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 had the same issue and I fixed removing the library that were unnecessary

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

I removed that library and I could run the project without any problem.

Answer 2

in my case problem was build tools version which was 23.0.0 rc3 and i changed to 22.0.1 and my problem fixed.

Answer 3

There are two alternatives that'll work for sure:

1. Clean your project and then build.

If the above method didn't worked, try the next.

2. Add the following to build.gradle file at app level

   defaultConfig {   
   
   multiDexEnabled true
   
   }
   

Answer 4

This error is because of using more number of libraries.in my case 'compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-9.4.0' caused this error.To avoid this error use necessary libraries.for example if you want to use Maps in your app.Then use compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.4.0'.while adding google play services dependency specify the needed libraries only.by default it includes all the libraries.

Answer 5

In Your gradle.build file, Use this

"compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])"

And it works fine.
