Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - multidex not work properly

Question

I've installed multidex solution in my android app project and in "Google Play Dev" people encounter errors like this:

java.lang.RuntimeException:

As far as I know, I've installed multidex correctly (readed other sources about this error & multidex)

Things I did:

1. MyApplication class inherits from MultiDexApplication

2. gradle file:

   android { defaultConfig { multiDexEnabled true } dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "2048M" } }

   dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' }

Yes. I use proguard.

Answer 1

update manifest like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

You need to follow this steps if problem with your MultiDex then it resolve:

Step 1: Add dependency to your app level build.gradle.
defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2'
}

step 2: You need to create application class.
public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        MultiDex.install(this);
        super.onCreate();
    }

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

}

step 3: You need to Configure MyApplication class to Manifest file.
<application
        android:name=".MyApplication "
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</application>
