:app:dexDebug ExecException finished with non-zero exit value 2

Could anyone help me out with the following error. When i clean the project, it doesn't show any error but every time i try to run i get this message.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

The application was running with no errors but as my system crashed and restarted android studio i had few updates for Android API 22. After the update the application keep giving me this error message. I downloaded JDK 8 and tried to run but didn't work. Later i downgraded to JDK 7 after this stack post but still has not fixed it. Is it possible to use Java 8 for Android development?

I have looked through numerous similar question but none works for me. Some similar issues found on stack were

why java.exe exit with value 1 in android studio

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. > comcommand finished with non-zero exit value 2

Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle

java.exe finished with non-zero exit value 2

Process 'command' C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.8.0_31 \ bin \ java.exe '' finished with a non -zero exit value 2

I have looked through dependencies in gradle built to see if there were any conflict but found none.

I even tried to copy the code into a new project and run it but still no success. Anyone who has faced the same issue and solved it please help me out.

After days of trying out finally could fix the issue. The problem with one of my .jar files. I had to remove each jar and check one by one until i found it. I removed the .jar file and cleaned my project and ran successfully. If any one should face similar issue check your jar file one by one.

I had the same error

app:dexDebug ExecException finished with non-zero exit value 2

i solve it by adding this line of code

defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
}

The reason is that i was using too many libraries

Hope this post will help anyone

I had the same problem when I compiled google play services to my dependencies.

My mistake was I was compiling the enitre package like this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

Instead when I tried the selective compile, it worked.In my case I was using for google sign in,so it had just had to be

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.3.0'.

More details are in the documentaion. https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#split

Hope this will be of a little help to someone someday :)

I know it's late. But that's what actually worked for me.

1. Build > Clean Project
2. Close gradle daemon processes (ps -e| grep gradle  //this will list gradle processes)
3. File > Invalidate caches & Restart

I hope this will work for everyone.

For future readers. If you're using your own AARs and upgraded one that has a shared dependency, you can also just try cleaning the project. In Android Studio "Build" -> "Clean Project".

This solved the issue for me, so I'd recommend giving it a quick try before you start digging for dependencies.

For me the solution was to remove an unnecessary/duplicate dependency entries. This is a similar solution others offered here that makes sense, but not exactly the same solution as those offered by others.

Since I was already including *.jar files in the list of files to be compiled, there was no need for additional entries in the dependencies list.

Before:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
}

After:

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'

}

Remove compile 'com.parse:parse-android:1.+'

add this linecompile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['Parse-*.jar'])

Finally, it will look like this

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['Parse-*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.5.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
}

I was using the robolectric dependency in my android project. I removed all robolectric dependencies in gradle and deleted all my robolectric tests, then I built the app and finally I could run the android project. Hope this can work for us.

I faced the same problem when trying to add the SignalR Java client library to my project's dependencies. I first changed the target JDK of my app from 1.8.0_XX to 1.7.0_XX, but it didn't work. Then I changed the SignalR project to target 1.7.0_XX as well, rebuilt and added it to my project's libs folder instead of the first build (which was in 1.8.0_XX), and that miraculously worked.

For me, the problem was that I was using different versions of "Google Play services sub API's"

I had the same problem, just i did Biuld--> Rebiuld project and it works again ;)

Check if there are 2 classes with same name. Each class name should be unique.

maybe for this issue you got means you added same liberay file in more than one time
