Gradle build error Error converting bytecode to dex:Cause: com.android.dex.DexException:Multiple dex files define Landroid/arch/lifecycle/liveData$1

Question

From last 3 days I\'m getting this error and have tried all i could. Can anyone help me correct it. I\'m using Android 3.0 and my sdk and Google play services are updated as wel

Answer 1

I updated libraries with new version. Need to declare all the android base libraries in the same version(If you update some libraries with new version and using some in older one will cause this kind of exception).

    ext { archLifecycleVersion = '1.1.0'}

dependencies {
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:$rootProject.archLifecycleVersion"
annotationProcessor "android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:$rootProject.archLifecycleVersion"}
