Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transfor

Question

I am moving my projects from eclipse to Android Studio. While running one of my app I get the following error. Not able to find any solution. I have enabled multidex as well.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: 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 1

also my gradle file is below

Answer 1

Or you can try this -

Extend your Application class with MultiDexApplication instead of Application !

Answer 2

For Ionic 4 Just

$ cordova clean

Helped me then run

$ ionic cordova run android --device

Answer 3

Duplicate name Classes

like

class BackGroundTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {

and

class BackgroundTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {

Answer 4

i have tried this one for more projects and it worked for me. note that solution can configure your app for multidex:

android {
     compileSdkVersion 25
     buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"

     defaultConfig {
           ...
           minSdkVersion 9
           targetSdkVersion 25
     }

     buildTypes {
          release {
              shrinkResources true
              minifyEnabled true
              proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
          }
     }}

 dependencies {
       compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.0'
       compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
       ...
 }

Answer 5

My Settings Screenshot:

Thanks to this post.

Just turn off instant run in your settings. You can easily search the keyword "instant" like I showed and it would switch to the window you want.

Answer 6

This can be because of following reason:

1. one of the jar files inside project was using an older version of google play services.

2. use multiDexEnabled true in defaultconfig

3. Be specific with classes you add in dependencies. like

   compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'

Not like compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
