Dear Team,

I ran into an issue, which I can not solve for some time now.

I did your Getting Started Guide, downloaded kinvey-android-2.10.5.zip and followed the steps in the guide.

I had to remove a library file that you provided to fix a "duplicate entry" error when building the project, as shown here: https://support.kinvey.com/support/discussions/topics/12000001038

Everything works, I can ping Kinvey, Log in, Log out and even successfully call an Endpoint.

As soon as I add the Library com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0 to my project, I run into an exception, when calling

oKinveyClient = new Client.Builder("personal", "personal", oContext.getApplicationContext()).build();

As soon as I remove

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

from my project, the error is fixed. How can the Google Play Services Library interfere with the libraries that Kinvey provided?

Hope you can help.

Greetings from Austria,

Simon

Hi,

Can you check if you face the same issue if you use Kinvey SDK 2.10.4 available here: http://download.kinvey.com/Android/kinvey-android-2.10.4.zip

Also, can you tell me if this issue occurs only with this particular version of play-services library(8.4.0)?

Regards,

Wani

Kinvey Support

Hi Wani,

Combination Kinvey SDK 2.10.4 with play-services library(8.4.0), does NOT fix the problem

Combination Kinvey SDK 2.10.4 with play-services library(7.0.0), FIXES the problem

Combination Kinvey SDK 2.10.5 with play-services library(7.0.0), FIXES the problem

Unfornuately I wan to to use play-services 8.4.0

Regards,

Simon

I am having a similar issue with google play services with kinvey

Kinvey runs fine by itself but when I include

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.4.0'

in the gradle under dependencies

I get the following error

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

> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

Now I have tried researching this problem and tried multidexing and increasing the max heapsize which resulted in the following error 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.kinvey.java.core.KinveyClientRequestInitializer

                                                                                 at com.kinvey.android.Client$Builder.<init>(Client.java:574)

Oddly enough the issue only comes up when I include the ads api(WHICH MUST BE INCLUDED ALONG WITH KINVEY)

I am not sure how to resolve this problem or if this problem is related to the size of the dex file or if it is a redundant package I would appreciate help in this matter and thank you in advance for your response.  

Hi Simon/Ming Chan,

I was trying this out with Kinvey's latest Android SDK (2.10.6), and I faced the same issue related to transformClassesWithDexForDebug.

As it turns out, the solution to this is to add multiDexEnabled true to your app build.gradle file.

 defaultConfig {

    multiDexEnabled true

}

Can you guys try this out and let me know if the issue still persists?

Regards,

Wani

Kinvey Support

I tried that and got the error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.kinvey.java.core.KinveyClientRequestInitializer

                                                                                 at com.kinvey.android.Client$Builder.<init>(Client.java:573)

When I try to build the client.  I also tried max heap size it did not work either.  

I think using multidexing is not allowing the all the kinvey methods to be together so it can't function.  

Is their somthing I'm doing wroung or is their a way to fix this?  

Sorry ro disappoint you Wani,

Had

multiDexEnabled true

set for the whole time as well as

dexOptions {
    // To solve java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 3
    javaMaxHeapSize "2g"
}

Also I now tried with Kinvey 2.10.6.

Still got the same stack trace as seen in my first post. As soon as I add com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0G I run into an error when creating a Kinvey Client. I do not understand, why the error does not show up when compiling, but only after the code is compiled and called on an android devicce.

Greetings

Simon

I figured it out I added

@Override

 protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {

  super.attachBaseContext(base);

  MultiDex.install(base);

 }

to my launcher class

@Ming Chan:

Thanks, also fixed it for me. Although you need some special error handling for this within your code.

super.attachBaseContext(base); caused an exception because a base already was attached.

It also seems to be a one time thing: After using these 2 lines of code I can remove them and the app still works.

Thanks!

Okay guys, what i do wrong?

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
      MultiDex.install(this);

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
    compile(name:'kinvey-android-2.10.8', ext:'aar')
}

 defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.mycompany.testsavedata"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true


    }

 
And after i have this error 

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
