Question

I am getting error when i try to add Facebook as a library or as a gradle

//compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0'

Here is my android studio project structure my main App folder gradle have following library .

  compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

    compile project(':twitter-core-release')
    compile project(':tweet-ui-release')
    compile project(':twitter-release')
    compile project(':tweet-composer-release')
    //compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0'
    compile project(':facebook_sk')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:2.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:converter-jackson:2.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:adapter-rxjava:2.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.twotoasters.jazzylistview:library:1.2.1'
    compile 'com.twotoasters.jazzylistview:library-recyclerview:1.2.1'
    compile 'com.pnikosis:materialish-progress:1.7'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'io.realm:realm-android:0.82.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.1.0'
    compile 'jp.wasabeef:recyclerview-animators:1.3.0'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
    compile 'io.fabric.sdk.android:fabric:1.3.+@aar'
    compile 'com.digits.sdk.android:digits:1.7.+@aar'

in my app libs it have universal-image-loader-1.9.4.jar

and in facebook_sk it have following

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    //compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
}

in facebook libs it have bolts-android-1.1.2.jar

if i removed facebook skd and build my project then it running fine in studio but when i unable facebook sdk then it give me following error :

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

Do i need to use multidex ?

Answer 1

For now i resolved issue by adding multidex

defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xxxxx"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }


dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile project(':twitter-core-release')
    compile project(':tweet-ui-release')
    compile project(':twitter-release')
    compile project(':tweet-composer-release')
    //compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0'
    compile project(':facebook_sk')
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:2.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:converter-jackson:2.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:adapter-rxjava:2.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.twotoasters.jazzylistview:library:1.2.1'
    compile 'com.twotoasters.jazzylistview:library-recyclerview:1.2.1'
    compile 'com.pnikosis:materialish-progress:1.7'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.1.0'
    compile 'io.realm:realm-android:0.82.2'
    compile 'jp.wasabeef:recyclerview-animators:1.3.0'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
    compile 'io.fabric.sdk.android:fabric:1.3.+@aar'
    compile 'com.digits.sdk.android:digits:1.7.+@aar'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

And for Facebook sdk :

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    //compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
}

Answer 2

I get the same error when I have duplicate dependencies with different versions.

Try this command and check if there something twice:

gradle dependencies
