Trying to add MultiDex support - cannot find symbol context and MultiDex

Question

After following the instructions mentioned at: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html#mdex-gradle

I am getting an error cannot find symbol

Answer 1

The reason you are having this "symbol not found" issue is because you haven't imported the required imports. Why not simply add the following imports

import android.support.multidex.MultiDex;

import android.content.Context;

You should know the different cases for using each Multidex option. Kindly refer to https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex#java for all information relating to MultiDexing
