Only on Lollipop: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/squareup/picasso/Picasso;

Question

I encounter this problem only on lollipop version. I can run the app easily on versions above lollipop. The error shows up when I run the app in my application file:

Answer 1

If you are using fabric then please remove dependency of picasso from gradle, it will work fine.Try it...

Answer 2

If publishNonDefault true was defined in libs build.gradle, please remove it or make it false. Please try. I have resolved this issue by removing publishNonDefault true in build.gradle of lib which occurred NoClassDefFoundError.

If not working, please add dexOptions { preDexLibraries false }.

Answer 3

You need to install Multidex to run picasso on lower devices

public class MyApplication extends Application {

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

add this in your manifest under application tag

android:name="your.package.name.MyApplication"
