show build.gradle – Schwarzwald 5/9, 2017 at 11:32

@IntelliJAmiya This is not a duplicate of the reported question. At least for me, the problem started with AS 3.0 beta 4 and I already use multidex. – Amarillas 7/9, 2017 at 10:4

How? I don't have privileges, I think – Amarillas 7/9, 2017 at 10:6

@Amarillas Yes . Thanks for mention . Its a bug ? sure ? – Schwarzwald 7/9, 2017 at 10:10

I don't know yet for sure. But I can run ./gradlew assembleRelease on the command line without problems. – Amarillas 7/9, 2017 at 10:12

@IntelliJAmiya still not sure if it's a bug but I posted an answer with the solution I found to the problem. – Amarillas 7/9, 2017 at 10:26

Not working in Android Studio 3.0 RC2 – Procumbent 25/10, 2017 at 13:1

Try and add this to your gradle file: multiDexEnabled true It worked for me. – Bis 2/11, 2017 at 11:10

I have same problem with Android Studio 3.0 beta 4. I found a solution.

1. From the Build menu, press the Clean Project button.

2. After task completed, press the Rebuild Project button from the Build menu.

I'm happy to help part of solution of your problem – Velate 8/10, 2017 at 14:13

I wonder, why is the answer not usefull and why report the answer? @SagarTrehan – Velate 25/10, 2017 at 21:36

This works on Android Studio 3.1 Canary. However it seems like i have to do this each time i make changes to gradle. Is there a lot term fix for this? – Fricative 27/10, 2017 at 5:9

Worked for me using Android Studio 3.0 – Mobley 29/10, 2017 at 2:7

For Android Studio 3.0 what I did was to add this to my gradle:

multiDexEnabled true

And it worked!

Example

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xx.xxx"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 24
        versionCode 9
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true //Add this
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            shrinkResources true
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

for me, this does not resolve the problem... I still continue working on resolve it.. – Joist 1/11, 2017 at 21:41

Try these steps: Delete your .gradle, clean and rebuild. Also don't forget add multiDexEnabled. Hope it helps – Weirdie 2/11, 2017 at 0:4

If you enable multidex and your minSDK is less than 5.0, then follow the instructions here: developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex – Toogood 7/8, 2018 at 22:23

So I solved this issue by doing the following:

Delete the ./gradle folder inside your project
Delete all the build folders and the gradle cache. I ran the following command:

How ?

 cd ~/[your project root folder] && find . -name build -exec rm -rf {} \; && rm -rf $HOME/.gradle/caches/

Assuming your gradle config files are in the $HOME/.gradle folder.

Inside Android Studio, went to File > Invalidate caches / Restart... and invalidated the caches and restarted it.

Amarillas answered 7/9, 2017 at 10:23 Comment(5)

Delete .gradle folder fixes my problem. Thanks for help! – Bergren 11/9, 2017 at 10:2

Same issue on AS 3.0 Beta 7, unfortunately this is still not working for my case. – Laager 5/10, 2017 at 22:44

Have tried all above solution but does not work for AS 3.0 beta 7. Kindly help – Bozen 16/10, 2017 at 8:5

I still have the problem in AS 3.0.1 – Rabe 30/11, 2017 at 11:59

Invalidate caches and restart have broken all my Android Studio settings... – Hinkle 11/1, 2018 at 16:46

You should be able to get to the cause of this error by inspecting your dependencies with gradle and looking for duplicates like this: ./gradlew -q app:dependencies

In my case, the following error was happening at build time:

Duplicate zip entry [httpcore-4.4.1.jar

and it was resolved by doing this in my build.gradle:

implementation ('me.dlkanth:stetho-volley:1.0') {
    exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
}

Pentlandite answered 25/10, 2017 at 13:34 Comment(2)

In my case 'com.android.volley' was being added twice somehow, I also added the exclude statement, now its working fine. – Cloverleaf 27/10, 2017 at 10:28

running this script gave me could not determine java version from 9.0.1. I updated to Gradle from 4.1 to 4.2.1 using Android Studio 3.0 – Chatty 17/2, 2018 at 23:54

If your minSdkVersion is 21 or higher

   android {
        defaultConfig {
           multiDexEnabled true
        }
    }

if your minSdkVersion is 20 or lower

1) you must add the following library in dependencies

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

2) Create a java class then extend it from Application and override attachBaseContext method.

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

3) Mention the created class inside manifest in application tag.

    <application
        android:name=".MyApplication"
.
.
.
    </application>

Cookson answered 12/11, 2017 at 20:18 Comment(2)

If above code does not work then check your every library in the gradle by holding cursor on it, if it has available new version then Update it, sync, clean project, rebuild project and run. hopefully, it will work for you. – Cookson 13/11, 2017 at 12:16

This code works for Android 5.1 and above... for below android version.. there is another way to add multidex support. developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html – Magallanes 2/12, 2017 at 10:57

Check your dependencies for latest version usually it is inconsistency with the version of any of your dependencies.

1.Build > Clean Project 2. Rebuild your project

Check the verbose log for the dependency causing the merge issue and update the same. Repeat the same for each dependencies.

I faced same issue in Android Studio 3.0.1, I tried all possible cases nothing worked for me as mentioned above, finally I solved it by

Solution1:

Close Android Studio
Delete .gradle folder located at C:\Users\YourComputerName\.gradle not from app's .gradle
Restart android studio

It will download all the necessary jars and add to your build path

Solution2:

Delete duplicate jar from libs folder in app/libs
Rerun the app again

Because if there is duplicate jar file which already defined in build.gradle file it causes issue.

This solved the issue for me. It may help others..

what about a Linux User ? Same error I am getting. Please guide me – Dit 1/12, 2017 at 5:52

Do the same thing which I mentioned in your linux. i.e., Go to terminal the location of .gradle would be something like '~\.gradle\' – Gloriole 1/12, 2017 at 6:7

I am trying but its not visible.. Which location you are trying to explain ? Where I installed my Android studio or project location ? – Dit 1/12, 2017 at 6:10

No it is in your user home i.e., for ex: ~/.gradle/caches/.. – Gloriole 1/12, 2017 at 6:16

Thank you ... I solved it. There was mismatch version code – Dit 1/12, 2017 at 7:1

This error can have multiple reasons. No clean and rebuild or anythging like that did the job for me.

For me the problem was the dependency:

compile 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'

I removed it and everything worked fine.

Change "compile" to "compileOnly" this is what worked for me.

In my case the culprit was SendGrid lib, added this and it got fixed:

compile 'com.github.danysantiago:sendgrid-android:1',{
    exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
}

I am using Studio 3.0.0 release. In my case there was the only solution: I have removed old JARs from the "libs" folder in my project: it was "ksoap2" package with dependencies. Packages obtained with gradle usually do not conflict with each other, at least if you are using the most popular ones. But an old JAR in libs folder may crush your build if it includes all own dependencies.

I have tried other comments from removing gradle and bla bla bla, but adding multiDexEnabled true solving my problem, I investigate that my apk has reached Over 64K Method.

I am using Android Studio 3.0.1 and was facing the same problem. If others answer doesn't works try this:

Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

It worked for me Sync Project with Gradle Files

Sometime it can happens due to same library (jar file) present two times or your project has reached 64k methods limit.

Solution: 1) Remove Databinding if your project use this 2) Remove same type library from lib folder or, delete .gradle file from c//user//your_pc//.gradle 3) apply this in your build.gradle

android {
    defaultConfig {
       multiDexEnabled true
    }
}
