Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug' while migrating project from eclipse to studio

Question

I am trying to run my code in studio but continuously getting this error :-

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDebug'.
> Unexpected constructor structure.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

I tried a lot many approaches to solve this error but nothing seems to be working for me

Here is what was doing earlier in my code when this error initially arise :-

Fragment Call from FragmentActivity:-

  public void showSelectVideoFragment() {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if (checkCurrentSelectedBtForLeftMenu(lMenuBtUploadVideoWRAP)) {
            return;
        }

        setBtBackgroundForLeftMenu(lMenuBtUploadVideoWRAP);
        addFragment(new SVideoFragment(mLeftMenu));
    }

private void addFragment(Fragment fragment) {
        if (fragmentManager != null) {
            if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
                PVHomeFragment homeFragment = (PVHomeFragment) fragmentManager
                        .findFragmentByTag(FM_TAG_HOME_FRAGMENT);
                fragmentManager.beginTransaction().hide(homeFragment).commit();

            } else {
                fragmentManager.popBackStack();
            }

            fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.fragmentContainer, fragment, FM_TAG_TOP_FRAGMENT)
                    .addToBackStack(null).commit();
        }
    }

SVideoFragment Code :-

public class SVideoFragment extends PVBaseFragment {
private SlidingMenu mLeftMenu = null;
private static final String SLIDEMENU_KEY = "describable_key";

public SVideoFragment() {

}

@SuppressLint({"NewApi","ValidFragment"})
public SVideoFragment(SlidingMenu leftMenu) {
    mLeftMenu = leftMenu;
}


@Override
protected void initFragment() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
@SuppressLint({"NewApi","ValidFragment"})
@Override
protected View initFragmentView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_select_video, container,
            false);

    Button btToggleLeftMenu = (Button) v
            .findViewById(R.id.btToggleLeftMenu);
    btToggleLeftMenu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            if (mLeftMenu != null) {
                mLeftMenu.toggle();
            }
        }
    });

    ((Button) v.findViewById(R.id.btSelectVideo))
            .setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    showVideoSelector();
                }
            });

    return v;
}

I added below lines to build.gradle :-

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

            android {
                compileSdkVersion 23
                buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

                defaultConfig {
                    applicationId "com.example.app"
                    minSdkVersion 14
                    targetSdkVersion 22
                    multiDexEnabled = true
                }

                 buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
            }
        }
        lintOptions {
            abortOnError false
            checkReleaseBuilds false
        }
        dexOptions {
            javaMaxHeapSize "4g" //specify the heap size for the dex process
            preDexLibraries = false //delete the already predexed libraries
        }
        allprojects {
            configurations {


                all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'

            }
        }
    }

    dependencies {
    compile project(':sdk')

    }

After doing all above i was still getting same error so i choose second method that is :-

I called Fragment like this :-

public void showSelectVideoFragment() {
    SVideoFragment mSVideoFragment = new SVideoFragment();
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if (checkCurrentSelectedBtForLeftMenu(lMenuBtUploadVideoWRAP)) {
        return;
    }

    setBtBackgroundForLeftMenu(lMenuBtUploadVideoWRAP);
    addFragment(mSVideoFragment.newInstance(mLeftMenu));
}

And In Fragment :-

 public class SVideoFragment extends PVBaseFragment {
    private SlidingMenu mLeftMenu = null;
    private static final String SLIDEMENU_KEY = "describable_key";

    public SVideoFragment() {

    }


    public static SVideoFragment newInstance(SlidingMenu leftMenu) {
        SVideoFragment fragment = new SVideoFragment();
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putSerializable(SLIDEMENU_KEY, leftMenu);
        fragment.setArguments(bundle);

        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        if (getArguments() != null) {
            mLeftMenu = (SlidingMenu) getArguments().getSerializable(SLIDEMENU_KEY);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void initFragment() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
 @SuppressLint({"NewApi","ValidFragment"})
    @Override
    protected View initFragmentView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_select_video, container,
                false);

        Button btToggleLeftMenu = (Button) v
                .findViewById(R.id.btToggleLeftMenu);
        btToggleLeftMenu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                if (mLeftMenu != null) {
                    mLeftMenu.toggle();
                }
            }
        });

        ((Button) v.findViewById(R.id.btSelectVideo))
                .setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        showVideoSelector();
                    }
                });

        return v;
    }

But still i am getting same error

** when i run ./gradlew assembleDebug in terminal i got :-**

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

Updated :-

I have tried every thing like adding up of jars one by one , Also Have created one new project in Android studio then put all the folders inside it , have also filter the google play services dependencies which are required for project , have added plugin for google play services too with gcm.jason file in it.

while running ./gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace command

i am getting :-

Error:trouble processing "java/awt/font/NumericShaper.class": Error:Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*)

i have done some search related this error and find that it seems to come because of android.jar replication in project but i have not found any duplicate file in my dependencies .

here is my updated gradle.build file :-

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Can anybody suggest me a way to solve this problem in android studio.

Answer 1

I`ve got same problem and I fixed it with disabling Instant Run in Android Studio -> Preferences (search for "instant run" or) -> "Build, Execution, Deployment" -> Instant Run -> Enable Instant Run -> turn off Thanks to @Balki for his answer !

Answer 2

try this: (this looks like it might be the problem)

public SVideoFragment() {
    super();
}

@SuppressLint({"NewApi","ValidFragment"})
public SVideoFragment(SlidingMenu leftMenu) {
    this();
    mLeftMenu = leftMenu;
}
