Stackdriver Monitoring: NoSuchMethodError when having a Dataflow dependency - google-cloud-dataflow

Question

I cannot build a simple metric from a java application using the Stackdriver Monitoring client when I have a dependency to the Google Dataflow client.
I get the exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.grpc.okhttp.OkHttpChannelProvider.isAndroid()Z

on the create method:

import java.io.IOException;
public class SimpleMetric {
public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
MetricServiceClient metricServiceClient = MetricServiceClient.create();
}
}
only when I add:
compile 'com.google.cloud.dataflow:google-cloud-dataflow-java-sdk-all:2.5.0'
as in my gradle file as a dependency.
plugins {
id 'java'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-monitoring:1.48.0'
// exception with the dependency below
compile 'com.google.cloud.dataflow:google-cloud-dataflow-java-sdk-all:2.5.0'
}
I reported the issue to Google. In the meantime, is there a workaround?

isAndroid was defined in io.grpc.ManagedChannelProvider taken out of grpc-core in version 1.11. The error means somehow you are using grpc-okhttp from before 1.11 and grpc-core from 1.11 or later.
google-cloud-monitoring 1.48.0 depends indirectly on grpc-core 1.13:
com.google.cloud:google-cloud-monitoring:jar:1.48.0:compile

google-cloud-dataflow-java-sdk-all 2.5.0 depends indirectly on grpc-core 1.2 and grpc-okhttp 1.2:
com.google.cloud.dataflow:google-cloud-dataflow-java-sdk-all:jar:2.5.0:compile

So basically dataflow is out of date and causing a conflict. The dataflow SDK isn't supported anymore, as it is now Apache Beam. Consider migrating to solve the issue.
