DexDebug error

[AndyOHart]

Hi.
I get around 8 or so issues relating to Dependency, for example:

Warning:Dependency org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.3.5 is ignored for debug as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.

Also I noticed that JReddit implements an ridiculous number of External Libraries.
I think this is the main reason for my error, which is:

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

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_31.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

How could I resolve this? Is it something that could be fixed with proguard?

hey @AndyOHart , can you check out this guy and see if you experience the same issues afterwards? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29016282/jreddit-and-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-error/30196299#30196299 I've created in /examples in this repo where I have configured a dummy android app with the same configuration in gradle.

It got rid of the dependency issues but I still can't run it.
I get this:

I think this might be the problem.

Not really an android expert, but this thing seems to suck as far as I can see

[AndyOHart]

Why is there so many methods? The project works fine without including the JReddit library. It's only when I add that in I reach the dex limit

[sfat]

Probably it takes into consideration methods from the jreddit library or something like that. I can't really explain, I am not an android developer myself, sorry.

[AndyOHart]

No worries, appreciate the help, hopefully some other Android dev has ran into it and fixed it.

[sfat]

Have you tried the suggestion of switching to MultiDex, as suggested from the links I provided?

[AndyOHart]

That did fix the error yeah, thanks. I'm just not sure if there is a better way of doing it
