In gradle.properties I have
android.useAndroidX = true
android.enableJetifier = true
From the docs it said that if you're not using androidx you can setup it like this, but I've migrated the app and I've added
implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.0"
to support dex, I also have clean and removed gradle cache so I can rebuild the project, but I still have the same error, can someone please help me overcome this error, thanks.
Modify the module-level build.gradle file to enable multidex and add the multidex library as a dependency, as shown here:
android {
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 28
multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
If you do not override the Application class, edit your manifest file to set android:name in the tag as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapp">
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
...
</application>
</manifest>
If you do override the Application class, change it to extend MultiDexApplication (if possible) as follows:
...
import androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication;
...
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication { ... }
Or if you do override the Application class but it's not possible to change the base class, then you can instead override the attachBaseContext() method and call MultiDex.install(this) to enable multidex:
public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherApplication {
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
