I am phasing these problem & in my case used these link to overcome that error successfully..!!!

The DEX 64k limit is not a problem anymore, almost

To sum it up, adding multidex support:

In case of

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

Google decided to release an official solution for this in the form of the MultiDex Support Library.

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

Then enable multi-dexing by setting the multiDexEnabled flag in the buildType or productFlavor section of your gradle configuration.

defaultConfig { 
   ... 
multiDexEnabled true 
... 
}

Then depending on your project, you have 3 options:

If you haven’t created your own Application class, simply declare android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication as your application class in AndroidManifest.xml

   .... 
   android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" 
   ... 

If you already have your own Application class, make it extend android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication instead of android.app.Application

If your Application class is extending some other class and you don’t want to or can’t change it, override attachBaseContext() as shown below:

public class MyApplication extends FooApplication { 
   @Override 
   protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) { 
      super.attachBaseContext(base); 
      MultiDex.install(this); 
   } 
}

Your compilation process might run out of memory. To fix it, set the following dex options in the ‘android’ closure –

dexOptions { 
   incremental true 
   javaMaxHeapSize "4g" 
}
