Unable to merge dex error after adding library

Question

I've been trying to add the design library but everytime i do it i get this unable to merge dex error

i've tried using different versions of SDK's already and other design versions but it dosen't seem to be working

Here is an image of the error:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.1'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso- 
    core:3.0.2'

    compile 'com.github.mancj:SlideUp-Android:1.0-beta'
    compile 'com.github.zcweng:switch-button:[email protected]'

    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:0.4.1'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.8.0'

 }

Sorry for such messy dependencies but i've been trying everything to get this fixed but nothing because i need the design library

Answer 1

I got the same issue and I found the docs that work for me.

Add some config to app/build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
