Android+Gradle: 2 files found with path 'simplelogger.properties' from inputs

[bringert]

I tried building an Android app using Android Gradle Plugin 8.3.2 and this dependency on simple-openai:

implementation 'io.github.sashirestela:simple-openai:2.3.3'

The build failed with:

> Task :app:mergeDebugJavaResource FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugJavaResource'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.MergeJavaResWorkAction
   > 2 files found with path 'simplelogger.properties' from inputs:
      - /Users/bjorn/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/io.github.sashirestela/simple-openai/2.3.3/efa2c93988486eee2a07dc42e192f31f9439fad6/simple-openai-2.3.3.jar

     Adding a packaging block may help, please refer to
     https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.3/com/android/build/api/dsl/Packaging
     for more information

I was able to work around it by adding packagingOptions:

android {
   ...
    packagingOptions {
        merge "simplelogger.properties"
    }
}

@bringert
were you able to use this library in an Android project ?
I'm trying but getting errors.

specifically this one about slf4j-simple :

if you had any success, could you please tell me which Java JDK version you used in project settings ?
Also the version on builg.gradle:
mine is:

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

The latest version 3.16.0 has been updated to support OkHttp (see Readme for details). Could you check if you can use it on Android. Take in account that this library requires Java 11 at least.

[ilker-aktuna]

I developed my own wrapper library and completed the project. Unfortunately I won'T be able to test this now.
Probably if okhttp is supported it might work on Android.
