Android - update guide: duplicated source

[PietroGranati]

If you set the strings.xml file like in the tutorial:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <resources> <string name="google_app_id">YOUR_FIREBASE_APPLICATION_ID</string> </resources>

You get this error on compile:

Removing it seems to fix

yes, if you use the json file with gradle (ti > 9) you don't need the strings XML file with the appid
