My project has 3-4 module and one base module projects. I have already integrated all setup for multi feature instant app as per sample provide by google. https://github.com/googlesamples/android-instant-apps/tree/master/multi-feature-module

I have one module(apimodule) where i have added all libraries and API dependencies. Following is my project dependencies structure.

1. AppModule

Added all module as implementation

implementation project(':base')
implementation project(':module1')
implementation project(':module2')
implementation project(':module3')
wearApp project(':wear')

2. BaseModule ( Also added application project(':app') )

Added baseFeature true in gradle

feature project(':module1')
feature project(':module2')
feature project(':module3')
api project(':apimodule')

3. apimodule

Added baseFeature true in gradle

Here is my one module1 gradle file.

apply plugin: 'com.android.feature'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 23
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation project(':base')
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'

}

Can you share relevant parts of build.gradle for module1? – Partook

Yes updated question with module1 gradle. – Homocercal

What com.android.tools.build:gradle are you using? Could you try a different version? developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin A search for "to contain exactly one file, however it contains 2 files.", unrelated to instant apps, shows some people resolved it with using a different version. – Serrato

Also, can you remove the duplicate feature project(':module1') in your base module. – Serrato

@Serrato Already tried but no luck. module1 is my typing mistake. – Homocercal

Your question mentions that you added baseFeature true to both apiModule and BaseModule, is this true? I don't think you can have 2 base features in the same instant app. The apimodule should be a normal library module, then it will be shipped within your baseFeature APK. – Partook

Just checked the same and i can not remove just baseFeature true from one module. I have to refactor all code of APImodule into base module. – Homocercal

I guess you can just include it as a library in baseModule, then you would have one base APK, but your mileage may vary of course, depending on project structure. – Partook

Yes done it same already and it worked. – Homocercal

Answer 1

As per my question I have added baseFeature true in two gradle files. One of base module gradle and one API module gradle and API module added as dependency project in base module.

What I have done is that refactor all code of API module into base module and make only one base module with baseFeature true.

This is only case solved my problem.
