I\'m having this error whilst compiling Instrumentation tests.

Answer 1

With latest android studio 3.2 and gradle, we can also resolve it via

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3' in app build.gradle

Answer 2

I just have the same error for me, it was because of okhttp and I downgrade implementation of it form:

to this:

implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.1"

Answer 3

In gradle.properties add android.enableD8=true This should work.

Please note that there is a known bug when you export and upload the apk to play store with d8 enable. The app will not run on some devices when downloaded from play store.

Answer 4

add these line to your gradle:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Answer 5

I have had the same issue and I resolved it by disabling the advanced profiling in run configuration.

Edit Configurations -> app -> Profiling -> Enable advanced profiling (Uncheck this option).

Answer 6

If you're using guava, tou can try to upgrade it to the latest android-specific build

implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:23.0-android'

This fixed the error for me when I was using the non-android guava build.
