com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException with Facebook SDK

Question

I have my project which works well, if I add the Facebook SDK generates a com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException error trying to compile.

I tried Maven Repository, and downloading the SDK Facebook, and both generate the same error.

This is the Gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile project(':simple-crop-image-lib')
    compile project(path: ':backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
    compile project(':httpclient-4.3.6')
    compile project(':httpmime-4.3.6')
    compile project(':httpcore-4.3.3')
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:21.0.3'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
    compile 'com.koushikdutta.async:androidasync:1.3.8'
    compile 'com.koushikdutta.ion:ion:1.3.8'
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.5'
    compile project(':facebook')
}

This is the implementation:

public class extends Activity implements Register GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
// Facebook
UiLifecycleHelper private uiHelper;
// Facebook
...

This is the error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Well, I find the solution, the problem is specified by this line:

TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

when I added Facebook Libraries, I got more than 65536 methods, and that is the limit, then we must optimize the code:

First if you are using Google Play Services:

Change :

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'

For only the services that you wana use, for example in my case:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:6.5.87'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:6.5.87'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:6.5.87'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-panorama:6.5.87'

See the list here: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html

Now, change the SDK version to 21, and add multiDexEnable on Gradle:

...
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
...
defaultConfig {
    targetSdkVersion 21        
    multiDexEnabled true
...
}

and Add:

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

Finally in AndroidManifest.xml add:

<application
    ...
    android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
    ...
</application>
