Solution 2:[2]

In Android 9 likely to help adding to manifest into "application" tag:

<uses-library
        android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
        android:required="false" />

Solution 3:[3]

In some cases, this could be a MultiDex issue. Try this in your application class. That is in App.java which extends Application:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this); // this is the key code
}

if you already added multidex in both gradle and manifest then try to disable instant run and then create apk to test, i was facing same issue and searched a lot and tried every solution but at last this solved my problem

Solution 5:[5]

Solved:

Step 1: create MyApp class as follows:

public class MyApp extends Application {

@Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this); // this is the key code
    }
}

Step 2: Add the name property to the app in the manifest as follows:

<application
        android:name=".MyApplication">
