UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/annotation/AnimRes

Question

I have this problem while trying to run my application. I'm not using any of the annotaions in my code, but still have it.

my app build.gradle

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "mobi.greenon.greenon"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile project(':facebook')
    compile files('libs/android-async-http-1.4.6.jar')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
}

my facebook build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

project.group = 'com.facebook.android'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.4'
    compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 8
    }

    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {

my project build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

my setting.gradle

How it can be solved? Thanks, Eyal.

Answer 1

Try This

configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'

}

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

  MultiDex.install(getBaseContext());//Application class

Answer 2

remove android-support-v4.jar from Libs folder, i did that and it works

Answer 3

add this to your build.gradle

android{
....
packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    }
}

Answer 4

Try to clean your project before compile. That worked for me.
