Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithPreJackRuntimeLibrariesForDebug'

Question

My project was working fine, I stopped development for a week and when I came back, when I build the project I get this exception:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithPreJackRuntimeLibrariesForDebug'. > com.android.sched.scheduler.RunnerProcessException: Error during 'ReachingDefinitions' runner on 'static void org.mozilla.universalchardet.prober.contextanalysis.JapaneseContextAnalysis.

I tried to change org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m, it was actually 1536. No change.

What is this exception about? How to fix it? Thank you.

UPDATE: I was planning to use Data Binding in this project. Apparently,

apply plugin: 'com.android.databinding'

and this

classpath 'com.android.databinding:dataBinder:1.0-rc4'

caused his behaviour. The question is why?

Answer 1

You just need to enable DataBinding in build.gradle to use it

android{
    defaultConfig{
        dataBinding {
            enabled true
        }
    }
}
