Question

Answer 1

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.
