Crash at runtime after migrating to Android Studio ( NoSuchMethodError )

Question

I migrated to Android studio, everything seemed ok up until I tried to run the app. It got stuck in the Launcher activity and then crashed, printing:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No direct method <init>(ILjava/lang/String;)V in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/api/Status; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.api.Status' appears in /data/data/com.MY PACKAGE/files/instant-run/dex/slice-google-play-........b-classes.dex)

Of course.. I migrated a working project from Eclipse, with all its folder, manfiests ,etc. — BVtp, Apr 18 '16 at 11:03

For me it was the Problem, that the versions of different of my play service dependencies differed, like

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0' /different version
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.2'
}

should be changed to

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.2'
}

I hope it works for you or somebody running into the same issue.

add this line to your manifest file

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

and also add this to your gradle

defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 21
    ...

    // Enabling multidex support.
    multiDexEnabled true
}

second solution:

add this to your launcher activity's onCreate() method

public void onCreate(Bundle arguments) {
 Context context = this.getInstrumentation().getTargetContext().getApplicationContext();
  MultiDex.install(context );
  super.onCreate(arguments);
...
}

or

needed to add this in class that extends Application:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

for more detail : link 1 , link 2 , link 3, link 4

Hope it works..

`Context context = this.getInstrumentation().getTargetContext().getApplicationContext();` — Tanim reja, Apr 18 '16 at 12:18
I tried just passing 'this' to MultiDex.install. didn't work — BVtp, Apr 18 '16 at 12:22

For me, I got similar crash of missing method, because I had to update recently added library version in my build.gradle file.

Add google play services dependencies

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'//update with latest version
}

or this,

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'//update with latest version

Clean the project & rebuild

Adding `compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4'` worked for me – Brandon Jul 28 '17 at 15:53
@Brandon Good to hear that, updating with latest version works at times. – Anurag Aug 04 '17 at 06:23
