I guess maybe classes-jarjar_framework.jar too big. i am building android source now, i will find some jar instead of classes-jarjar_framework.jar tomorrow.

someone give some advice, thanks very much

update 12/28 2014

thank @stkent, finally, i use https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html#mdex-gradle To solve my problem. i love stack overflow.

when you encounter "Local path doesn't exist" problem, first you should know where is problem. so run

gradlew clean packageDebug

no --Debug , less infomation

next, solve it

My english is not good, sorry again :)

Answer 1

Here i suggest two way may be help you.

1. Change in your build.gradle file

   buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false // Change Here proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' }

2. Go this path of your Computer(Windows Os) and change.

Path; Controlpanel>System>Advance System Setting>Environment Variable this will open popup . Add or Change under System Variable on PATH and give it value %SystemRoot%\system32

May be this will help you better

Answer 2

Your app has reached the 65K methods limit. See the official guide for solutions. Copied from the documentation:

Avoiding the 65K Limit

Before configuring your app to enable use of 65K or more method references, you should take steps to reduce the total number of references called by your app code, including methods defined by your app code or included libraries. The following strategies can help you avoid hitting the dex reference limit:

• Review your app's direct and transitive dependencies - Ensure any large library dependency you include in your app is used in a manner that outweighs the amount of code being added to the application. A common anti-pattern is to include a very large library because a few utility methods were useful. Reducing your app code dependencies can often help you avoid the dex reference limit.
• Remove unused code with ProGuard - Configure the ProGuard settings for your app to run ProGuard and ensure you have shrinking enabled for release builds. Enabling shrinking ensures you are not shipping unused code with your APKs.

Using these techniques can help you avoid the build configuration changes required to enable more method references in your app. These steps can also decrease the size of your APKs, which is particularly important for markets where bandwidth costs are high.
