When your app and the libraries it references exceed 65,536 enmethods, we need to ship apk with multidex enable, usually follow the guides:
[Enable multidex for apps with over 64K methods](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex).
However the main dex `classes.dex` can still be too large; It' difficult to maintain the mainDexList.txt since your app's keep growing.
What's more, the gradle task for multidex can changes too, that may break our task hook.
The `dexing` library can help you get rid of maintaining the mainDexList.txt，since we've minimize the classes needed before `multidex` and `optdex`:
## How to use
1.Add dependence to `dexing` aar：
```gradle
implementation 'com.github.avenwu:dexing:$latest_version'
```
2.Install dex in application:
The install api is same as `multidex support library`:
```java
import cn.hacktons.dexing.Multidex;
public class CustomApplication extends Application {
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
Multidex.install(this);
}
}
```
3.Keep rule
Make sure the dexing package is included in main dex. If not, add this rule into your dex keep list:
```proguard
# multidex-config.pro
-keep class cn.hacktons.dexing.**
```
```groovy
multiDexKeepProguard file('multidex-config.pro')
```
## Advance
We've provided a Activity with simple loading process bar when dex is installing. You may replace the loading layout through the second parameter of `Multidex.install`:
```java
Multidex.install(this, R.layout.custom_loading);
```
If there are ClassNotFoundException, keep missing class in the `multiDexKeepProguard` file as [Enable multidex for apps with over 64K methods](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex) mentioned.
## Debug
If dex installation doest work well, you can enable logging to see the whole process:
```java
// enable log
Multidex.enableLog();
Multidex.install(this);
```
Here are some example logs, including `main process` and `:nodex process`.
