I am facing this runtime error.It says :

Here is my build.gradle script :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

compile project(':StickyListHeaders')
compile project(':ListViewAnimations-core-slh')

Please help me out.Thanks!

Answer 1

You should audit your project for unwanted dependencies and remove as much unused code as possible using ProGuard.

1. Change your Gradle build configuration to enable multidex
2. Modify your manifest to reference the MultiDexApplication class

Modify your app Gradle build file configuration to include the support library and enable multidex output .

    android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
       applicationId "com.stratbeans.barium.mobilebarium"
       minSdkVersion 16
       targetSdkVersion 23
       versionCode 1
       versionName "1.0"

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Answer 2

defaultConfig {
     multiDexEnabled true 
}

Add multiDexEnabled true inside your defaultConfig in your build.gradle.
Hope that will work for you!
