GoogleMap Android API sample doesn't work

I try to learn Google Map API from this tutorial(https://github.com/googlemaps/android-samples). However I got error message when I run the app. this problem provably simple issue but I'm a beginner of using android studio and Google Map API. so I have any idea to solve this....

Please give me some advice.

error message

'Execution failed for task':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug' com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException:com.android.dex.DeIndexOverFlowException: method ID not in [0,0xffff]:65536

this is what I did.

1)download the zip file. (https://github.com/googlemaps/android-samples)

2)open AndroidStudio and Import project from using 'Import project(Eclipse ADT,Gradle,etc...)'

3)put Google MAP API key in 'gradle.properties' file.

4)run

I'm assuming that you are referring to ApiDemos and tutorials under googlemaps/android-samples

  • ApiDemos using compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps'
  • tutorials using compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services'

The second one will deal with all play services apis instead of specific one. So you are facing the 65K limit problem.

Try using the individual api (like com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps) for all samples under googlemaps/android-samples

You have too many methods. There can only be 65536 methods for dex.

You need to include multi-dex

Add these lines in build gradle

android {

defaultConfig {
    ...

    // Enabling multidex support.
    multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}

dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

Also in your Manifest add the MultiDexApplication class from the multidex support library to the application element

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
<application
    ...
    android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"> 
    ...
</application>
</manifest>
