead to pain, suffering, grief, and lamentation. 1 error; aborting
build.gradle is configured like that:
dependencies { [...] compile 'org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.+' } repositories { [...] mavenCentral() }
How can i solve this problem?
EDIT The problem is not present if i install Simple-XML directly as a Jar inside libs/ - of course a maven solution would be cleaner.
