MultiDex NoClassDefFound error

Question

I have converted my application into MultiDex to bear with 64k dex limit. Now it looks like this:

public class App extends MultiDexApplication {

private App         


        

Answer 1

If you're extending the MultiDexApplication you don't need to make the MultiDex.install(context) call as it's already happening (see source link). If you need to use attachBaseContext then just make sure to call super.attachBaseContext(context).

We just updated developers.android.com with instructions on how to use the support library with the Android gradle plugin including an development optimization for quick development build cycle times.
