Hi i previously using renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true whiteout any problem but today when i want to run my app i giving this error message

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

i even create new empty sample project with no dependency but same error message here is my .gradle file

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0 rc3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.mk.sample"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        renderscriptTargetApi 19
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }


}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'

}

I can't say I understand this solution - or that it's necessarily a good fix, but it got my app compiling again:

configurations.all {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}

Also, see: Getting Multiple dex error when using render script support lib

and Using buildToolsVersion 23 fails because Multiple dex files define 'AnimRes'
