DexException
suggest changecom.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/example/lib/Class;
This error occurs because the app, when packaging, finds two .dex
files that define the same set of methods.
Usually this happens because the app has accidentally acquired 2 separate dependencies on the same library.
For instance, say you have a project, and you want to rely on two libraries: A
and B
, which each have their own dependencies. If library B
already has a dependency on library A
, this error will be thrown if library A
is added to the project by itself. Compiling library B
already gave the set of code from A
, so when the compiler goes to bundle library A
, it finds library A
’s methods already packaged.
To resolve, make sure that none of your dependencies could accidentally be added twice in such a manner
