Android Studio fails to debug with error org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException

Question

I am trying to run the app in debug mode but I get the following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

Below is my build.gradle file:

Can anyone please help as this error is driving me crazy. My code is hitting 65k limit so I added multiDexEnabled option.

EDIT My project architecture enter image description here

Thanks

Can you add the architecture of your project ? – Elodie E2 Feb 21 '15 at 01:50 — Elodie E2, Feb 21 '15 at 01:50
@Noorul I guess you are running 32-bit sdk on 64-bit os. – Apurva Feb 21 '15 at 11:11 — Apurva, Feb 21 '15 at 11:11
@Apurva then wat is the solution – Digit Apr 13 '15 at 13:44 — Digit, Apr 13 '15 at 13:44

That is because you enabled multiDex for release builds only, not for debug builds.

Try this:

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}

Any clue why I'd be seeing this? createDebugMainDexClassList'. A problem occurred starting process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_76.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' `error=0, spawn failed` – amadib Mar 02 '15 at 23:17
Trying for two days! This line solved it! Can you please enlighten us about this config? – nizam.sp Aug 27 '15 at 19:26

`The android.dexOptions.incremental property is deprecated and it has no effect on the build process.` FOR WHOEVER TRY THIS – gone Jan 04 '17 at 16:34
