Android Studio: Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug' when build project

Question

I'm using Android Studio for the first time and I got the following error after importing the project (previously it was an eclipse project where I had issues too.)

Here is the information given:

   Error:Execution failed for task ':xink:dexDebug'.

com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\21.1.2\dx.bat --dex --no-optimize --output E:\xink App\Xink\xink\build\intermediates\dex\debug --input-list=E:\xink App\Xink\xink\build\intermediates\tmp\dex\debug\inputList.txt Error Code: 2 Output: UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536 at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger$6.updateIndex(DexMerger.java:502) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger$IdMerger.mergeSorted(DexMerger.java:277) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.mergeMethodIds(DexMerger.java:491) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.mergeDexes(DexMerger.java:168) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.merge(DexMerger.java:189) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.mergeLibraryDexBuffers(Main.java:454) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.runMonoDex(Main.java:303) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.run(Main.java:246) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:215) at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106)

The app build.gradle is this:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    android {
        compileSdkVersion 19
        buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

        defaultConfig {
            applicationId "com.vog.xink"
            minSdkVersion 14
            targetSdkVersion 21
        }

        buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-project.txt'
            }
        }
    }

    dependencies {
    compile project(':library')
    compile project(':facebook')
    compile project(':swipecard')

Answer 1

You are probably including the same library more than once. Try to include just one google-api-client and just one google-http-client.
