Getting Error: conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex:

Question

While running the project into eclipse (ADT) I am getting following error:

[2014-07-03 16:21:50 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/parse/ParseAuthenticationProvider;
[2014-07-03 16:21:50 - SimpleNexus] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/parse/ParseAuthenticationProvider;

I googled it but i am not getting specific solution. Any body knows about it then please help me

Answer 1

I know it's an old(ish) question but I couldn't find an answer myself and this is one of the top Google hits for multiple dex files define parse.com.

I was getting the same error because there were 2 instances of the parse.jar. I had imported the Parse SDK jar, and then imported the ParseLoginUI module which included a parse.jar making 2 parse.jar files in the project. To fix, I deleted the parse.jar from the libs folder of my app and it resolved the issue.
