Hello,

To use firebaseadmob 2 I updated the googlemobileads sdk to 20. After that I got some error messages regarding firebase encoders, androidwork etc. I updated them all with sdk manager but I started to get:

B4X:
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

    at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:249)
    at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:94)

after some research on the forum I added:

#MultiDex: True

and now I am getting:

I tried to remove sdk file completely and reinstall as described in b4a product page, only updated the mobile ads sdk again which led to other updates againn and same errors again. What can I do about it?

Thanks

The problem is in androidx.work:work-runtme v2.5.0. It includes a predexed jar.

I've configured the recommended resource list to download v2.4.0.
If you are getting this error then you've already downloaded v2.5.0.

Fix it by:
1. Close B4A Sdk Manager.
2. Edit <android sdk>\extras\b4a_remote\installed-components.txt
3. Find and delete the line that starts with: androidx.work\:work-runtime
4. Open B4A Sdk Manager and the correct version will appear in the recommended items.

It works at me now!!! :)

PRE-DEXING is obsolete now.
I am able to set my project now in MULTIDEX mode and able to compile it.


Great Erel!
Thanks a lot.

Hello, I also had the same errors, so tried this. When I delete the line in the installed-components textfile, then save, the SDK manager doesn't show any recommended components. If I search manually for work-runtime it shows only version 2.5.0. I've obviosuly done something wrong or missed a step! Can anyone help?!

Don't confuse androidx.work\:work-runtime with androidx.work\:work-runtime-ktx
Hi Erel, no its both showing as only version 2.5.0 in the SDK manager. I had to remove adverts to get my app to compile, which is not a solution I can use for release.

I was getting the same error namely: work-runtime 2.5 got installed by me perhaps during an sdk update and I was not able to find the 2.4 version in the list to fix the "Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: invalid opcode ba (invokedynamic requires --min-sdk-version >= 26)" while using(just referencing is enough to cause the error) just the FirebaseAdMob2 internal library. (tried desugaring but that was failed effort)

As was told in this thread - It is not mandatory right now to use the 2.0 library above for AdMob Ads.

If you have used it and are getting the error this is how i fixed it:
1) Went back to Version 10.6 of B4A.
2) Started clean with the two supplied zips into a new empty folder as directed.
3) Just updated the above new sdk path in the IDE>paths.

No need to start SDK manager, error gone away on next launch of IDE.
