I keep on getting the NoClassDefFoundError on other test device (4.4.2) that I'm using. But works fine on my test device (Android 5.1).
I tried the solutions that I've googled and nothing seems to work.
I'm using Firebase Realtime Database. Can somebody please help?
Here is the error log:

This is what solved the problem for me:
Add compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2' to
app/build.gradle.
Add android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" to the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml.
If you are using a custom Application class, skip the
AndroidManifest.xml and make your Application class extend MultiDexApplication instead of Application.
This bug is reported with newer versions mostly arround Revision 28,29 and its resolved in newer Play services versions so if you having this issue then make sure you have updated version of Google Play service in your Android studio. as older versions have it. To update Play services version..
Follow these steps:
Go to Android SDK Manager
Go to Extra here you will find as shown in image below, update it to latest version and try to run project.
Then if you are using MultiDex in your Application,then make sure you have correctly done it.
In you App level Build.Gradle file use this code multiDexEnabled true
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.reversebits.tapanhp.saffer"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true
}
Apply MultiDex dependency in dependencies inside Same file.
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}
Then inside your AndroidMenifest.xml file make sure that Application tag have name of MultiDexApplication.
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
android:allowBackup="true">
Note
if you have your own Application class and you are using it in your menifest file then you can initialize multidex in your Application class as follows,
public class AppClass extends Application {
//this will initialize multidex in your own Application class
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
Thanks to TapanHP above I got this working quickly for me:
Short Answer:
I had multiDexEnabled= true set in my app/build.gradle file and this ran fine on Android 5.x.x above but any test device with 4.x.x (kit kat) would throw a critical error "Unfortunately, YourAppName has stopped."
Debugger showed:
Could not find class 'com.google.firebase.FirebaseOptions' ....
Note: I also have a custom class that extends Application.
My Solution:
Added the following code to my custom Application class
import android.support.multidex.MultiDex;
public class YourCustomApplication extends Application {
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
...
}
No more critical crash.
I have the same problem, with this I have solved:

You must replace android:name=".app" with android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

What can cause this error for class DrawableWrapper from the support lib?
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class
"android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.DrawableWrapper" on path:
DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.example.banyan.tasty-
1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]
Try updating your support library to 27.1.0.
Make sure all of your "com.android.support:*" dependencies are at the same version.
Looks like one of the support libraries uses something that is missing in the other one.
i fixed same error updating version
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2'
To
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
I started getting this exception in Android 5 and Android 4 users after removing com.android.support-v13 from my build.gradle file:
configurations.all {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v13'
}
I removed the above exclude configuration and no longer saw this crash.
In my case, I used support library version '27.0.2' for my project. It was working perfectly. However, when I copy & paste the project to different location and I opened in Android studio. That time, android studio added below line in build.gradle (path: MyProject/app/build.gradle)
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
Then I got the below exception.
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.DrawableWrapper" on path: DexPathList
I removed the line from build.gradle (MyProject/app/build.gradle). Now it is working fine.
Try this:
import android.support.v7.graphics.drawable.DrawableWrapper;
import android.support.v7.graphics.drawable.DrawableWrapper;
or
import android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.WrappedDrawable; will help.
Also, when you use Drawable inner = ((WrappedDrawable) drawable).getWrappedDrawable();, you can add #SuppressLint("RestrictedApi") above your method.
Try:
enable D8
if you using
AS 3.1
I am using FileProvider in my app. As usual I declared <Provider> tag in AndroidManifest.xml file as below.
<provider

android:authorities="com.jk.android.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
When I run it on android device which has lollipop version it works fine. when I try it on kitkat version it shows following errors:

If you have migrated to AndroidX you have to change the name in AndroidManifest.xml to androidx.core.content.FileProvider
That was the crash in my case.
I have the same question, and this documentation solve my problem.
https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidexandroid multidex
before android 5.0, you must use follow ways to multidex:
android {
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 28
multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
and then modify application, select any one of three ways:
if you not implement application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapp">
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
...
</application>
</manifest>
if you have custom application, you can modify like this:
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication { ... }
if you have replace base application, you can modify like this:
public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherApplication {
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
Hope this can solve you problem.
The following code works for me (I've migrated to AndroidX):
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true"
tools:ignore="WrongManifestParent">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
in my project when set "multiDexEnabled" false, error fixed.
go to manifest and add
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled false
}}
hope this is helpful
Just delete the intermediates folder.
After thorough reading of Android Multidex documentation, I found that there is one configuration we generally miss which causes java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. If you have done regular multidex configuration for 65K reference limit and and still unable to get rid of java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError then you must follow these steps.
Create a file called multidex-config.txt at app level(same directory as the build.gradle file)
Add following line (the absolute class name for which you are getting exception)
android.support.v4.content.FileProvider
Modify your build.gradle as follow
android {
buildTypes {
release {
multiDexKeepFile file('multidex-config.txt')
...
}
}
}
Note : You can add it for specific build type or both by declaring it in defaultConfig.
What happens when you build a multidex enabled app :
The Android build tools construct a primary DEX file (classes.dex) and supporting DEX files (classes2.dex, classes3.dex, and so on) as needed. The build system then packages all DEX files into your APK.
At runtime, the multidex APIs use a special class loader to search all of the available DEX files for your methods (instead of searching only in the main classes.dex file).
Cause of Exception :
When building each DEX file for a multidex app, the build tools perform complex decision-making to determine which classes are needed in the primary DEX file so that your app can start successfully. If any class that's required during startup is not provided in the primary DEX file, then your app crashes with the error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
This shouldn't happen for code that's accessed directly from your app code because the build tools recognize those code paths, but it can happen when the code paths are less visible such as when a library you use has complex dependencies. For example, if the code uses introspection or invocation of Java methods from native code, then those classes might not be recognized as required in the primary DEX file.
So if you receive java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, then you must manually specify these additional classes as required in the primary DEX file by declaring them with the multiDexKeepFile (shown above) or the multiDexKeepProguard (refer documentation) property in your build type. If a class is matched in either the multiDexKeepFile or the multiDexKeepProguard file, then that class is added to the primary DEX file.
For complete documentation on multidex refer https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex
Click to AndroidManifest.xml look at the bottom of the files page you gonna see "Text" and "Merged Manifes" then click to "Merged Manifest" -> Search for "android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" then change it with "androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
Thats it, exact solution.
change
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
to
<provider android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
tested and works for me
FileProvider was introduced with Android API Level 22 which is Lollipop, that is why you did not face the ClassNotFoundException when testing on a Lollipop device. Android Kitkat does not have the FileProvider class and hence you are facing the exception. If you are looking to access files this post should help you out

I was facing the same issue, is related to the 64k limit "multidex".
I was using multiDexEnabled true property in build.gradle in defaultConfig block, under android one.
As stated in Google documentation
for devices with Android API prior to 21, we need to include the multidex library (implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2')
and extend MultiDexApplication in our Application class
I have solved this problem by doing the following:
In the Application class:
#Override
public void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
try {
MultiDex.install(this);
} catch (RuntimeException multiDexException) {
multiDexException.printStackTrace();
}
}
We were having the same issue, and disabling instant run in Android Studio seemed to get it working.
On mac
Android Studio Settings or Preferences -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Instant Run.
By looking at this part...
Didn't find class ... on path: DexPathList ... dalvik.system.BaseDexClassLoader.findClass(BaseDexClassLoader.java:67)
of the stack trace you can figure out that your test device is probably pre-Lollipop (Android 5.0) and that you just hit the 64k limit. You can fix it as described here.
This could be an issue with Instant Run. Turn off the Instant Run and run the build again. I faced the same issue and it resolved it.
When minifyEnabled is true while using firebase or crashlytics this problem may happens. Enabling minifyEnabled shrinks methods and classes names to lowest possible characters (changing names and that raises ClassNotFoundException). Unfortunately, firebase and crashlytics versions had many problem with that. To solve it just tell proguard to not shrink those classes by writing the next lines in proguard file "proguard-rules.pro" as:
-keep class com.crashlytics.** { *; }
-keep class com.google.firebase.*.* { *; }
Now if the problem not go away or it didn't find other classes like yours, then check your base project build.gradle dependencies version of gradle and others. I found these version is free of that error:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.1'
}
Remeber you can put any classes path into that proguard file so it did not change its name or methods when minify is enabled, and that will help you with other classes "ClassNotFoundException" as well.
Also to test this in debugging, you can adjust debug setting in build.gradle as:
buildTypes {
release {
debuggable false
minifyEnabled true
shrinkResources true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
debuggable true
minifyEnabled true
shrinkResources true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
Just one more case:
In my case, I disabled instant run, added multiDexEnabled true in my gradle, and added the 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3' to my dependencies, called the MultiDex.install(this); directly in my custom application, but I still got the same error. The error only occurs in the system Android 4.4. Everything works well on Android 7.0 and 9.0.
Finally, moving the MultiDex.install(this); from the onCreate(Context) method to the attachBaseContext(Context) solved my problem.
So, you should call MultiDex.install(this); in attachBaseContext(Context) instead of onCreate(Context) when you don't plan to extend the MultiDexApplication directly.
If this happens when you run with minifyEnabled true, add this rule in your proguard-rules.pro file:
-keep public class com.crashlytics.android.CrashlyticsInitProvider
I was following the Firebase guide to adding FCM, and so I added the following dependencies to my app gradle:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
And this one to my project gradle:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
After this, I added the google-services.json from the Firebase console settings by downloading it and adding it to my app directory.
Now I'm getting this error:
Error:The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.
Learn how to resolve this issue at https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
If I follow the instructions and have my application to support multidex, my application crashes as soon as it launches.

One possible way to avoid 64k Dex error is by including only those APIs which your app needs from Google Play Services.
Selectively compiling APIs into your executable
From version 6.5, you can instead selectively compile Google Play service APIs into your app. For example, to include only the Google Fit and Android Wear APIs, replace the following line in your build.gradle file:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
with these lines:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:9.0.0'
UPDATED
Well I read the doc, which says
Apps that rely on the Play Services SDK should always check the device for a compatible Google Play services APK before accessing Google Play services features
So you only need to check Google Play Service is available or not. And to do this you only need Google Actions, Base Client Library API.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.0.0'
as explained in documentation use Selectively compiling APIs into your executable which is best approach for you(take it in first priority insted of Multi Dex), because Multi-dex have some limitations check before proceed.
Avoiding the 64K Limit - Proguard will help you
Before configuring your app to enable use of 64K or more method
references, you should take steps to reduce the total number of
references called by your app code, including methods defined by your
app code or included libraries. The following strategies can help you
avoid hitting the dex reference limit:
Review your app's direct and transitive dependencies - Ensure any large library dependency you include in your app is used in a manner
that outweighs the amount of code being added to the application. A
common anti-pattern is to include a very large library because a few
utility methods were useful. Reducing your app code dependencies can
often help you avoid the dex reference limit.
Remove unused code with ProGuard - Configure the ProGuard settings for your app to run ProGuard and ensure you have shrinking enabled for
release builds. Enabling shrinking ensures you are not shipping unused
code with your APKs.
Using these techniques can help you avoid the
build configuration changes required to enable more method references
in your app. These steps can also decrease the size of your APKs,
which is particularly important for markets where bandwidth costs are
high.
So, try to avoid Multi-Dex
one more thing when you use compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1' then you not need to use compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1' and compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'. so remove v7 & v4 from build.gradle file
First check if the multidex has really worked, you can do that by renaming the apk file to zip and extracting it. There should 2 multiple classes.dex files.
Secondly, it can also happen if earlier to reduce the method you must have used proguard, so just comment the use of proguard and it should work.
Otherwise paste your exception here.
Something wrong.
Checking the doc you only need this dependency
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'
}
So you can remove this dependency
//compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
If it is not enough and you have more than 65536 methods you can use the multidex support.
Just add these lines in the build.gradle:
android {
defaultConfig {
...
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
Also in your Manifest add the MultiDexApplication class from the multidex support library to the application element
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
<application
...
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
...
</application>
</manifest>
and override attachBaseContext method:
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
super.attachBaseContext(newBase);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
If you are using a own Application class, change the parent class from Application to MultiDexApplication.
After adding compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:21.0.+' to build.gradle, I had some conflicts on building my app, so I had to add multiDexEnabled = true to defaultConfig inside build.gradle. Those conflict are gone, but i got another exception (on opening the app) for the missing calligraphy library:

My latest sdk build tools version is 22.0.1. Has anybody faced this issue before?
If you support API levels under 21, your Application class should extend MultiDexApplication from the support library.
class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication
If you do not have a custom Application class, than you should add the MultiDexApplication class to your manifest directly
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
</application>
See https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
If your application extends from Application then override attachBaseContext inside Application i.e
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
Also need to add dependency
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
Goodlife is here again to the rescue .
Add this line to ur java file that extends application.
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mInstance = this;
//ADD MULTIDEX.INSTALL(THIS) SOLVED MY SIMILAR PROBLEM
MultiDex.install(this);
CalligraphyConfig.initDefault(new CalligraphyConfig.Builder()
.setDefaultFontPath("fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf")
.setFontAttrId(R.attr.fontPath)
.build()
);
}
Yes,update to multidex 1.0.2
and add Mulitidex.install(this) to the class extending application
MultiDex.install(this);
This can fix the problem.
What i did was too update the compiling library in app level gradle file.
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
I updated it too
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
and it worked fine for me.
Maybe this helps someone.
