In gradle I try to use:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.georgiadis.weatherfirstrest"
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    }
}

    dependencies {
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.0.0'
        compile 'org.springframework.android:spring-android-rest-template:1.0.1.RELEASE'
        compile 'org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.1'
    }

When I make build I take:

Warning:Dependency xpp3:xpp3:1.1.3.3 is ignored for debug as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.
     In case of problem, please repackage it with jarjar to change the class packages

Answer 1

you can add the code below in your build.gradle file. It work for me:

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'xpp3', module: 'xpp3'
}

I also answer the question: Can not run application below lollipop

Answer 2

Change the last line to

compile 'com.hannesdorfmann:httpkit-simple-xml:1.5.0'

It works for me. The cause is that your simple-xml jar version is too high
