BufferOverflowException when building application

Question

Everytime i want to run my Android application i get a error:

[2013-11-02 13:05:36 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: java.nio.BufferOverflowException. Check the Eclipse log for stack trace.
[2013-11-02 13:05:36 - **********] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: java.nio.BufferOverflowException. Check the Eclipse log for stack trace.

I google'd it but haven't found anything. I have set the permsize to 512m, Xms1024m and Xmx2048m. I'm using v22.0.0-675183.

.Log:

Have you recently installed build tools version 19.0.0? If so see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19741260/build-tools-why-so-many-versions and the link in that — NickT, Nov 02 '13 at 12:17
Oh, then it's not version 19 of the build tools then. I've just updated to kitkat and my builds were ok until then, when I got the same error as you. Deleting build tools 19 fixed it for me. Sorry I can't help further — NickT, Nov 02 '13 at 12:26

I was able to get my problem project to build by adding this extra line:

sdk.buildtools=18.1.1

...to my project.properties file, which is present in the root of the project folder. All other approaches seemed to fail for me.

After the installation of the new sdk, there is a new folder "Android Dependencies" under your project file. If you right click and remove it from build path, you will be able to build again your project.

None of the above answers worked but his worked for me. Thank you! – Mahendra Liya Nov 12 '13 at 07:36
I have been going answer-by-answer through this thread. This is the first one that worked. I was nervous about blindly removing folders from my project, but it worked. – Phillip Scott Givens Dec 07 '13 at 17:40
Same here, all of the above didn't work but this saved me more than once. Thank you so much! – Blodyavenger Jan 09 '14 at 20:57

this is currently a solution until Google fix the build tools version 19. Apparently there are many users getting this error and issue was opened in [issue tracker](https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61710). I too had to revert to v18 build tools – aviv Nov 05 '13 at 19:38
Thanks man. This is a valid answer. I've lost almost half an hour of precious time due to Google's incompetence. Almost always I upgrade SDK my workspaces stop working. – Mister Smith Nov 13 '13 at 08:57
This does answer the question. There are possibilities to restart the processes when unexpected errors occurs. – Suresh Atta Jan 04 '14 at 09:47
