Error converting bytecode to dex:

Question

I am facing this error since i have updated my android studio to 2.2.1.

Error: Error converting bytecode to dex: Cause: Dex cannot parse version 52 byte code. This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above.

So far i have tried:

cleaning and building the project
adding " sourceCompatibility = "1.7" targetCompatibility = "1.7" " to the gradle file.

Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem.

can you post your gradle file? – AbhayBohra Oct 18 '16 at 11:59 — AbhayBohra, Oct 18 '16 at 11:59

You should use JDK 1.8.0_92

You are getting

Error: Error converting bytecode to dex: Cause: Dex cannot parse version 52 byte code. This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above.

Then you can set below in your gradle section .

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }

Clean-Rebuild. Hope this helps you .
