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

Answer 1

I was facing the same error when I incremented the targetSDKVersion from 22 to 23 I spent minimum a whole day to resolve the issue. Now finally i find the result that use different play service api in your build.gradle file Source: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#add_google_play_services_to_your_project

I added only relevant Api's and my app is working fine.

Answer 2

Don't forget it.

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

Answer 3

dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.2'
compile files('libs/StartAppInApp-3.5.0.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'    
}  

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'.

Answer 4

I downgraded my google play-service dependency from

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

to

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

which solved this issue for me.

Please refer to the following Stack Overflow link for further description.

Please Note: On upgrading to the latest google play-service
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0' it solved this issue as well.

Or you could selectively import certain services that you require, instead of importing all google play services.

Answer 5

Configure your app for multidex to resolve this issue.

For minSdkVersion 21 or above set multiDexEnabled to true in your module-level build.gradle file, as shown below:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    //...
    minSdkVersion 21 
    targetSdkVersion 26
    multiDexEnabled true
   }
  //...
 }

For minSdkVersion API 20 or lower

1. Modify the module-level build.gradle and add the multidex library as a dependency, as shown below:

   android { defaultConfig { ... minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 26 multiDexEnabled true } //... } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' }

2. If you do not override the Application class, edit your manifest file to set android:name in the application tag as follows

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.myapp"> <application android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"> //... </application> </manifest>

   2.1.1. If you do override the Application class Extend MultiDexApplication

   public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication { //... }
   

   2.1.2. Or if you do override the Application class but it's not possible to change the base class, then you can instead override the attachBaseContext() method and call MultiDex.install(this) to enable multidex:

   public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherApplication { @Override protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(base); MultiDex.install(this); } }

for more mdex-gradle

Hope this will be help others who are facing same issue.

Answer 6

I solved by adding this and lowering the play-service dependancy to 8.4.0 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

    @Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
    super.attachBaseContext(newBase);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

and add the following to the manifest

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