try adding compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.0' to your dependencies — Gil Moshayof, Dec 01 '15 at 14:38

Add this inside your android block:

dexOptions {
    preDexLibraries = false
}

Your project methods is over 65k. You should implement Multidex

after implement Mutidex `:app:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex FAILED Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'. > java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoStubImpl.class` i found this error. – Dec 01 '15 at 14:48
Some of your libraries are using android support v4 library with different versions. We need to find them out :( – Emre Aktürk Dec 01 '15 at 14:52

if your project has more than 65K method , you have to enable multiDex option in gradle ,, to make sure if the problem caused by multiDex ,, just run your app on a lolipop device if it running fine , then the problem is MultiDex ,

lolipop doesn't use Dalvik thats why it will running fine

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;

You are adding twice the support-library v4.

It happens because you are using

compile 'com.github.JakeWharton:ViewPagerIndicator:2.4.1@aar'

You are getting this library from the jitpack.
This library adds the support library as a jar and not as a gradle dependency.

It means that the pom file doesn't have a dependency and you can't exclude the jar file with gradle because the jar is inside the aar file (without a pom how can gradle know that these files should be excluded?).

You can check the files in the jitpack repo:

You can try to use the same library from other repo, for example:

`fr.avianey.com.viewpagerindicator:library:2.4.1`

You can check this issue on github.
