Android Build: Dex Jumbo Mode in Gradle

Question

I am using following line in android ant build (project.properties):

dex.force.jumbo=true

Now we are migrating from ant to Gradle. Is it possible to get jumbo mode active in Android Gradle build?

Answer 1

I was able to do this on Windows by changing the dx.bat in the build-tools and adding the --force-jumbo parameter as a default. Definitely a work around though - hopefully this will be addressed in the Gradle plugin.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it possbile to set force jumbo in Gradle, but since Android Studio 0.2.4 you can enable it in Compiler -> Android DX Compiler -> Force Jumbo Mode.

Answer 3

Modify build.gradle in your module to add:

android {
    dexOptions {
        jumboMode = true
    }
}

After that run gradle clean in your project root

Answer 4

Check your build tools. Update if necessary and try again.

just add multiDexEnabled on default config at build.gradle file

defaultConfig {
   ...
   multiDexEnabled true
   ... 
}

You can modify your build.gradle file to include:

    dexOptions {
        jumboMode = true
    }
}
