I am working on a project in eclipse, but after sometime it giving me error like "Unable to execute dex: method ID not in" as single DEX file having 65k method limitations.
To overcome the issue I come into the picture of Gradle plugin v0.14.0 for Android adds support for Multi-Dex.
So I moved to Android Studio.
I have updated SDK and exported project from eclipse as per Migrating from Eclipse.
Now I have project structure required in Android Studio.Their is dependency of project on ABS, Google Play Service lib and android multidex support lib. I have added these libraries to my project folder named "libraries".
Project Gradle file looks something below:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.14.1'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile project(':libraries:ABS')
compile project(':libraries:GooglePlayServiceLib')
compile (project(':libraries:android-support-multidex')) {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0"
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
dexOptions {
preDexLibraries = false
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
release.setRoot('build-types/release')
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
}
afterEvaluate {
tasks.matching {
it.name.startsWith('dex')
}.each { dx ->
if (dx.additionalParameters == null) {
dx.additionalParameters = ['--multi-dex']
} else {
dx.additionalParameters += '--multi-dex'
}
}
}
When I clean and build project it builds successfully. But when I run project as android application giving me following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/system/framework/android.test.runner.jar", zip file "/data/app/com.example-2.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app-lib/com.example-2, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]
I am thinking that application is not compiling AndroidManifest.xml OR I am something missing ? Any help is going to be appreciated. :)
