FAILURE: Gradle Build failed with an exception

Question

I have included the new Android library module (dmxmediapicker) project into my currently working library project (Myapplication), which I have used as a library for my Android module (NormalProject). But after including the Library module, gradle failed to build, and also it showed the The input line is too long exception. How do I fix this?

Exception

:Myapplication:preDexDevDebug
:Myapplication:dexDevDebug
The input line is too long.

 FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':Myapplication:dexDevDebug'.

I think the directory names are quite large and windows doesnt support that long commands. Try to move your android project in D: drive not in any folder on D: . Might work! — varun, Dec 22 '14 at 15:11

After installing openjdk-11-jdk my problem solved

sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk

NOTE: before installing jdk11 uninstall any other jdks

For example

sudo apt autopurge openjdk-19-jdk:amd64 openjdk-19-jdk-headless:amd64 openjdk-19-jre:amd64 openjdk-19-jre-headless:amd64

This will solve your problem

In Android Studio, go to Tools->SDK manager and see that your android version is downloaded or not (for whatever emulator you have chosen as your virtual device). If not download it and play the emulator again.

This should work now!!

In my case, the files of my android folder was misconfigured as I did some changes before. I Just created a new flutter app and copied the android folder from the new created app and pasted it to my previous flutter project and that worked.

I know this is not an appropriate way to solve the problem but at least this solution could be useful in case you need to make it quick.
