This question has been asked before, however, I have followed the directions carefully and am still receiving this issue. I need some help with figuring out what I am missing with my particular situation. Here is what I have done.
1) Add android-support-multidex.jar: Added android-support-multidex.jar to projected libs folder 2) Edit project build.gradle: I modified my build.gradle file located in my project's folder.
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
.....
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.mypackagename"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
// Move the tests to tests/java, tests/res, etc...
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
// Move the build types to build-types/<type>
// For instance, build-types/debug/java, build-types/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, ...
// This moves them out of them default location under src/<type>/... which would
// conflict with src/ being used by the main source set.
// Adding new build types or product flavors should be accompanied
// by a similar customization.
debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
release.setRoot('build-types/release')
}
}
3) Modify Project Application class: I have a class that extends Application. I added the following to it.
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
This was originally an Eclipse project. I exported the Eclipse project, and then imported the build.gradle file in Android Studio. I have not been able to successfully run the project since. Any help with steps I have missed would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Here is the contents of my top-level build file
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'
}
}
