This solved my case   In my case  I was getting the exception below  note that my application class was causing the exception  not my activity    ClassNotFoundException  Didn t find class  com example MyApplication  on path  DexPathList   I was getting this exception only on devices equal or below API 19  the reason was that I was extending MultiDexApplication   class and overriding attachBaseContext at the same time  When I removed attachBaseContext everything got on track   class MyApplication   MultiDexApplication      override fun onCreate         super onCreate                 override fun attachBaseContext base  Context         super attachBaseContext base      MultiDex install this      So if you happen to have such case as I had  Which isn t likely   there is no need to extend MultiDexApplication   and override attachBaseContext at the same time  doing one of these actions is enough

This was similar to my problem--after adding a Kotlin file to an all Java app  my app kept crashing when I would access a view that used a Kotlin file  I shut down Android Studio and restarted it  and it prompted me with a message saying  Kotlin not configured  would you like to configure    which then solved my problem   What this ultimately did is add the following classpath line inside my project build gradle file   buildscript             dependencies                   classpath  org jetbrains kotlin kotlin-gradle-plugin  kotlin version
