Add this into your build.gradile

 android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.0"

defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 21
    ...

    // Enabling multidex support.
    multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}

dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Also add this into your manifest

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
       <application
           ...
           android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
           ...
       </application>
    </manifest>
