Answer 1

Your mistake is the fault that you need a package called dx.

My solution to your problem is to use windos xp sp 3. Download ADT 23 and solve this problem.

Link package dx.jar -> http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/d/Downloaddxjar.htm

Answer 2

Go to Project » Properties » Java Build Path » Libraries and remove all except your android SDK version click OK. Go to Project » Clean » Clean projects selected below » select your project and click OK I hope this will help.

Another reason is that it can be a JAR file conflict, if you have a JAR file located somewhere in your project folder and then added it as a Java Path Library. It does not show up under the Package Explorer, so you don't notice it, but it does get counted twice, causing the dreaded Dalvik error

Answer 3

I'm one of the maintainers of Android's dx tool; this is a dx crash and it's our fault that you're seeing this exception.

I've triaged it to my own team as bug 23821. We'll have much better luck fixing the bug if you can provide detailed steps to reproduce the crash. Providing us with links to the input .class or .java files that trigger the crash would be best. It's possible that your .class files are invalid; even if that is the case dx should report a friendlier error.

Please attach instructions to reproduce and related files to the bug!
