Finished with Non Zero Exit Value 3

Question

I am trying to run my project, but I keep getting this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 3

This is my gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.blume.android"
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

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

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile project(path: ':endpoints-backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
compile project(path: ':cloud-backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
compile 'javax.persistence:persistence-api:1.0'
compile project(':endpoints-backend')
}

All Help is appreciated.

You most likely have a duplicate dependency in one of your compile project(. – Quean

Answer 1

I just change

"compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])"

to

"provided fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])".

It resolved my problem

It helped me too. You should mark this answer as solution to make people know that it really helps. – Turin

In my case this is not working, if i change to "provided" it give me error in some execution of code used by this libs 'httpmime-4.0.1.jar' lib "apache-mime4j-0.6.jar", in ws call. Can any body help for this ? – Braddy

Provided means the libs are needed for compilation of the project, but they won't be distributed with it. If your app actually needs the libs (like the apache-mime4j-0.6.jar in the previous comment) and the runtime environment doesn't "provide" it (hence the name), then you have to use compile. – Biodynamics

Answer 2

add this:

android {
    // Other stuffs
    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }
}

After following a lot of solutions , finally this solution helped me. I'll have to check out for drawbacks if any. Thanks. – Trunnel

I got this err: Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForGoogleDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 3 This answer helped me. – Downstream

android { defaultConfig {} dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" } packagingOptions { } buildTypes { } } – Cuss

Any idea why there is nothing in logs regarding heap size? Although it helped. – Rachellrachelle

Answer 3

Increased the HEAP size to 2g or 4g. Filename: build.gradle

android {
        defaultConfig {}

        dexOptions {
              javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
        }

        packagingOptions {
        }

        buildTypes {
        }
   }

Answer 5

1. Please check the Below Code For 1. When i am Using Firebase(com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1) and GMS (compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1' ) then it gives me error

 Error:Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 3

2. so i have added this line in gradle File `
defaultConfig { multiDexEnabled true } and in dependacies

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

dexOptions {

        javaMaxHeapSize "2g"
    }

3.so Code Working fine For Updated Version. and not working for Kitkat 4.4.2 device reason is Appcompact, Material Design not Working on that.So i have added below line code in gradle file

  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}

4. And also have dome some changes with menifest file in

 <application
        android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

5.Please Check the my Gradle file which working fine For Me you need to do changes .

  apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"


    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xyz.projectName"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    dexOptions {
        //if 2g or 4g
        javaMaxHeapSize "2g"
    }
    // important to run code on kitkat
    aaptOptions {
        additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    // multidex
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
