In this episode of Ask A Dev, Android engineer Bryan Sullivan gives fellow Android developers some helpful tips on getting their apps around that annoying Dalvik Executable (DEX) limit.

Once you know what you're looking for, Bryan will give you some handy tricks for avoiding the DEX limit altogether. However, much like rules, limits were made to be broken, and Bryan teaches you how to do so using multidex configurations.
