:app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug FAILED

I have tried the following links

My gradle build file is as below.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "appId"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    dexOptions {
        incremental true
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
    compile files('libs/rt.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

My manifest is as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="packageName">

    <application
        android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

My activity file is as below.

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

After all this, I still get the following error.

Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'. > 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_72\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Answer

I had to do the following at the app level

Remove rt.jar as library
Remove compile files('libs/rt.jar') from build.gradle
Clean and build project.

Thanks to George Mulligan for pointing it out.

I know it is passed. but I had same problem. the message was this:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'. java.io.IOException: Can't write [D:...app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:....\support-core-ui-27.1.1.aar\eadf2be3981e05166424b72b4128200e\jars\classes.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [classes.jar:android/support/v4/view/ViewPager$1.class]))

I searched a lot but nothing found. I resolved it by adding below line to gradle:

implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2'

I'm not sure this is the same for the Windows OS with straight JAVA. I was having the same issue with cordova run android and it always fail in Mac. So I added the following to my build.gradle file and the build passed, and I was able to test on the emulator. Add your compiled info under android section and multidex under default config

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23"
}

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}

Notice the build is just 23 and not 23.0.1
