Answer 1

you might need to add this to your gradle file:

packagingOptions {

        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'

    }

Answer 2

in your app gradle file use multidex:enabled

android {
      compileSdkVersion 22
      buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

      defaultConfig {
         minSdkVersion 14 //lower than 14 doesn't support multidex
         targetSdkVersion 22

         // Enabling multidex support.
         multiDexEnabled true
     }
}

dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
 }
