Configuring TapJoy Creating Dex FIle issue

Question

I have multiple libraries in my libs folder in android. When I try to add "Tapjoy", I get the error:

unable to execute dex method id not in 0 0xffff 65536 android problem is coming

and, when I am trying to configure build path and adding external jars,

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.tapjoy.TapjoyConnect

I'm stuck on this problem. Can any one give me solution?

Answer 1

Congratulation you have reached the 65K method limit you have two options :

a) Clean up some code by removing unnecessary libraries / using ProGuard.

b) Multidex solution , follow these steps

1. Make sure your Android SDK Build and Android Support Repository are updated to latest version.

2. Modify your build.gradle by adding the support dex lib and enabling the multidex

   android {
   compileSdkVersion 21
   buildToolsVersion "21.1.0"
   
   defaultConfig {
       ...
       minSdkVersion 14
       targetSdkVersion 21
       ...
   
       // Enabling multidex support.
       multiDexEnabled true
   }
   ...
   }
   
   dependencies {
     compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' 
   }
   

3. Modify your manifest:

   <?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>
   

p.s if you already extend Application then just override the attachBaseContext method

    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}
