error while creating PDF

I am trying to generate a PDF using Android Studio. I am using the iText library, but when I add it into Android studio, I get the following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

When I remove the library, my project successfully compiles. It works as expected when using Eclipse instead of Android Studio.

EDIT

Here is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.abc"
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }
}

dependencies {

    compile project(':Wheel')
    compile project(':facebook')
    compile files('libs/mint-4.0.8.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.1.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.1.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile files('libs/itextpdf-5.5.6.jar')
}

And error list instead of line posted

回答1:

I faced a similar problem yesterday. Just add this to your build.gradle file and clean/invalidate your project =)

android {

    ....

    dexOptions {

        jumboMode = true
    }
}

I used iTextG library as suggesed by "Bruno Lowagie" in comment and Remove unused libraries.

The com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: exception is arrived because

As per android developer site

The Dalvik Executable specification limits the total number of methods that can be referenced within a single DEX file to 65,536, including Android framework methods, library methods, and methods in your own code.

https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html

But with this method we got out of memory issue. To fix this we have to add in android closure.

dexOptions { 
   incremental true 
   javaMaxHeapSize "4g" 
}
