Android - transform Classes With Dex For Debug

Question

My project was working fine until I added the Facebook dependency. I've started getting this error. I've read many question, the problem seems to be related to MultiDex. But none of the solutions worked for me

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:  com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command  '/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1 

Even after I remove what I've added, it still show and also gradle seems to be taking a lot of time while building than usual

Here is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'  android {     compileSdkVersion 23     buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"  defaultConfig {     applicationId "net.ciblo.spectrodraft"     minSdkVersion 15     targetSdkVersion 23     versionCode 1     multiDexEnabled true  } buildTypes {     release {         minifyEnabled false         proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'     } } }  dependencies {     compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])     testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'  repositories {     mavenCentral()     maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }  } compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)' compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1' compile 'com.daimajia.easing:library:1.0.1@aar' compile 'com.daimajia.androidanimations:library:1.1.3@aar' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0' compile 'com.pnikosis:materialish-progress:1.5' compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.+' compile 'com.michaelpardo:activeandroid:3.1.0-SNAPSHOT' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.1' compile 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.5'  } 

Answer 1

Adding the following code to build.gradle app module solved my problem

android{     defaultConfig {          // Enabling multidex support.         multiDexEnabled true     }       dexOptions {         javaMaxHeapSize "4g"     } } dependencies {     //...     compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' }

you can selectively compile Google Play service APIs into your app. For example, to include only the Google Fit and Android Wear APIs, replace the following line in your build.gradle file:

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' 

with these lines:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:8.4.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0' 

==> to keep the number of methods in your app (including framework APIs, library methods, and your own code) under the 65,536 limit.
