  :app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug FAILED
  
  I have tried the following links
  http://developer.android.com/intl/es/tools/building/multidex.html
  UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define
  com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException

  Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle

  My gradle build file is as below.
  apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

      buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'

      }

      }
  }

      compile files('libs/rt.jar')
      compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
  }
  
  My manifest is as below.
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="packageName">
  
      <application

              </intent-filter>
          </activity>
      </application>
  
  </manifest>
  
  My activity file is as below.
  import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  
  public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      }
  }
  
  After all this, I still get the following error.
  Error:Execution failed for task
  ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_72\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

  Answer
  I had to do the following at the app level
  
  Remove rt.jar as library
  Remove compile files('libs/rt.jar') from build.gradle
  Clean and build project.
  
  Thanks to George Mulligan for pointing it out.

  I have found a quick fix. But there might be a better solution to this.
  
  changing minSdkVersion means it will not gonna work for below the sdk version
  
  Under your Android folder look for you build.gradle file. Replace the minSdkVersion to 21. The code for it should look like this
  ext {
      buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
      minSdkVersion = 21
      compileSdkVersion = 28
      targetSdkVersion = 28
  }
  
  thanks to Edward Beazer
