Answer 1

1. Try cleaning your project and then re-building.

2. Try adding multiDexEnabled true in your app build.gradle file.

   defaultConfig {
       multiDexEnabled true
   }
   

Answer 2

I have added this on the Application class:

 @Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

In my app build.grade file:

 defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.android.exampleapp"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true

}

and added this as dependency:

     compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

This solved my problem. Thanks

Answer 3

I just had the same problem in my current project when I moved the Android Gradle Plugin Version from 1.3.0 to 1.5.0.

The error was nearly the same one as the error of the OP except that java returned error code 2.

If finally turned out that I had the same jar file included in two different modules of the app.

Version 1.3.0 could handle this without problems, for version 1.5.0 I had to replace the jar files with a dependency for a separate module that contained a single copy of the jar file.
