Why project doesn't compile on Android Studio 1.5.1?

Question

Previously, there were no problems. I put a fresh Android Studio 1.5.1 for OS X 10.11 and gives this error:

Many have tried to solve the problem. Nothing helps. Tell me what could be wrong?

=============

I found a place where there is an error (in module media_webbrowser). An error at this point, when passed into the method of the new object interface: http://pastebin.com/jpUBznZ5

When passing null then there is no error: http://pastebin.com/Ewi7jz0q

============

Problem was solved by installing jdk8 instead of jdk7

it seems like you might be over the dex limit, try compiling the multidex library and enable multidex — thepoosh, Jan 25 '16 at 12:30
Post gradles of your modules: download_manager, media_webbrowser, android_tools. — Sufian, Jan 25 '16 at 13:54
@Sufian updated question (gradles of modules: download_manager, media_webbrowser, android_tools) — alex-v, Jan 25 '16 at 13:59
Not sure if it is the case. Always keep same buildToolsVersion. Replace `buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'` with `buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'` in all files. If no success, try [switching to multidex](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26609734/how-to-enable-multidexing-with-the-new-android-multidex-support-library). — Sufian, Jan 25 '16 at 14:03
@Sufian I found a place where there is an error (question updated) — alex-v, Jan 26 '16 at 06:04
@alex-v Is the `LicenseManager` from Android SDK? Never used it. I guess you have to read its API. — Sufian, Jan 26 '16 at 09:40
@Sufian It is my class. Problem was solved by installing jdk8 instead of jdk7. — alex-v, Jan 26 '16 at 09:45
@alex-v post it as answer and mark it. Really weird error by Gradle. — Sufian, Jan 26 '16 at 09:51

remove compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' from build gradle file and try again

Because you have to use full Google play service lib or separate parts of Google play service. use one of them.

below is used full Google play service libs

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

so if you are using separate portion of Google play service( like com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0) then no need to add that.

that's why your app dex size increase Over 65K Methods

From documentation

Selectively compiling APIs into your executable

In versions of Google Play services prior to 6.5, you had to compile the entire package of APIs into your app. In some cases, doing so made it more difficult to keep the number of methods in your app (including framework APIs, library methods, and your own code) under the 65,536 limit.

From version 6.5, you can instead selectively compile Google Play service APIs into your app. For example, to include only the Google Fit and Android Wear APIs, replace the following line in your build.gradle file:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' with these lines:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:8.4.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0'

@alex-v try clean build. I really believe the solution suggested should really work. – Sufian Jan 25 '16 at 12:37
The error stems from the fact that you used in the project more than 65k methods – Android Android Jan 25 '16 at 12:42
Leaving only the line compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' and it did not help. Tried clean build. – alex-v Jan 25 '16 at 12:52
@AndroidAndroid How to fix it? – alex-v Jan 25 '16 at 12:52
@DhawalSodhaParmar updated question (full gradle console messages and fixed build.gradle) – alex-v Jan 25 '16 at 13:00
@alex-v: remove this compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' and use separate module com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0 whatever you have used previous.again try rebuild & clean – Dhaval Parmar Jan 25 '16 at 13:03
@DhawalSodhaParmar Maybe the problem is that the source code of the project is very large? And it must be solved in another way? – alex-v Jan 25 '16 at 13:15
Clean and rebuid did not help – alex-v Jan 25 '16 at 13:20
@alex-v: may be its possible if your app have lost of methods more then 65k or your app + Google play service >= 65k?? – Dhaval Parmar Jan 26 '16 at 03:59
@DhawalSodhaParmar I found a place where there is an error (question updated) – alex-v Jan 26 '16 at 06:04

Perhaps you're seeing this issue?

I'll copy the solution from that post here, just in case the link breaks in the future.

If you compile with "--info --debug" and notice an out-of-memory error, adding this block to gradle.build should resolve it.

android {
    dexOptions {
        incremental = true;
        preDexLibraries = false
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g" // 2g should be also OK
    }
}

Added this solution to app build.grudle, but still a compilation error: failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug' (updated question) – alex-v Jan 26 '16 at 04:30
