Looks like you are importing the support lib twice. Have you seen this question and answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20989317/multiple-dex-files-define-landroid-support-v4-accessibilityservice-accessibility — kevinpelgrims, Apr 17 '15 at 22:25

Remove the line ('com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0') from dependencies { compile files('libs/cordova-2.7.0.jar') compile files('libs/google-play-services.jar') compile files('libs/java_websocket.jar') compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0' }

you have to write compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0' into the dependencies inside of the other build.gradle file (inside of the app folder) instead of the build.gradle you use (in the gradle folder). Yes, there are two files with the same name but in different folders.
