Gradle - What is a non-zero exit value and how do I fix it?
<p>I am developing an Android application, and every time I run it, I get this message:</p>

<pre><code>:module:someTask FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':module:someTask'.
&gt; some message here...  finished with non-zero exit value X
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
Total time: Y.ZZ secs
</code></pre>

<p>I have already tried cleaning and building the project, but the error persists. </p>

<p>I have seen answers that say to enable Multidex or increase the heap size, but I am sure I don't need either solution.</p>

<p>What can I do to solve this?</p>
