Android Dex error while building APK [duplicate]

Question

I'm getting the below error while attempting to build APK. I have read several posts on how to resolve the problem, but as I have not been developing for that long, i'm unsure what I am doing. So, hope someone can help.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

This is my build.gradle (Module)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 25 buildToolsVersion "25.0.2" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.dawnlp.mymap" minSdkVersion 22 targetSdkVersion 25 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations' }) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1' testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' }

and this is my build.gradle project

/ Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3' // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } } allprojects { repositories { jcenter() } }

Would appreciate it if someone could help out, also bare in mind I'm a little inexperienced.

you have to enable multidex as your methods are more than 65536 or you can simple replace play-services library with what ever is needed like ad etc — Manohar

Use it :

android{ defaultConfig { multiDexEnabled true } }

And use it too

 dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' }

Thanks. Do you mean place defaultConfig { multiDexEnabled true } into dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' }

Like this dependencies { defaultConfig { multiDexEnabled true } compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations' }) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1' testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' }

You need to enable multidex, add this line to your defaultConfig :

multiDexEnabled true

And this line to your dependencies :

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

Also, as you are running unit tests, you need to create a class that extends the application and install MultiDex :

public class YouApplication extends Application { @Override protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(base); MultiDex.install(this); } }

use this block in your module level gradle : dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" }

And in manifest change the application name to .multidex. hope your code will work fine now
