Question

Hardware information

    phone: Huawei Mate 7(MT7-TL10)
    OS: Android 4.4.2
    CPU: Kirin925

Build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
      minSdkVersion 15
      targetSdkVersion 25  
    }
    dependencies { 
      compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    }  
}  

here my minSdkVersion > 14 , so it support multidex

important log

Extracte apk secondary dexes succeeded, but installSecondaryDexes failed

I try to

     super.attachBaseContext(base);
     try {
         MultiDex.install(this);
     } catch(Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
}

but failed too, Any help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Modify your "build.gradle"

android {
        compileSdkVersion 22
        buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

        defaultConfig {
           minSdkVersion 14 //lower than 14 doesn't support multidex
           targetSdkVersion 22

           // Enabling multidex support.
           multiDexEnabled true
        }
  }

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
     }

Seeing below log:

I/MultiDex( 4514): VM with version 1.6.0 does not have multidex support
I/MultiDex( 4514): Installing application
I/MultiDex( 4514): MultiDexExtractor(/data/app/pkg_name-1.apk, /data/data/pkg_name/code_cache/secondary-dexes)
I/MultiDex( 4514): Blocking on lock /data/data/pkg_name/code_cache/secondary-dexes/MultiDex.lock
I/MultiDex( 4514): /data/data/pkg_name/code_cache/secondary-dexes/MultiDex.lock locked
I/MultiDex( 4514): MultiDexExtractor.load(/data/app/pkg_name-1.apk, false, )
I/MultiDex( 4514): Detected that extraction must be performed.

Try to uninstall your application completely, and ensure that your path /data/data/pkg_name is gone and reinstall your app.
