Error When building App Method code too large

Question

I imported my project from existent code. I didn't do any modification but when I build the application there is the error:

:XXXXPlayer:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDebug FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

*What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':xxxxPlayer:transformClassesWithInstantRunForDebug'.

Method code too large!

Any idea?

Answer 1

You should break your function into different functions. It is really bad design to create one large method.

Error is thrown because there is a 64K byte-code size limit on a method in Java.

Answer 2

Error is producing because you have added many dependencies.

First a java class name what you want for example ApplicationDelegate and extends with MultiDexApplication . Open android manifest file add this class name 'android:name=".ApplicationDelegate"' in Application Tag.!
