1) Add multiDexEnabled true as mention below in app Gradle.

android {
    defaultConfig {
       multiDexEnabled true
    }
}

2) Add the dependency

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

3) call below method in application class

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

Hope it will help you !!!

here you Please Update your build.gradle. and add multidex enable in gadel file. 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:1.0.3' }`

First Clean your project and build project after

Add multiDexEnabled true to your build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion xx
    defaultConfig {
      ...
        minSdkVersion xx //make sure your minSDK greater than 14 
        targetSdkVersion xx
        multiDexEnabled true
     ...
    }
}

finally add dependancy

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
