ERROR: Dex writing phase: classes.dex has too many IDs. Try using multi-dex

I'm integrating my app into Android AOSP source code to compile. I encountered an issue said as below:

ERROR: Dex writing phase: classes.dex has too many IDs. Try using multi-dex

It worked fine in android studio. My app setting looks like:

    public class App extends MultiDexApplication{
   @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }
    }

Setting in mainifest.xml

android:name=".App"

dependencies{
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}
defaultConfig {
  multiDexEnabled true
}

I found a solution at here: How to enable mulit dex ,when building apk in AOSP?

but it didn't work.

My mk file looks like:

LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED := disabled
LOCAL_DX_FLAGS := --multi-dex --main-dex-list=$(mainDexList) --minimal-main-dex

LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := multidex-1.0.1:libs/multidex-1.0.1.aar

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Added below two lines into your mk files. It should work.

      LOCAL_DX_FLAGS := --multi-dex --main-dex-list=$(mainDexList) --minimal-main-dex
  LOCAL_JACK_FLAGS += --multi-dex native
