Execution failed for task ':tweetLanes:dexDebug'

Question

I am using Android Studio to run this code, get the error: *Error:Execution failed for task ':tweetLanes:dexDebug'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_75.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 2*

2 days couldn't solve the problem. Tried everything I can find online, nothing helped and always the same error.

Here is the build.gradle :

*

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 17
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile project(':tLSocialNetLib')
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
    compile files('libs/basic-http-client-android-0.88.jar')
    compile files('libs/crittercism_v4_3_0_sdkonly.jar')
    compile files('libs/dashclock-api-r1.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/prime-0.6.1.jar')
}

Your app classes maybe contain over 65K methods.

Add configurations into your build.gradle,

  defaultConfig {
        ...
        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
  }

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

In your manifest add the MultiDexApplication class from the multidex support library to the application element,

<application
    ...
    android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
    ...
</application>

Or, If your app uses extends the Application class, you can override the attachBaseContext() method and call MultiDex.install(this) to enable multidex. For more information, see the MultiDexApplication reference documentation.

If you have support-v4 and support-v7 in build.gradle then add this line into your build.gradle at top after plugin declaration.

configurations { all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' }
