There are multiple support libraries in your project. You can try below steps :

Open your project folder in windows explorer(Windows)/finder(Mac). Check your project's libs folder and any support library's (such as appcompact_v7) libs folder.
Check if you have multiple JAR files with same name.
If you have multiple JAR files such as android-support-v4 then remove one of the JAR file
Clean project.
Run.
