The app would not run on my Nexus emulator. This was the message I received n the Gradle console
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
The phrase - exception in thread "main" - also appeared many times

56,413 PointsThis is not a particularly nice error to diagnose and fix. First try a Clean and Rebuild. It that doesn't work try the build.gradle lines suggested in the top answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32807587/com-android-build-transform-api-transformexception

2,207 PointsMost of the time is realeted to RAM issue , ( try closing chrome , or look for java build parameter) . in case you do have a good ram , try clean and rebuilding your project it should work fine after that .
