compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' crashes on mobile

[Mauro Micó Ebro]

Hello,

I am working with Android Studio 2.0

I import the library dependency: compile com.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0

Android Studio 2.0:

These are my devices:

Sony ST26i (Android 4.1.2, API 16) -> My project crashes!!!  :(((
Asus Nexus 7 (Android 5.1., API 22) -> My project works fine!!! :)))

Eclipse:

In eclipse I am using  play-services:8.3.0 as a library !!!!!
And my two devices works fine !!!!

Note:

I tested to use com.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0 on Android Studio, but it crashes on my mobile device (Sony)

Question1: How can I solve this issue, because I would like to use Android Studio 2.0 vs Eclipse !!!

Question2: How can I import Google_services_XX as a library on Android Studio 2.0 ? (I do not like this solution but ...)

This is my error, but it is not relevant,

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 917

 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.myproject.Assets

at com.myproject.Principal.create(Principal.java:54)

 at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidGraphics.onSurfaceChanged(AndroidGraphics.java:243)

at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1505)

at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1240)

This project works fine on my Nexus 7 !!

Please, help !!

Hi Mauro,

Are you able to update the local Play services on the Sony phone?  

What happens if you try com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0 to select only the ads portion of the Play services framework?  Would that still result in a crash as well?

Thanks,

SOLVED:

Adding on android Gradle:

defaultConfig {
        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

and (multidex 1.0.1 to compile)

CODE: SELECT ALL

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.3.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

And in the manifest:
<application
...
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
...
</application>

Now the project works fine!!!

+INFO: Building Apps with Over 64K Methods

All the best !!!

Hi Mauro,

That's great you figured out you needed to enable multidex for your application!  Also keep in mind that if you are not going to use the entire Google Play services framework, it'd be much more economical to import whichever portions of it you need (e.g. ads, maps, or location - see Table 1).  That way you would be able to keep your APK size in check, and your method count under 65K.

Cheers,
