Answer 1

For me the solution was to remove an unnecessary/duplicate dependency entries. This is a similar solution others offered here that makes sense, but not exactly the same solution as those offered by others.

Since I was already including *.jar files in the list of files to be compiled, there was no need for additional entries in the dependencies list.

Before:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
}

After:

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'

}
