Android java.exe finished with non-zero exit value 1 [closed]

Answer 1

It must have been a problem with my Java install. I removed all traces of Java (C://program files/Java/jdk) and jre folders and reinstalled it from the official page and now it works fine.

Answer 2

Problem RAM. I had similar message in my Messages Gradle Build

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal. 
ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' 
finished with non-zero exit value 1

Why: I didn't have free RAM on my laptop with the OS windows 8.1.

Solution: I closed a few programs that I don't need. After that, I had more free RAM and my project was built in android studio.

Answer 3

You must update all blocks in SDK Manager (Support Library, etc.), all non updated libs and packages. After this you must sync gradle files with project and rejoice!

Answer 4

There's many reason that leads to

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

If you are not hitting the dex limit but you are getting error similar to this Error:com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: name already added: string{"a"}

Try disable proguard, if it manage to compile without issue then you will need to figure out which library caused it and add it to proguard-rules.pro file

In my case this issue occur when I updated compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.3.0' to compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'

One of the workaround is I added this to proguard-rules.pro file

## Google AdMob specific rules ##
## https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start ##

-keep public class com.google.ads.** {
   public *;
}

Experimental I found way:

App extends Application not MultiDexApplication

and remove

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

from gradle.properties

Well there can be many problems associated with it. First of all check whether you messed up with some file placements. for example what I did is I placed non xml file in anim folder, which isn't allowed. So check whether such things happened to you as well.
