Error while compiling code

[sandip...@baxi.taxi]

I used clevertap latest release compile 'com.clevertap.android:clevertap-android-sdk:2.0.9' in gradle file gave error 

Error:Execution failed for task 'Project:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_66.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 3

but when I used this compile files('libs/CleverTapAndroidSDK-v2.0.9-20160314.jar') in gradle file it runs successfully.

what is the cause of this error?

Hello Sandeep,

Thanks for writing in with this, it's an Android limitation, you've surpassed the DEX limit which is 65K methods in your application.

One of our customers faced this in the past, here's how they solved it : https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/clevertap/C8pwihMtnss/Nf5zurHlBwAJ

but why compile files('libs/CleverTapAndroidSDK-v2.0.9-20160314.jar') is working for me??

Hi Sandeep,

If you compile using gradle, it will automatically compile in the GCM and other dependencies our CleverTap SDK has. If you just compile the JAR file, it will not automatically add these dependencies. 

Hope that clarifies your question.

Thanks,

Support.
