Guava List equalsImpl method is missing, causing a crash

Updating to the latest version (v2.14.1) from v2.11.8 is causing NoSuchMethodError when calling stop or setPlayWhenReady on SimpleExoPlayer.

Stacktrace:

    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method equalsImpl(Ljava/util/List;Ljava/lang/Object;)Z in class Lcom/google/common/collect/Lists; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.common.collect.Lists' appears in /data/app/nz.co.nuffie.android.crichq.debug-F5vmfXFZC-UlvORDHCviyA==/base.apk!classes8.dex)

I’ve also tried updating to v2.12.3 (and 2.12.1). Similar crash (indexOfImpl is missing on List):

Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

Issue solved. Some old files from Guava from way back (before Android Studio) were in our project sitting and not being used. I deleted the lot, and that solved it! I’ve recently taken over the project hence why I didn’t know about the files.

It happens to all builds after v2.11.8 but is not an issue for builds before it. Whatever broke it happened in 2.12.0 or 2.12.1.

ExoPlayer’s Guava dependency was introduced in 2.12.0 - that would explain why you don’t see problems before that:

• Add a dependency on Guava.
