NoClassDefFoundError for OkHttpClient

After adding the facebook dependency in gradle I'm getting this runtime error:

     compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.6.0'

Please notice that I'm also using okhttp:

    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.5.0'

and error log is:

 E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-109754
     Process: com.venkat.project, PID: 4453

Note: I'm getting this error on Samsung mobile 4.4 but on the emulator and on moto g 5.0 it works.


The latest version of Piccasso use an older version of Okhttp, you need to use a new dependency

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.2.0'
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'    
compile 'com.jakewharton.picasso:picasso2-okhttp3-downloader:1.0.2'

Example:

File httpCacheDirectory = new File(getCacheDir(), "picasso-cache");
Cache cache = new Cache(httpCacheDirectory, 10 * 1024 * 1024);

OkHttpClient.Builder clientBuilder = new OkHttpClient.Builder().cache(cache);
Picasso.Builder picassoBuilder = new Picasso.Builder(getApplicationContext());
picassoBuilder.downloader(new OkHttp3Downloader(clientBuilder.build()));
Picasso picasso = picassoBuilder.build();
try {
   Picasso.setSingletonInstance(picasso);
} catch (IllegalStateException ignored) {
  Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Picasso instance already used");
}

You are getting

       java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.squareup.okhttp.internal.Util
        at com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient.<clinit>(OkHttpClient.java:57)
        at com.venkat.project.http.MyHTTPThread.run(MyHTTPThread.java:127)

NoClassDefFoundError for OkHttpClient

public class NoClassDefFoundError extends LinkageError

Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found.

Quote from NoClassDefFoundError

You should use

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.10.0'

After that you can get this error finished with non-zero exit value 2

Then

defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 14 //lower than 14 doesn't support multidex
    targetSdkVersion //Yours

    // Enabling multidex support.
    multiDexEnabled true
}

dependencies {
 implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
  1. Add multiDexEnabled true

  2. Call implementation'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2'

OkHttp perseveres when the network is troublesome: it will silently recover from common connection problems. If your service has multiple IP addresses OkHttp will attempt alternate addresses if the first connect fails. This is necessary for IPv4+IPv6 and for services hosted in redundant data centers.

You can call latest version

implementation'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.2.0'

Then

Clean and Re-Build & Sync Your Project . Hope this helps .
