I recently hit this problem and my solution was to write wrappers for the library jar and include it in the assets directory. I also wrote a blog post explaining it with a sample project on github. Hope it helps. http://birbit.com/how-to-solve-linearalloc-problem/

Answer 2

In Android 2.3.x I have this error. I don't know for sure if it's because the number of classes/methods of the App, or because complex hierarchy that I have that. I get rid of the source of Glide library and the error gone away. If I remember right, this library has working well in previous releases of my App, before I have grow up in class/method size.

Here make me think it would be the reason:

Answer 3

It's a limitation in Dalvik triggered on unusually complex interface hierarchies.

See the details for ideas on working around. Simple answer might be to try using different libraries that are less complex.

A fix has been merged into Android AOSP. https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/30900/
