Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. >

Question

When I execute my app I get this error:

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

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

It happened suddenly and I don't know why Here is the code of my gradle setting of the module that doesn't works:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "it.uniba.di.sms.studente.adem.bikesharing"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'
}

and this is the code of the gradle setting of the full app

  buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

EDIT: Error I get after enabling multidexing:

Answer 1

You are importing Google Play services "location" service twice. com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0 line itself contains location services. Therefore its redundant and cause above error.

You probably wanna remove this line,

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'

And keep this,

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0'

Google has listed all the sub services which comes with Google Play Services. And you should not import com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0 complete library unless otherwise you uses all the services. This link has complete sub list of Google Play services, so you can import only the necessary ones.

Answer 2

Just remove this line, and rebuild

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0'

If until issue is not resolved then integrate multi dex lib, you can see How to enable multidexing with the new Android Multidex support library
