Android Studio build error - Multiple dex files de

问题:

I am unable to build my project in Android Studio. I get the following error:

Error:Android Dex: [RaditazAndroid] Unable to execute DX
Error:Android Dex: [RaditazAndroid] com.android.dx.util.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;

However, this error means nothing to me. It does not provide clues as to where I should begin fixing my project. Has anybody encountered something similar?

回答1:

For anyone who is interested, I solved my own problem. My mistake was that I had pasted android-support-v4.jar and google-play-services.jar in all of my project's module lib folders (my project consists of 3 modules). What I had to do instead was to paste these jars only into my main module's lib folder, and the other modules would automatically reference them.

回答2:

Away from Android Studio, I opened the project in finder/workspace and did this:

1- MyProject folder -> build -> intermediate -> dex-cache -> cache.xml, and deleted all support-v4.jar items.

2- Also away from Android Studio, Went to every module in my project -> lib folder -> and deleted support-v4.jar as well.

Then cleaned the project and ran it and it worked thanks god :)

回答3:

I had the same error.Solved it by adding to gradle file.

    dependencies{
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
        compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.0'
    } 

回答4:

In case you have:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.0'
compile('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0') { exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'support-v4' }

in your project, add also:

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.0'

or

compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'

回答5:

In my case the problem was in module sdk version. I changed it from 2.2 to 4.4 and the problem was solved.

回答6:

I had the same error.

Removing a library(jtwitter.jar) form my-project/app/libs folder helped me.

Then cleaned the project and ran it and it worked.

回答7:

Clean and rebuild was all it took for mine to start working.

回答8:

I used a different approach by merging ABS res folder with my res folder and using ActionBarSherlock.jar as a global lib.

Works well so far and hope this help someone! But this is a hack since I was fed up of doing many things and I can't use Gradle since some of the other developers using Eclipse ADT without Gradle.

Root Cause for the issue is using android-support-v4 in ABS and my project both and it's complicating DEX.

回答9:

In case someone else was having this problem with the Project Tango examples provided via Github, I solved it by commenting the following line out in the app's build.gradle file for those projects which failed to run:

compile fileTree(dir: external_lib_prefix + '/jar', include: ['**/*.jar'])

回答10:

I had same issue in Android Studio 2.3, in my case I had a mixture of version numbers which threw the build out, I changed:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:7.5.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:7.5.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:8.4.0'
}

to

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:8.4.0'
}

For others wondering why this problem still persist even doing all other things suggested, This may help.

For me problem started when i added Glide library

dependencies {
  .........
  implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0'
  .........
}

and i had added already.

implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'

Which was contradicting with Glide support library somewhere.

Solution: Remove or downgrade your Glide support version.

 implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.0.0'
