MultiDex support: now secondary dex'es are located directly in apk file,...

[lsuski]

... not in assets (compatible with android.support.MultiDex)

To make this work one should add these lines to main-dex-list file:
android/support/multidex/MultiDex.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V4.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V14.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V19.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDexApplication.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDexExtractor.class
android/support/multidex/MultiDexExtractor$1.class
android/support/multidex/ZipUtil.class
android/support/multidex/ZipUtil$CentralDirectory.class

Those multidex class files have to come from somewhere... how do they get into the apk?

[lsuski]

Those classes come from android.support.multidex library which can be found in android sdk (latest support repository). Check this https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/multidex/MultiDex.html

I do confirm: my application can't execute today on my device since the additional dex files are misplaced in the final APK (/assets/ instead of /). I have reviewed Łukasz's patch, and I fully agree.
Please provide an rc4 ASAP please.

[bastoi]

I do confirm too. I test this patch and it's necessary to work properly with multidex.

[siepkes]

I too can confirm this patch is needed when using Android Support Multidex as described here: https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html . Is there anything I can do do speed up the process of getting this in master (and perhaps rc.4)?

[Shusshu]

I can make sure it goes into master but I'm currently not able to test it.
Could someone make a sample project so I can try it?

For the release rc.4 we would need to wait for Manfred (a few days)
