Failed to verify dex: Bad method handle type 7
I'm trying to create a test example where I've the contents of a TextView is set to the contents of a file stored in the IPFS.
I'm using this repository for my functions: https://github.com/ipfs/java-ipfs-api
I keep getting what appears to be a multidex error despit enable multidex in multiple places:
defaultConfig {
applicationId "*****"
minSdkVersion 26
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
**multiDexEnabled true**
}
dependancies{
implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
MainActivity.java:
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
This is the error I'm getting:

this is my code:
TextView example = view.findViewById(R.id.example);
IPFS ipfs = new IPFS("/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/4001");
try {
ipfs.refs.local();
NamedStreamable.ByteArrayWrapper file = new NamedStreamable.ByteArrayWrapper("hello.txt", "G'day world! IPFS rocks!".getBytes());
MerkleNode addResult = ipfs.add(file).get(0);
Multihash filePointer = Multihash.fromBase58("QmPZ9gcCEpqKTo6aq61g2nXGUhM4iCL3ewB6LDXZCtioEB");
byte[] fileContents = ipfs.cat(filePointer);
this.example.setText(new String(fileContents));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Edit: I was not getting this error before I installed the jitpack and java-ipfs-api
Answer
Just experienced the same problem, it is because some library use Java 8 features, in your case it should be java-ipfs-api. To solve the problem, configure Android Gradle Plugin to support Java 8 by adding the following code to your build.gradle file, be sure to use latest Android gradle plugin:
android {
...
...
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
