Error: execution failed for task ': app: transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: .. non-zero output value 3

Question

After Clear project → Rebuild project my android project. I get below the error

Error: execution completed for task ': app: transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command' / usr / lib / jvm / java-7- oracle / bin / java '' with non-zero output value 3

Gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.1" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.myapplicationname.app" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" multiDexEnabled true } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' } useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0' compile files('libs/gcm.jar') compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.4' compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') { exclude module: "httpclient" } //facebook sdk compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0' compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.3' compile 'com.paypal.sdk:paypal-android-sdk:2.12.4' //facebook sdk compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0' } 

I already refer to this one , this one , but I can’t get my solution. What do I need to fix it.

Answer 1

I am just updating my gradle file as shown below. This work is like a charm !!

I added the code below in gradle:

 dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" //specify the heap size for the dex process preDexLibraries = false //delete the already predexed libraries } 

My updated gradle :

  apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.1" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.myapplicationname.app" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" multiDexEnabled true } //====================Add below two line============= dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" //specify the heap size for the dex process preDexLibraries = false //delete the already predexed libraries } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' } useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0' compile files('libs/gcm.jar') compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.4' compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') { exclude module: "httpclient" } //facebook sdk compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0' compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.3' compile 'com.paypal.sdk:paypal-android-sdk:2.12.4' //facebook sdk compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0' }

A possible solution might be to specify the game services you are using

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0' 

for example, for example:

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0' 

This will reduce the total number of methods.
