Android Tutorial => Enabling Multidex

Example

In order to enable a multidex configuration you need:

to change your Gradle build configuration
to use a MultiDexApplication or enable the MultiDex in your Application class

Gradle configuration

In app/build.gradle add these parts:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 24
        ...

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

Enable MultiDex in your Application

Then proceed with one of three options:

Multidex by extending Application

Multidex by extending MultiDexApplication

Multidex by using MultiDexApplication directly

When these configuration settings are added to an app, the Android build tools construct a primary dex (classes.dex) and supporting (classes2.dex, classes3.dex) as needed.
The build system will then package them into an APK file for distribution.
