Not sure where i am getting this exception from. any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

Downgrade your dependency in build.gradle file:

from:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'

to:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.3.0'

This worked in my case, hope same for you.

Answer 2

It is so simple to fix guys.If you are using player-services and firebase both in your project make sure that you don't import all the available services in the google.Just import the APIs what you actually need. For example:

 compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.2.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.2.0'

Doing this way it can give you noclassdeffounderror .To fix this

remove play-services and sync your project. If you have dependency like using ads or maps in your app then define the specific API. like:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.2.0'

Note: Maximum don't try to use multiDexEnabled true. This should be your last step to fix something.

Hope this is helpful.

Answer 3

try to solve...

in Gradle file

multiDexEnabled true

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

Manifest file

application tag add this line

android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

Answer 4

This worked for me:

1. If you haven't already, update your 'Google Play Services' to Revision 30 from Android SDK Manager > Extras.

2. And then add the line compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' to your dependancies (or simply remove multiDexEnabled true if not required)

3. Add this attribute to the application tag in manifest: android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
   If you already have a custom application class defined in Android Manifest, extend it from MultiDexApplication instead of Application

Hope it helped!

Answer 5

Step1: Fix multidex

Application class:

public class StudyNApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }
 }

Grade file

defaultConfig { 
...
multiDexEnabled true
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Step2: Fix java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.firebase.FirebaseOptions

Remove

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'

Add two lib:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.4.0'

It worked fine.

Answer 6

I think I've found a solution for this issue at this answer, please give it a look and thank @Gabriele Mariotti, he wrote:

In your top-level build.gradle you have to add:

buildscript {
    // ...
    dependencies {
        // ...
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
    }
}

Then in your module build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
  // ...
}

dependencies {
  // ... 

}

// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
