I'm currently developping an Android app using Android Studio. Currently, the app is launching perfectly on Lollipop devices, but crashes at launch due to a ClassNotFoundException on pre-lollipop devices (i've tested on ICS and it fail).
The missing class is always from an external librairies at runtime.
Here's the gradle file :
buildscript {

maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }

classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
}

I'm currently out of solution for now. Any clue about that would be appreciated.
Thanks, Regards.
1) Add multidex support to your app:
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
2) Set your application as a MultiDexApplication. Select one of the options below:
This is the source code of android's MultiDexApplication class:
public class MultiDexApplication extends Application {
public MultiDexApplication() {
}
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
Option 1) You can extend your custom application from MultiDexApplication:
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication {
// Your application implementation here
}
Option 2) You can extend your custom application from default Application class, then you need to call MultiDex.install at attachBaseContext(Context base) method:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
// Your application implementation here
}
Option 3) If you don't have any custom application and you don't want any, simply set your application name (at AndroidManifest.xml) to MultiDexApplication:
<?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>
Note: If you are using a custom application class (see Option1 and Option2), application tag's android:name must already be set to your custom application class.
3) Add multiDexEnabled true setting to your build.gradle file:
defaultConfig {
// Other settings here
multiDexEnabled true
}
