I have Android Studio Beta. I created a new project with compile my old modules but when I tried launching the app it did not launch with the message:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.
com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex
But I don't know how to solve this error. I googled this for hours but with no success.
My project gradle:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-beta6'
classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:3.7.1"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
My app gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "parad0x.sk.onlyforyou"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
}
}
compileOptions {
targetCompatibility 1.7
sourceCompatibility 1.7
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
}
lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
}
productFlavors {
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
//noinspection GradleCompatible
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0-alpha1'
compile project(path: ':loginregisterview')
}
And my module gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.0.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile project(path: ':parser')
}
My second module:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
realm {
syncEnabled = true
}
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
productFlavors {
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
// compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
// compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.9.0'
// compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.9.0'
// compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.9.0'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.2'
}

When I did not import the second module (parser) the app did not crash on dex but when the module was not imported app did not work. :D :D
I had the same problem when I updated from com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.2
to com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.4.0
. This solved it for me:
And also pay attention if you use more libs add multiDexEnabled true
