android - Can't instantiate Coordinate Resource System java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.geotools.factory.Hints -

i trying use geotools java library in project of mine built using gradle , version 14.3:

compile 'org.geotools:gt-shapefile:14.3' compile 'org.geotools:gt-epsg-hsql:14.3' 

basically, time try instantiate coordinateresourcesystem, such as:

coordinatereferencesystem crs; try {      crs = crs.decode("epsg:4326"); //also tried defaultgeographiccrs.wgs84_3d } catch (factoryexception e) {      e.printstacktrace(); } 

i error @ runtime:

java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: org.geotools.factory.hints @ org.geotools.referencing.crs.<clinit>(crs.java:181) 

all of advice i've received until has had enabling multidex , have tried every single 1 of combinations of gradle prescribed, no avail. tried cleaning , building dozens of times. no matter receive pesky error @ runtime. thoughts why be? can see class in jar.

i have noticed dependency imports several jars, similar package names. these package names causing confusion?

really @ loss here , can't continue project until i've figured out how implement code properly.

edit

here's logcat. showing there seems kind of issue how art deals of geotools classes, including culrpit hints class.

the "usual way" break geotools referencing not include epsg factory or include more one. question can't tell problem. described in faq need 1 of epsg jars, gt-epsg-hsql.

your question tagged android , there some known issues spi based factory finder system geotools uses don't think should issue.
