App crashing on Android API less than 5.0(lollipop)

Question

The problem I am facing is that my android application works well on devices having API 5.0 and above but crashes on devices having Kitkat(4.4) and its corresponding lower v

Answer 1

When you are using multidex , then try to extend your application class with MultiDexAppication instead of Application and override below method this required for Android below 5.0 (because 5.0 and above support to the multidex)

   @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base)
    {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(BaseApplication.this);
    }

and in dependencies add this

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
