Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle

Question

I\'m getting this error executing my Android app (I cleaned it and then built it, but the error is still present)

• Sync: OK
• Make Project: OK

Answer 1

I Reject Embedded JDK ( in 32bit ) because embedded JDK is 64bit

Right click your Project -> Open Module Setting -> SDK Location -> Uncheck Use embedded JDk then set your JDK Path, eg in Ubuntu /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-i386

Answer 2

For me i was adding the whole playstore dependencies

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

But i needed google map only , so i made it more specific and the error was resolved.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'

Answer 3

If you want to see what exactly is causing the error, try building your project via gradle terminal, like this ./gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace --debug . I've seen the following error in my case com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

This happened when I was trying to entegrate Google Maps to my project. To fix it, I simply checked libraries I was including

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0'

I simply changed it to

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.8.0'

and problem was gone

Answer 4

Possible problem: You have exceeded dex 65k methods limit, may be you added some library or several methods before problem occurred?

Answer 5

I didn't know (by then) that "compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])" compile all that has jar extension on libs folder, so i just comment (or delete) this lines:

//compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0'
//compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp-urlconnection:2.2.0'
//compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.2.0'

//compile files('libs/spotify-web-api-android-master-0.1.0.jar')
//compile files('libs/okio-1.3.0.jar')

and it works fine. Thanks anyway! My bad.

Answer 6

I think it's conflicts of .jar file in your project.

I have removed android-support-v4.jar from libs folder and its working !!!

if your project gives error, check in your build.gradle file

dependencies {

}
