解决“com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536”问题

1. 谷歌官方已经给出了相关的文档，参照网上搜索的资料，首先，我的问题是：

Error:Execution failed for task ':duchazhushou:dexRelease'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:
    C:\Users\jeff\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\android-sdk\build-tools\21.1.1\dx.bat --dex --output D:\dev\android\Duchazhushou_TDT\duchazhushou\build\intermediates\dex\release --input-list=D:\dev\android\Duchazhushou_TDT\duchazhushou\build\intermediates\tmp\dex\release\inputList.txt
Error Code:
Output:
    UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

        at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106)

2. 在项目的build.gradle文件的dependencies 节中添加分包设置：

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

3. 通过在defaultConfig节中设置multiDexEnabled标签为true，开启multi-dexing支持:

defaultConfig { 
   ... 
multiDexEnabled true 
... 
}

4. Application继承android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication，或直接在AndroidManifest.xml文件的Application声明中添加:

android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

5. 重新build。
