android : Error converting byte to dex

Question

So, I am getting the following error while running the project after upgrading build.gradle (Project) from

dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha2'          // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong         // in the individual module build.gradle files } 

to

dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3'          // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong         // in the individual module build.gradle files } 

I just changed the gradle from 2.0.0-alpha2 to 2.0.0-alpha3 and then, trying to build the project.

Error log:

Answer 1

Okay. I don't know how but this worked.

First I cleaned the project and then, running the project made everything go alright.

Inshort, First Clean and then Run.

Edit First Clean and then Make Project also works.
