Android studio 2.0 gradle transformClassesWithDexForDebug fails when using button "run"

Question

I have a problem after migration from android studio 1.5 to 2.0

In one of my project (only one) i can't use android studio run button,

because then, build fails on gradle task "transformClassesWithDexForDebug"

with error:

:app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug
AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: local variable type mismatch: attempt to set or access a value of type java.lang.Object using a local variable of type int. This is symptomatic of .class transformation tools that ignore local variable information.","sources":[{}]}
AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"1 error; aborting","sources":[{}]}

 FAILED

what is even more frustrating, this is not happening when I am using terminal command where are the same gradle tasks

./gradlew clean generateDebugSources generateDebugAndroidTestSources mockableAndroidJar prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies assembleDebug

The apk files are nicely generated Problem appears on MAC and Linux, so it is not platform specified, but it not appears in Android Studio 1.5

I am posting my gradle.build file

Answer 1

for few weeks i was trying to solve this problem.

Now I have found workaround for that. If someone face the same problem, turning off instant Run in Android Studio settings will help.

I know that it is not a solution but it is the best thing for now.

Answer 2

add

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

in android

Answer 3

I restart Android Studio (2.0) when I have this problem. Then it works. No edit in gradle files or turn off instant run required.

Answer 4

All it took to fix this issue for me was to add the following lines to the build.gradle file for the mobile app:

...

android {

    ...

    // Enabling multidex support.
    multiDexEnabled true
}

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

...

}

dependencies {

...

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

...

}

Answer 5

For me adding this line (or commenting out because it is written there in the 13th line) in gradle.properties worked:

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

Also I turned off Instant run (Android Studio 2.1.2).
