app crash when first run on Android 4.4

Question

I am using Android studio to build my app I have 2 emulators the first uses Android 6.0 and the second uses Android 4.4

My app runs perfectly on the Android 6.0 but when I try it on 4.4 it crashes immediately.

I tried debugging the app by putting break point on the first like but it does not reach the first line. it crashes stright away.

The error message I got is not that clear, I dont know what the problem is and how to fix it.

You might be using insta run. Disable insta run from settings and try again. — Suresh Kumar, Jan 23 '17 at 08:13
I disabled Instant run, yet same errors are still showing. and these errors just for Android 4.4 not Android 6.0 — asmgx, Jan 23 '17 at 08:21
Are you installing the app directly or installing by generating APK? — Suresh Kumar, Jan 23 '17 at 08:22
Yes, same error. there is no problem if I run on Android 6.0... this error shows on Android 4.4 — asmgx, Jan 23 '17 at 09:22

Try to use this

STEP 1:

Go to your dependency and add this line

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

and in the defaultConfig Section add this

  defaultConfig {

        minSdkVersion xx
        targetSdkVersion xx
        versionCode x

        multiDexEnabled true
}

Then Create a class called e.g MyApp.java

        public class MyApp extends Application{


            @Override
            public void onCreate() {
                super.onCreate();

            }

            @Override
            protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
                super.attachBaseContext(base);
                MultiDex.install(this);
            }


        }

STEP :2

Go to your manifest and do the following in the Application Tag

<application
        android:name="MyApp"
         .
         .
         .

now I get this error VdcInflateDelegate: Exception while inflating — asmgx, Jan 23 '17 at 07:42

in your gradle, set

multiDexEnabled true

and in Application class:

Extend Application class with MultiDexApplication

@Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        MultiDex.install(this);
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
    }

because MultiDexApplication has not been extended so that it can't include gms and any other dex classes so it's giving error at starting of gms String.

You can refer here for more information on how to use multidex :

multiDexEnabled is already true in the app and I added attachBaseContext but still same error – asmgx Jan 23 '17 at 07:08
@asmgx - Have a look at this : http://stackoverflow.com/a/34404423/3507492 – nipun.birla Jan 23 '17 at 07:12
