DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /xxx/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/play-services-location-11.2.2.aar

When I try to compile my project I get this weird error:
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':android:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForProdDevelopmentDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /Users/.../.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/play-services-location-11.2.2.aar/f5b9886774f73d8b64cfd9701f91e8cc/jars/classes.jar
What I tried:
Added multiDexEnabled true to app gradle.
Added android.enableD8.desugaring = true and android.enableD8=true to gradle.properties
Also removed .gradle folder and did rebuild + clean
Also did the following: SDK manager -> Google play services -> updated. Rebuild + clean afterwards.

}

You are using all play-services with versions 15.x.x, and error is mentioning 11.2.2, this means that some other library is bringing in this dependency.
This type of error can be solved by following steps:
run ./gradlew :app:dependencies command in terminal. (This will generate dependency hierarchy)
Check for the dependency bringing in play-services-location dependency and exclude it from that dependency like below:
compile ('<dependency-bringing-play-services-location>') {
exclude group:'com.google.android.gms'
}
Add play-services location dependency explicitly.

Android error while building apk : dex-dexexception-multiple-dex-files

While building APK for my android app the following error is shown:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/firebase/iid/zzb;
I couldn't find what the error was. My module:app gradle file is:

}
I read somewhere that Unless you have an absolute need to enable multiDex in your build.gradle DO NOT DO IT!
But when i removed the line from gradle file,
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.1'
then building apk was successful.
Since i need firebase in my application, this wouldn't be a solution for me.
can anyone help me?

You need to use same version of dependencies
Use this
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:11.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.0'
Instead of this
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:11.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.1'

Error:Lambda coming from jar file need their interfaces on the classpath to be compiled, unknown interfaces are java.util.function.Function

I am writing android project. Some of the external libraries requires the use of Java8. However, when I add Java8 using Jack, the project isn't recognizing the components of Java8. What might be the problem?

And here is the error list
Errorlist

You use
multiDexEnabled true
Add above link to AndroidManifest.xml:
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
OR
MultiDex.install(this);
in your custom Application's attachBaseContext method
or your custom Application extend MultiDexApplication
and add above
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
Hope it help.

You can use this gradle plugin for getting java lambda support in java 6, 7 and android
Just add: apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'
line in your app level build.gradle file below the line: apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
Now in your project level build.gradle add :
classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.6.0'
in your dependencies section
EG:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'
classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.6.0'
}
And sync it :)

i tried by cleaning the project
Build - > Clean
after that rebuild, But no effect
The i sync and clean the project, still no result.
Finally i restart the android studio, but the issue still exciting.
Can any one please help me

I think this is because you use compile files('libs/android-support-v13.jar') and compile 'com.android.support:design:24.0.0' may be this library are conflicting with each other.
Exclude part of library which is common in both of them.
Using exclude
e.g.
compile('com.commonsware.cwac:camera-v9:0.5.4') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Replace
compile files('libs/android-support-v13.jar')
with
com.android.support:support-v13:24.0.0
You added the design library, which also makes use of the support-v4 lib. If you add both via maven-dependency, this should be handled by gradle.

Replace
compile files('libs/android-support-v13.jar')
with
com.android.support:support-v13:24.0.0
Apply this in gradle also add packagingOptions
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:23'
buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"
compileOptions.encoding = 'windows-1251'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "org.radiomango.app"
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 23
multiDexEnabled true
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' // will not include NOTICE file
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' // will not include LICENSE file
}
dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
preDexLibraries = false
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles 'proguard.cfg'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.2'
compile files('libs/acra-4.5.0.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
complie `com.android.support:support-v13:24.0.0` //or you used 23.4.0
compile files('libs/org.apache.commons.httpclient.jar')
compile files('libs/org.apache.http.legacy.jar')
compile project(':seekArc_library')
compile project(':socialauthandroid')
compile project(':SwipeMenuListView')
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.0.0'//or you used compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
}

Exclude lib from jar in gradle file

I try launch android project and get error
Error Code: 2
Output: UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/annotation/AnimRes;
My gradle file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

defaultConfig {
applicationId "nit.livetex.livetexsdktestapp"
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {

proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
}
dependencies {
compile files("libs/sdk.jar")
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'
}
I think It occurs because of using support-library in sdk.jar.
Where I should add exclude rule?

I am not sure but can you try that please?
compile('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
or
compile files("libs/sdk.jar"){
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
