I've tried looking at similar ones and no solution has worked. I've previously run apps without a problem but my new app suddenly started giving me problems. It always fails when I try to run it saying:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Here is what the console displayed:

This app is very simple and I have not changed it much from the stock layout. It is designed only for lollipop and uses only stock features. Here is the build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.package.app"
    minSdkVersion 21
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
}

Note that this is a problem with building your app, not with running it - though of course you have to managed to build successfully at some point before you can run it.Spondylitis
@Rand, did you find any solution ? I am facing the same issue, I have 32 bit configuration, I guess this is the issue.Carrillo

It must have been a problem with my Java install. I removed all traces of Java (C://program files/Java/jdk) and jre folders and reinstalled it from the official page and now it works fine.

After a lot of surfing, i found out the problem is GC overhead (out of memory). By adding below code to my build.gradle saved my day.

android {

    dexOptions {
        incremental = true;
        preDexLibraries = false
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g" // 2g should be also OK
    }

}

Maybe you can change your buildToolsVersion num.

this is my problem:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'D:\ProgramTools\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

my build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.pioneers.recyclerviewitemanimation"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

I just change buildToolsVersion to buildToolsVersion "23.0.2" and the problem was solved.

Problem RAM. I had similar message in my Messages Gradle Build

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal. 
ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' 
finished with non-zero exit value 1

Why: I didn't have free RAM on my laptop with the OS windows 8.1.

Solution: I closed a few programs that I don't need. After that, I had more free RAM and my project was built in android studio.

In my case, the solution was to close Android Studio and kill the java processs, which was very big (1.2 GB). After this, my project runs normally (OS X Mount Lion, Android Studio 1.2.2, iMac Mid 2011 4GB Ram).

Hadn't even thought of this. Worked for me. Simply restarting AS (like 4 times) did nothing.Taxpayer
Mac crashed my login (not a full reboot). On logging back in, all running apps restarted putting the Java process in some weird zombie state (my best guess). Killing the Java process in activity manager fixed the issue. Thanks!Banna

Solution

1.Just clean the project and check its working or not

2.Just Restart android studio after closing all the rubbish tasks

3.If both the above things not working add this in gradle.build file

android {

    dexOptions {
        incremental = true;
        preDexLibraries = false
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g" 
    }

}

Same here. The fix was to use provided instead of compile for the processor dependency. See this ticket.Dominations

After adding a jar file to a project's lib folder and after adding it to the build.gradle file as compile'path example' when you sync the gradle it add an additional line as compile files('libs/example.jar'). You just need to remove the line you previously added to the build.gradle file i.e. the compile'path example' after the gradle sync. You also need to remove the line compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')

Superfluid answered 6/7, 2015 at 5:17 Comment(2)
In your case just remove the line compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']). Hope it will work fine for you.Superfluid
This worked for me as well. I do not know why this is so difficult for me iOS adding dependencies and managing these is wayyyy more simple.Benilda

The answer for me was to free memory to the build process, closing programing or rebooting the machine (win10 seems to manage memory worse than win7)

Why did it fixed for me?

During the build, android studio doesn't find enough memory to compile but it doesnt show any error. The :app:preDexDebug error happened just when I tried to upload the compiled app to the phone.

Sometimes I could get through this point (no app:preDexDebug error), but when running the application on android I got "ClassNotFound" exceptions. This was the clue to discover android studio wasn't compiling all my files during build because of the lack of memory (win10 asked me to close android studio to save memory during the build), even though the IDE showing me that the build was successful.

Lazarus answered 18/8, 2015 at 13:43 Comment(2)
This more like question about the exceptions or a comment rather than an answer. If this is an answer please mention how you fixed all the exceptions you are mentioning about, if this is a new question ask a new question about the previously you are getting.Infringement

Cleaning and rebuilding the project works for me. In Android studio:

Build -> Clean Project 
Build -> Rebuild Project

I have tried virtually everything until I tried to run the script from error in command line:

dx.bat -JXmx1536m --dex --output \build\intermediates\pre-dexed\debug\classes-01b5c6cd66151f573da9773c18af55d10736a24e.jar build\intermediates\exploded-aar\aaa-release\classes.jar
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Then I commented out developer's memory setting in gradle script:

//        javaMaxHeapSize "1536m"

and I was able to pass this error. I need to increase RAM in my laptop.

Copolymer answered 27/3, 2015 at 16:18 Comment(3)
how did you set javaMaxHeapSize? I set it using gradle.properties, but it only works for gradle daemon.Laconic
javaMaxHeapSize is a property under android.dexOptions. I had it at 3gb myself at a Win10 install with 16GB ram. Decreasing it to 1 or removing it fixed it (ironically) for meCryogen
Yes, also strangely enough decreasing it to 1gb in my project from 3gb worked. I have plenty of RAM so very strange.Soane

You must update all blocks in SDK Manager (Support Library, etc.), all non updated libs and packages. After this you must sync gradle files with project and rejoice!

In my case setting Java Max Heap Size from 2g to 1g worked.

Add following to application module's build.gradle file

android {
    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "1g"
    }
}

This solution work for me

Install Java JDK 8.

Then, go to Tools-> Options ->Tools for Apache Cordova-> Environment Variable Overrides and set the path to your JDK to "C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.8.0_121" to get Java 8 instead of Java 7.

Experimental I found way:

App extends Application not MultiDexApplication

and remove

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

from gradle.properties

I got this error after transferring my project from my laptop to my desktop in Android Studio.

My solution was to restart Android Studio, then clean the project and finally execute the project.

I had the same issue, after trying each of the answers here, I noticed that a package which I had renamed had not been renamed in a class which imported it. I fixed the name and immediately solved the problem.

This is likely due to your app exceeding the 65k method count, thus causing a dex error. There is no solution, other than enabling multidexing in your app.

Well there can be many problems associated with it. First of all check whether you messed up with some file placements. for example what I did is I placed non xml file in anim folder, which isn't allowed. So check whether such things happened to you as well.

Have you enabled multidexing?. Do extend your main Application class with MultiDexApplication. I have got additional exception mesage before the error. They are as follows.

Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
2 errors; aborting

This clearly tells that the error occurred due to out of memory. Try the following:

  1. extend your main Application class with MultiDexApplication.
  2. close unused applications from background and restart Android Studio.

This will do the trick ;)

Give this mother a chance:

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.4.0-beta6'
    }

Don't forget to bookmark this.

I've had the same issue just now, and it turned out to be caused by a faulty attrs.xml file in one of my modules. The file initially had two stylable attributes for one of my custom views, but I had deleted one when it turned out I no longer needed it. This was apparently, however, not registered correctly with the IDE and so the build failed when it couldn't find the attribute.

The solution for me was to re-add the attribute, run a clean project after which the build succeeded and I could succesfully remove the attribute again without any further problems.

Hope this helps someone.

There's many reason that leads to

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

If you are not hitting the dex limit but you are getting error similar to this Error:com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: name already added: string{"a"}

Try disable proguard, if it manage to compile without issue then you will need to figure out which library caused it and add it to proguard-rules.pro file

In my case this issue occur when I updated compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.3.0' to compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'

One of the workaround is I added this to proguard-rules.pro file

## Google AdMob specific rules ##
## https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start ##

-keep public class com.google.ads.** {
   public *;
}

I resolve this problem with a joking way. I have two class with names startDl and StartDl. I just change one of them to StartDownload and my problem solved. also can resources have a name that already is reserved with anymore resource in project. just rename similar names to different.

All you need to do is to kill some of the running process and free the space on your Memory(RAM). You can try closing some of the high memory consuming program. You can also try restarting the Android Studio. It worked for me.

Remove the line:

('com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0')

From dependencies (in build.gradle):

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
}
