There can only be 65536 methods per application.

The Dalvik VM can have a maximum of 65536 methods per dex file

Try this link to resolve this issue http://android-developers.blogspot.co.il/2011/07/custom-class-loading-in-dalvik.html

As per the official blog "Big apps can contain more than 64K method references, which is the maximum number of supported in a dex file. To get around this limitation, developers can partition part of the program into multiple secondary dex files, and load them at runtime."
