Crash at runtime after migrating to Android Studio ( NoSuchMethodError )

Question

I migrated to Android studio, everything seemed ok up until I tried to run the app. It got stuck in the Launcher activity and then crashed, printing:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No direct method <init>(ILjava/lang/String;)V in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/api/Status; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.api.Status' appears in /data/data/com.MY PACKAGE/files/instant-run/dex/slice-google-play-........b-classes.dex)

Answer 1

For me it was the Problem, that the versions of different of my play service dependencies differed, like

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0' /different version
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.2'
}

should be changed to

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.2'
}

I hope it works for you or somebody running into the same issue.
