I just tried this and now I'm getting an exception in the console when I run. Multiple Dex files...

Here is my error in Android Studio:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

I have worked out that there are multiple files defining Lbolts/AggregateException somewhere... but I don't know where...?

Does it have anything to do with the Parse bolts-android-1.1.3.jar library I have included?

Any help would be appreciated.

So... I managed to establish that there is a problem with my .jar files in my apps libs directory. But I have now updated them to be accurate in build.gradle and app.iml

I'm still getting errors though.

Apparently my InboxActivity uses or overrides a deprecated API.

I get these red notes when I try and run my app:

Note: /Users/jonathansmillie/howl/app/src/main/java/com/wolfonmoon/howl/InboxFragment.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

then I get the DexException errors as before. Not sure what to do about it...

Did you eventually find an answer to this? Same problem here.
