java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zza(Landroid/content/Context;)V in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/zzc; its super classes

I'm trying to use firebase-core library in my Android project but it keeps giving me this NoSuchMethodError in my released apk. However, it works fine in emulator. The exception message is this:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zza(Landroid/content/Context;)V in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/zzc; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.zzc' appears in /data/app/com.xxxx.xxxx/base.apk): com.google.android.gms.measurement.internal.zzfx.zzs(Unknown Source)
I added firebase-core:16.0.7 using Android studio's firebase assistant. And my gradle file is as follow:

Error:(87, 8) error: cannot find symbol method addOnPageChangeListener(<anonymous SimpleOnPageChangeListener>)

My project worked perfectly ( no trouble with the view pager ) until I added 2 new libraries ... things started to get bad, now it returns " cannot find symbol method addOnPageChangeListener" and even if I remove the method from my code it returns "non-zero values 2". I did understand that maybe it comes from duplicated app-support v4 but none of my libraries or projects compile an android app-support v4

NoClassDefFoundError: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter

I am using Amazon's Java SDK in my Android app to communicate with SimpleDB. I added the sdk to the gradle file, and it runs until calls DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary and I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter
at com.amazonaws.util.Base64.encodeAsString(Base64.java:36)
at com.amazonaws.auth.AbstractAWSSigner.signAndBase64Encode(AbstractAWSSigner.java:69)
Shouldn't the javax library be included automatically, or at least in the aws build?
Here's my gradle file in case this helps:

unfortunately the package javax.xml.bind.* are not available on android so you cannot use the amazon java sdk.
but for android you could use the aws mobile SDK, please visit http://aws.amazon.com/mobile/sdk/

issue using gradle in an android project

I almost know nothing form Android, I created a project and then I wanted to use some plugin based on Gradle, so I added some build.gradle file. I added there
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
mavenCentral()
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion '18'
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 18
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
}
}
}
The doc says import uk.co.senab.actionbarpulltorefresh.library.PullToRefreshLayout; to private PullToRefreshLayout mPullToRefreshLayout; But, this package can not be resolved. Someone can help ?

Change this:
dependencies {
mavenCentral()
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
To this:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}

issue with actionbarpull's gradle file

I have some build.gradle file this
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion '18'
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 18
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
}
}
}
that throws this error :
A problem occurred configuring root project 'NewsFeeder'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':_DebugCompile'.
> Could not find any version that matches com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+.
Required by:
:NewsFeeder:unspecified
But, this reference to chrisbanes's actionbarpulltorefresh seems to be correct : https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh/wiki/QuickStart-Stock. How can it be since in this project is available in [maven central repo][1] ?
For information, I set in some local.propertiesfile sdk.dir=/home/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130522/sdk, which is the same that what echo $ANDROID_SDK returns

You need to tell gradle where it can look to find the dependency. If you want gradle to use the mavenCentral repository then add this to your build.gradle file:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
The buildscript repositories is just for the build script dependencies, not project dependencies. You want to add the repositories entry at the outer most, or project, level.
Your build.gradle would look like:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion '18'
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 18
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
}
}
}
