Gradle: Fixed "The command line is too long" error

[jfaz...@fd-software.com]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to post that I submitted a patch to AOSP that fixes this problem.  It works by copying all of the libraries into a single folder and passes dx that folder instead of each single library.  This way we only pass dx a single directory and not a ton of file paths.

Sorry I forgot to post the link to the patch.  Here it is https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/102063/

We probably don't want to do this, as it's extra copying of files (that can be fairly big)

I think we need to fix dx to make it receive a file that contains a list of input.

Hello Xavier,

I just wanted to post that I uploaded 2 more patches that should fix the dex problem the way you requested.  The first https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/103691/ which added an --input-list option to dex.  The second https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/103790/ writes the libraries to a file and passes that file name to dex.
