Android App在API级别19崩溃，但在19以上的API上可以正常工作

Question

My app crashes on API 19 but it is working fine on API level 21, 22 and 23. (I tested in the Firebase website).

I am posting my gradle and some screenshots.

build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

This is the last clue:

I also tried searching in Google and Stack Overflow, but I couldn't find any proper answer for my issue.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You need to specify the MultiDexApplication in the AndroidManifest.xml to support multi-dex before API 21.

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Should be

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" 
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

If you are using AndroidX, then you need to use androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication .

If you use a custom Application class

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

manifest.xml

<application
    ...
    android:name="com.example.my.app.MyApplication" >
    ...

I found another solution for this problem thanks to Doug Stevenson. I changed this line:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1' 

to :

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.0.1'
