com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementContentProvider.onCreate（未知来源）

Question

I had to enable MultiDex in my Android App, it appears to be working in all SDK except the ones related to 4.4 and 4.2 which unfortunately are the most popular Android versions for my app at the moment.

Here is the crash report in Play Dev Console

I know I need to do something in the Manifest, Activity with extends or something, and Gradle, but everything I have tried is failing or only partially works. I just don't know where or how to properly fix it.

Answer 1

Turn MultiDex off and read below :)

here is your problem:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

play services are very huge lib that contains tons of child libs remove this line and go and read here and add ONLY libraries that you use. 99% guarantee will be no need to use MultiDex :)

for example if you use only maps then compile only:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
