Not sure where i am getting this exception from. any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Solution 1:

This worked for me:

1. If you haven't already, update your 'Google Play Services' to Revision 30 from Android SDK Manager > Extras.

2. And then add the line compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' to your dependancies (or simply remove multiDexEnabled true if not required)

3. Add this attribute to the application tag in manifest: android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
   If you already have a custom application class defined in Android Manifest, extend it from MultiDexApplication instead of Application

Hope it helped!

Solution 2:

Using latest Google Play services but was not working. For me this procedure is working:

1. Updated my Application class:

   public class App extends Application {
     @Override
     protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
       super.attachBaseContext(base);
       MultiDex.install(this);
    }
   }
   

2. Updated build.gradle file:

   defaultConfig {
       ...
       multiDexEnabled true
   }
   

3. Included dependencies:

   dependencies {
     compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
   }
