I have recently migrated my project from Eclipse to Android Studio. Earlier everything was working perfectly, but recently when I started working on it again I am not able to launch the application. Its always showing me the same error. I haven't changed anything on application level, still getting the same result. Here is the log I am getting

As I have recently switched my IDE I am facing problems to solve this one. I have also tried the other answers but still unable to solve this error. Kindly help me with this so I can proceed with my project.
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks
This might be the 65k methods limit. Try to use the solutions in the link.
Edit: For others who stumble this issue - #Salman Khan added multiDexEnabled true to the gradle file (as written in the link) and it solved the problem. It would be still better to read the whole article and follow the steps there.
Replaced lambda with anonymous class:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException happened in my android studio project in two classes – in both of them there was lambda expressions. After I replaced lambda with anonymous class – the build was successful.
In my case, I needed to edit from:
String id = MyClass.class.toString();
Into:
String id = MyClass.class.getName();
Because .toString() returns something like "class mypackage.MyClass" (instead of "mypackage.MyClass").

Any one the same?
edit: i have enabled multidex, but i downgrade to 17.2.1 it's seem oke for now. But 18.0.0 not work
I had yesterday the same issue, I went crazy looking for a solution. For me it worked downgrading play services from 18.0.0 to 17.2.1.
It seems to be an error in that library. My error occurred when users downloaded the application and this, crash at the beginning but then it works well if you get in again.
Change logs of google:
To avoid a crash that occurs on first launch after app install from the play store, this release requires publishers to declare additional dependencies in their build.gradle:
com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:17.0.0
com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-sdk:17.0.0
This issue has been resolved in 18.1.0. Please see the release notes for more information: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/rel-notes
Use together:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:17.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:18.0.0'
When I try to run my existing application (using Android Studio 3.1.3) on Android 4.4.2 it is not running and showing this error:

Pay attention to the exception:

I found out that everytime when I try to run and it crashes the number in the exception increases my.project-5. (First time it was my.project-1, then my.project-2, and so on).
What is the problem and how can I fix this error?
Note: This error is also occuring on android 4.3. However, for android 5.0 and above it is working well.
Edit: Answer
After doing some research, I found the answer here:
NoClassDefFoundError with Android Studio on Android 4
https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex
I think you have a conflict with some code that requires at least android 5.0 but you are running in 4.4.2.
See the documentation here: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/platforms and here: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/compatibility
Post the code so we can help you better.
I am working on one application that have only one screen barcode scanning and I am achieve this with zxing Library. But my problem is if I am install app with android studio it is working fine but if I share this apk from output folder with Bluetooth, Email, Xender, etc.. Application is install but when I open the app it will crash and Exception is NoClassFoundException.

You have to clean build before share the app and make a debug build.
Follow this simple steps,
Goto Build -> Clean Project
Goto Build -> Build Apk
This will generate build Apk. Share this Apk.
Hope this helps.
It seems like I have the same problem. Such an exception happens now with any project, even with empty and clean just created. I used to share myproject_debug.apk with testers, but now it crashes on start up. Maybe it started after some update of Android Studio or platform-tools, I'm not sure.
So, I found some work around that work for me
Before copy project-debug.apk from output folder:
go to menu in Android Studio and open menu 'Build'
click 'Build APK'
After successful build I copy myproject-debug.apk from output folder and it works well.
In my AndroidStudio project I want to use a JAR library that uses reflection mechanism to dynamically load a class and run its methods.
However, it fails to load the class and I'm getting the ClassNotFoundException.
When I try to load the class from within an activity -- it works.
It only fails when the system tries to load the class from within the library.
What is more, the library cannot load classes that are with the library, resulting in the same error.
Furthermore, I cannot load the classes from the library, even from the activity.
The class is loaded as follows:
Class<?> actionClass = Class.forName(callbackClass,true,ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
The exception thrown looks as follows:

OK, I have figured it out.
The problem was in using getSystemClassLoader.
Instead:
Class<?> actionClass = Class.forName(className,true,ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
I used
Class<?> actionClass = Class.forName(className);
And it worked.
However it is still not perfectly clear to me why both of these methods works in desktop environment, and only the second one works in Android.
it's clear cause you use the jar ClassLoader which doesn't contain the class that you want to load. So to resolve this, you have to call your app ClassLoader.
I am facing an issue with my app:
If I deactivate within Android Studio Instant Run, my app crashes upon startup with the stacktrace:

As far as I have researched this belongs to multidex:
https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html
Even if I add the multiDexEnabled property to my gradle config the app crashes. Only if I enable InstantRun (which enables multidex in background), the app runs...
If I create an apk the installation works, but the app crashes on startup with the same error.
Since I have as minSDK API Level 21, there should be no other change except of the multiDexEnabled property necessary, right?
So last but not least my answer:
All my configuration for multidex was correct... I don't know why, but after a complete OS restart everything works fine now... :)
Just create new phone on AVD and try to install app on that phone. Hope it will work.
The accepted answer was only a temporary fix for me, after altering code and a few builds the error came back.
After alot of trial and error the real problem was the jdk location my project was using, instead of using the embedded jdk in android studio i was using an installed version from oracle. After going to File > Project Structure > SDK Location and checking Use embedded JDK the problem was fixed for good.
Check if your classpath
'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0-alpha05'
is up-to-date, had same problem and solved it with a full update.
