Getting Exception : Java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: Android.support.v7.app.appcompatdelegateimplv14

I updated Android Studio and the android design library recently since then I am getting an exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV1

Solution 1:

I resolved this issue and if anyone is experiencing this issue try these options(3rd point fixed my problem):

1. Add multiDexEnabled true in defaultConfig of build.gradle.

   defaultConfig { applicationId "com.something.ranjith.androidprojdel" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 22 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" multiDexEnabled true }

2. Remove android support library if your activity extends `AppcompatActivity'

   compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.+' //remove this

3. If you have PlayServices in your app then remove the PlayServices and add the individual APIs. For eg:- if you are using PlayServices for ads then just add compile com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.5.0 instead of compile com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0

List of individual APIs of PlayServices:
