On Updating Android Stdio,Error:Execution Failed For Task ':app:dexDebug'. > Com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:

Today when i had updated my android stdio , then i had seen following error , i can not understand cause for these error but it is giving a lot of truble . Error:Execution failed

Solution 1:

 dependencies {
...
// add this since you are using minSdkVersion less than 21
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
 }

and set multiDexEnabled to true in defaultConfig like this

defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.shubham.MeraIndore"
minSdkVersion 12
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true

}

 You also need to reference the MultiDexApplication class in your manifest    by adding      android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" to application tag.

Note: If instead, your app extends the Application class, you can override the attachBaseContext() method and call MultiDex.install(this) to enable multidex, like this.

 @Override
 protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);

}

Solution 2:

it always happens because you enabled multiDex for release builds only, not for debug builds.

Try this:

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}

Solution 3:

One of the causes for this is when you reach the 65K method limit. You can solve this by either removing unused code/libraries. For that you need to have a look at your dependencies. To list your dependencies you can execute

gradlew -q dependencies app:dependencies --configuration compile

command in your project's root directory.

Or if there are no code/libraries to remove, you can use multidex support

dependencies {
    ...
    // add this since you are using minSdkVersion less than 21
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

and set multiDexEnabled to true in defaultConfig like this

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.shubham.MeraIndore"
    minSdkVersion 12
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true
}

You also need to reference the MultiDexApplication class in your manifest by adding android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" to application tag.

Note: If instead, your app extends the Application class, you can override the attachBaseContext() method and call MultiDex.install(this) to enable multidex, like this.

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

Solution 4:

You seem to use different versions of the Android support library (23.0.1 and 23.1.1). Maybe you should try to use the same version.

Also, as suggested before, list your dependencies to check that they use the same versions as you of the support library:

./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration compile
