Everytime i want to run my Android application i get a error:

[2013-11-02 13:05:36 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: java.nio.BufferOverflowException. Check the Eclipse log for stack trace.
[2013-11-02 13:05:36 - **********] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: java.nio.BufferOverflowException. Check the Eclipse log for stack trace.

I google'd it but haven't found anything. I have set the permsize to 512m, Xms1024m and Xmx2048m. I'm using v22.0.0-675183.

.Log:

Have you recently installed build tools version 19.0.0? If so see: stackoverflow.com/questions/19741260/… and the link in that – NickT
@NickT I've installed: SDK Build-tools 18.0.1 and 17 – RobinF
Oh, then it's not version 19 of the build tools then. I've just updated to kitkat and my builds were ok until then, when I got the same error as you. Deleting build tools 19 fixed it for me. Sorry I can't help further – NickT
possible duplicate of Android Dex gives a BufferOverflowException – Fedor

I was able to get my problem project to build by adding this extra line:

sdk.buildtools=18.1.1

...to my project.properties file, which is present in the root of the project folder. All other approaches seemed to fail for me.

try to Add Android Support Library :D https://stackoverflow.com/a/19803777/544265

After the installation of the new sdk, there is a new folder "Android Dependencies" under your project file. If you right click and remove it from build path, you will be able to build again your project.

I have solved this with build tools 19.0.1 and project build target to API 19. With build tools 19.0 I have this problem.
