Android Question Error compiling b4a 10.7 and new billing

[Alberto Michelis]

Hi, Im trying to upgrade my app to the new google billing.
I upgrade b4a to 10.7 from 10.2
intall the new library
Replace the subs for the new subs in the Erel thread
Add the manifest line and when compiling I got this error

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexException: Library dex files are not supported in multi-dex mode
at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.runMultiDex(Main.java:371)
at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.runDx(Main.java:291)
at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:249)
at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:94)

I have Multidex=true, if I set it to false I got zillons of errors.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

PD using the v3 billing and b4a 10.2 works ok.

 

[Erel]

Download the example and run it as-is: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/googleplaybilling-in-app-purchases.109945/

Does it work?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Yes, it works.
I just add the library to my app (which uses v3 without problem) and got the error shown in my firt post.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

If I remove the FireBaseAdmov lib and all its code from modules and manifest, it works.
Any idea of how to make Admovs work with billing?

 

[Erel]

Works fine here with both libraries (I'm using FirebaseAdMob2 but it shouldn't matter). Tested with multidex and without it.

Have you downloaded a new SDK: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html ?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Yes... will do it again and test with FirebaseAsMob2

 

[Erel]

Don't. Use FirebaseAdMob. It will work with the correct SDK.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Ive deleted my AndroidSdk folder,
make it again
unzip resources_9_20.zip
unzip commandlinetools-win-6609375_latest.zip
run b4a 10.7
goto tools / sdk and install all recommended
opening my app in b4a I get lib does not exists errors
copy my old additionallibs folder to the new AndroidSdk folder
activate again FireBasemobs lib
compile
error: Artefacto de Maven no encontrado: androidx.work/work-runtime
go to sdk and install it and recompile

Dont know what else to do

 

[Erel]

goto tools / sdk and install all recommended

This is not in the instructions and is not needed.

copy my old additionallibs folder to the new AndroidSdk folder

Sounds like a big mistake. B4A libraries shouldn't be copied to the SDK folder.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Ok, done all again without install all recommended and libraries copied to a sub folder of the sdk folder and same error:
Convirtiendo byte code a dex. Error

[Alberto Michelis]

Any way of send my app to you for testing?
Dont know what else to do...

 

[MikeSW17]

You could just zip up your App and post it here..... but it's far better (for you) to try and strip your app down to a simple/trivial example that demonstrates the issue.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Ive tried using FireBaseAdMob2 and same reslut
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

What does Library dex files are not supported in multi-dex mode means, may be I have a wron lib?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Also try to set Multidex: false and got this errors

Convirtiendo byte code a dex. Error
trouble writing output: Too many method references to fit in one dex file: 70795; max is 65536.
You may try using multi-dex. If multi-dex is enabled then the list of classes for the main dex list is too large.

I have the same problem here in a project after updating B4A to 10.70 and SDK with all the recommended ones.
I have another project with about 30 libraries that I normally compile, but the one that uses more than 50 libraries presents this error:

Convertendo Byte Code - DEX otimizado. Error
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexException: Library dex files are not supported in multi-dex mode

at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:94)


Edit:

The project I was compiling started to show or this error when I checked the FirebaseAdmob library:

Convertendo Byte Code - DEX otimizado. Error

[Erel]

Create a new project and set #MultiDex: True
Add the libraries and find which one causes this compilation error.

 

[Alberto Michelis]

FireBaseAdmob or FirebaseAdmob2, no doubt
