• Make Project: OK

If you want to see what exactly is causing the error, try building your project via gradle terminal, like this ./gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace --debug . I've seen the following error in my case com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

This happened when I was trying to entegrate Google Maps to my project. To fix it, I simply checked libraries I was including

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0'

I simply changed it to

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.8.0'

and problem was gone
