Unable to compile, Unable to execute dex, cannot combine, non-jumbo instruction

Question

I need help because I can’t get a solution myself, I read a lot of messages and understand a lot, but without a solution.

I have a proyect that has some subprojects (actionbar, slide, facebook, etc.), and when I try to compile it, I get the following error all the time.

[2013-07-31 14:44:06 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Cannot merge new index 67109 into a non-jumbo instruction! [2013-07-31 14:44:06 - ojiva] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Cannot merge new index 67109 into a non-jumbo instruction! 

I use Eclipse with the latest ADTs and the latest tools (r22) with the latest SDKs (18). I set dex.force.jumbo=true to my project.properties and also tried using set dex.force.jumbo=true

But without luck :(, any ideas?

Answer 1

Try adding dex.force.jumbo=true to your project.properties file

Answer 2

For users of Intellij or Android studio: Settings - Android compiler - DEX, you can check the flag.

However, you SHOULD rebuild your project, otherwise you will still see the same error.

Answer 3

With the latest version of Android Studio and the "force jumbo" flag set in the Android Studio compiler settings, this problem disappears.

Hope someone helps.
