Codename1 Android not building on 3.4

Question

Hey I'm getting a build error on the new library (3.4), but my app is still working fine on 3.3.

The issue looks like it could be related to this:

Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat

I have the android.supportV4 set to false I also have android.gradle set to false

The relvent part of the error log looks like this:

       [dx] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
   [dx] com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;

   [dx]     at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106)

Which is during the dex merging phase.

If I enable Grade I get a different error when building: (this is why I had it disabled)

I can post the codenameone_setting.properties file if that helps

With Codename One the building is done on a remote server, and there is no local build.gradle file, AFAIK — peopletookallthegoodnames, May 27 '16 at 00:12
Also worth noting: build still fails when using gradle on 3.3. I think it has something to do with libraries I'm using. — peopletookallthegoodnames, May 27 '16 at 00:13
Never used codenameone, but I do know that the appcompat-v7 library has a transitive dependency for the v4 library, so that could be one way you have multiple files. — OneCricketeer, May 27 '16 at 00:17
which libs are you adding, can you post your codenameone_settings.properties? — Chen, May 27 '16 at 07:16

if you are using google services in your gradle, try to remove all big package like this one:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'

and try to import only needed ones like this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.0'

here is sample shows that there is no need to import all google services (they are very huge), you need only maps to work with maps.

Try add to gradle:

android {
    dexOptions {
        preDexLibraries = false
    }
}

How does this answer the question? Nothing about play services was mentioned – OneCricketeer May 27 '16 at 00:15
When project become too big in size (usually happens when libs are updated and become bigger) final result cannot be hold in one dex and app must be split to several and you can have such error. right? – Stepan Maksymov May 27 '16 at 00:18
That would explicitly be stated in an error as the 65k dalvik limit has been reached and multidex needs enabled. The error in the question is instead that there is an overlapping v4 support library being included – OneCricketeer May 27 '16 at 00:21
As I mentioned above, Codename One apps are built on a remote server. However this info may be useful to the developers who frequent stack overflow – peopletookallthegoodnames May 27 '16 at 00:59
FYI this is something we already do in Codename One by default – Shai Almog May 29 '16 at 06:51

Make sure you didn't use the build hint android.includeGPlayServices as it is deprecated. See the alternatives here.

Sounds, like the solution. Now my issue is making it work with gradle, any idea what would be causing my gradle issue? – peopletookallthegoodnames May 29 '16 at 21:24
That's for gradle. You need to replace the gplay services with the new hints – Shai Almog May 30 '16 at 03:59
Yes but on the page you linked it says "...only works with the gradle build". Is it not the case that I need gradle enabled to use this? – peopletookallthegoodnames May 30 '16 at 04:38
Yes gradle should be enabled, the old ant support was deprecated by Google so if something fails there they often don't offer a solution – Shai Almog May 31 '16 at 03:56
