Android Studio Execution failed task: app: preDexDebug '
This strange behavior is happening with my build application.
The weird thing is that this com.nineoldandroids is a jar of Android resource libraries.
I tried removing the build source and recompiling again with no luck.
My buildgradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'crashlytics'
repositories {
maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId "xxxxxxxx"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
// enable crashlytics where you need
buildConfigField "boolean", "USE_CRASHLYTICS", "false"
ext.enableCrashlytics = false
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile project(':library_refreshaction_appcompat')
compile project(':EnhancedListView')
compile project(':library_numberpicker')
compile project(':materialDesign')
compile project(':library_typeface')
compile project(':library_updatechecker')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0'
compile 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.+'
compile 'se.emilsjolander:stickylistheaders:2.5.0'
compile files('libs/Parse-1.7.1.jar')

compile files('libs/bolts-android-1.1.3.jar')

compile files('libs/gson-2.2.4.jar')
compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.2.jar')
compile files('libs/VposAPI.jar')
compile project(':android-support-v4-preferencefragment-master')
}

As related to @zapl Unable to build Android project using Android Studio - Gradle 1.7 , this is strange behavior that has only one way to solve it, as related to this post.
I couldn't say exactly what I did to solve this because I tried a lot of things until it disappeared.
But as the post said, this is the way:
- Invalid resources (Missing attributes, invalid tags, etc.)
- + id in styles
- Duplicated resources / libraries
- Invalid Declare-Style Name
- Invalid resource resource, try different versions of AAPT.
Unknown, like mine. So it would be helpful:
- Find a way to determine the real cause of this error.
- Wait for AAPT update that returns an error
- Enter a list of possible common causes.
