com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: Error:Execution failed for task “…\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin\java.exe” finished with non-zero exit value 2

Question

I updated Android Studio and then started getting this error. here is my dependencies list:

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'
compile files('libs/isoparser-1.0.6.jar')
compile files('libs/aspectjrt-1.7.3.jar')
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.1.2'
compile 'org.twitter4j:twitter4j-core:4.0.3'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-s3:2.2.1'
compile 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-core:2.2.1'
}

here is console log:

I searched other questions like this but none of those helped. How do I fix this? Note: I ran same code on Android Studio on my Macbook and code worked fine. The above issue is occurring on my windows where I updated the Android Studio.

Answer 1

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'

Break this up into the modules: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

You have exceeded the dex size limit

Answer 2

Make change in build.gradle

defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

then it will start working.
