Android - Multidexenable=true Causes Picasso To Crash

I've used MultiDexEnable=true command in my gradle file to integrate the cometChat sdk . But Picasso library which was running fine is crashing now giving the following error. Can

Solution 1:

make your application class like bellow

publicclassMyAppClassextendsMultiDexApplication{
@OverrideprotectedvoidattachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
        MultiDex.install(newBase);
        super.attachBaseContext(newBase);
    }
}

add this library in your dependencies

dependencies {
     compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'//    your dependencies which you are using.

}

Solution 2:

You need to handle Multiple dex file after enabling that option from build.gradle

& if in your project are you using Application class than extend it by with MultiDexApplication & handle multiple dex file in attachBaseContext

To install MultiDex.install i refer android developer link

Eg.

publicclassMyAppClassextendsMultiDexApplication{
@OverrideprotectedvoidattachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
        MultiDex.install(newBase);
        super.attachBaseContext(newBase);
    }
}

Declare MyAppClass in your AndroidManfiest file application name.

<application
        android:name="MyAppClass"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
//... your other manifest declaration
</application>

Updated gradle

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.edesign.astutesol.eyesapp"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true

    }

        }
    }*/
    dexOptions {
          jumboMode = true
        incremental true
        // here heap size give 4g i got this thing from https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adt-dev/P_TLBTyFWVY

        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'compile'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
    //your dependencies which you are using.

}

Suggestion

Use only required play service library do not add entire Group of play service . Refer this link. it will reduce the number of method count & unused library too.

Example

compile'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

with these lines(add artifactId (group) according to the required feature like play-services-fitnessplay-services-wearable etc):

compile'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:8.4.0'compile'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0'
