This error is because of using more number of libraries in my case  compile  com google android gms play-services-9 4 0  caused this error To avoid this error use necessary libraries for example if you want to use Maps in your app Then use    compile  com google android gms play-services-maps 9 4 0  while adding google play services dependency specify the needed libraries only by default it includes all the libraries

I didn t know  by then  that  compile fileTree dir   libs   include      jar     compile all that has jar extension on libs folder  so i just comment  or delete  this lines     compile  com squareup retrofit retrofit 1 9 0    compile  com squareup okhttp okhttp-urlconnection 2 2 0    compile  com squareup okhttp okhttp 2 2 0     compile files  libs spotify-web-api-android-master-0 1 0 jar     compile files  libs okio-1 3 0 jar     and it works fine  Thanks anyway  My bad

For me the problem was  i had put a unnecessary complie library code in build gradle   dependencies       compile  com google android gms play-services 7 5 0      which was causing over 65k methods  so removed it gradle sync  cleaned project  and then ran again and then this error stopped  I needed just maps and gcm so i put these lines and synced project  compile  com google android gms play-services-gcm 7 5 0  compile  com google android gms play-services-location 7 5 0    Hi people i again encountered this problem and this time it was because of changing build tools version and it really required me to enable multidex  so i added these my app s build gradle file    defaultConfig       applicationId  com am android      minSdkVersion 13     targetSdkVersion 23        Enabling multidex support      multiDexEnabled true    dexOptions       incremental true     javaMaxHeapSize  2048M      jumboMode   true    dependencies       compile fileTree include      jar    dir   libs       compile  com android support multidex 1 0 1      And create a class that extends Application class and include this method inside the class     Override protected void attachBaseContext Context base        super attachBaseContext base       MultiDex install this       also include in OnCreate method too   Override public void onCreate         MultiDex install this       super onCreate

Updating my Java SDK to the latest version 1 7 0 79 and updating the SDK Location under Project Structure solved the problem for me

This issue is quite possibly due to exceeding the 65K methods dex limit imposed by Android  This problem can be solved either by cleaning the project  and removing some unused libraries and methods from dependencies in build gradle  OR by adding multidex support   So  If you have to keep libraries and methods  then you can enable multi dex support by declaring it in the gradle config   defaultConfig                  Enabling multidex support      multiDexEnabled true     You can read more about multidex support and developing apps with more than 65K methods here

I think it s conflicts of  jar file in your project    I have removed android-support-v4 jar from libs folder and its working      if your project gives error  check in your build gradle file     dependencies

I Reject Embedded JDK   in 32bit   because embedded JDK is 64bit  Right click your Project -  Open Module Setting -  SDK Location -  Uncheck Use embedded JDk then set your JDK Path  eg in Ubuntu  usr lib jvm java-8-openjdk-i386

Mine got solved by enabling multiDex for debug builds   defaultConfig   multiDexEnabled true

If you want to see what exactly is causing the error  try building your project via gradle terminal  like this   gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace --debug   I ve seen the following error in my case com android dex DexIndexOverflowException  method ID not in  0  0xffff   65536  This happened when I was trying to entegrate Google Maps to my project  To fix it  I simply checked libraries I was including   compile  com google android gms play-services 9 8 0   I simply changed it to   compile  com google android gms play-services-maps 9 8 0   and problem was gone

I had the same error after converting my project to Kotlin  My problem was that my jre location was changed to an invalid path during the process  I wonder why this could happen    made me waste time   Fixed it by doing this   File  gt  Project Structure  gt  SDK Location    Unchecked the Use embedded JDK option  which was pointing to an old JDK installation  and selected the correct one    home my user jdk1 8 0 101   After changing this  the error disappeared

Just in case if someone still struggling with this and have no clue why is this happening and how to fix  In fact this 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 jdkx x x xx bin java exe   finished with non-zero exit value 2   can have many reasons to happen but certainly not something related to your JDK version so don t wast your time in wrong direction  These are two main reasons for this to happen   You have same library or jar file included several places and some of them conflicting with each other  You are about to or already exceeded 65k method limit   First case can be fixed as follows  Find out which dependencies you have included multiple times  In order to do this run following command in android studio terminal   gradlew -q dependencies yourProjectName usually app dependencies --configuration compile   this will return all the dependencies but jar files that you include from lib folder try to get rid of duplication marked with asterisk      this is not always possible but in some cases you still can do it  after this try to exclude modules that are included many times  you can do it like this  compile   com facebook android facebook-android-sdk 4 0 1        exclude module   support-v4        For the second case when you exceeding method limit suggestion is to try to minimize it by removing included libraries  note sounds like first solution  if no way to do it add multiDexEnabled true to your defaultConfig  defaultConfig                    multiDexEnabled true     this increases method limit but it is not the best thing to do because of possible performance issues IMPORTANT adding only multiDexEnabled true to defaultConfig is not enough in fact on all devices running android  lt 5 Lollipop it will result in unexpected behavior and NoClassDefFoundError  how to solve it is described here

In my case  the problem was that the new library  gradle dependency  that I had added was relying on some other dependencies and two of those underlying dependencies were conflicting clashing with some dependencies of other libraries dependencies in my build script  Specifically  I added Apache Commons Validator  for email validation   and two of its dependencies  Apache Commons Logging and Apache Commons Collections  were conflicting with those used by Robolectric  because different versions of same libraries were present in my build path   So I excluded those conflicting versions of dependencies  modules  when adding the new dependency  the Validator    compile   commons-validator commons-validator 1 4 1         exclude module   commons-logging      exclude module   commons-collections      You can see the dependencies of your gradle module s   you might have only one module in your project  using the following gradle command  I use the gradle wrapper that gets created for you if you have created your project in Android Studio Intellij Idea   Run this command in your project s root directory     gradlew  YOUR-MODULE-NAME dependencies  After adding those exclude directives and retrying to run  I got a duplicate file error for NOTICE txtthat is used by some apache commons libraries like Logging and Collections  I had to exclude that text file when packaging  In my build gradle  I added   packagingOptions       exclude  META-INF NOTICE      exclude  META-INF notice txt      exclude  META-INF NOTICE txt      It turned out that the new library  the Validator  can work with slightly older versions of its dependencies modules  which are already imported into my build path by another library  Robolectric    This was the case with this specific library  but other libraries might be using the latest API of the underlying dependencies  in which case you have to try to see if the other libraries that rely on the conflicting module dependency are able to work with the newer version  by excluding the older version of the module dependecy under those libraries s entries

In my case  I got this error when there are 2 or more libraries conflict  same library but different versions   Check your app build gradle in dependencies block

If You have already updated your SDK and You also using google-play-services then you need to take care of the dependency because there are some kind of conflics with    Follow the below   compile  com google android gms play-services    Replace by compile  com google android gms play-services 6 5 87   Note  Here  6 5 87  is the google-play-service version  I hope it will help
