Answer 1

Having same issue and was stuck for a whole day. Finally got solution.

Add in your app level gradle.build:

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.google.android:multidex:0.1'
}

Then override attachBaseContext in your Application class like below:

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

And don't forgot to enable mutlidex support as below:

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
}
