Android error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV14

Question

I started with a new project. Imported a new module like this File -> New -> Import Module-> Source Directory.

Now the module that I imported has a dependency also. So two modules got imported.Then I added the main module as library like this File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies Tab -> Click on Plus -> Add module dependency and then click ok.

Now since I have include library modules. I got this error. So I added the multiDexEnabled:true property and now my gradle looks like this.

After that error I found another error Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/util/TimeUtils.class

Which I solved by adding the below line of code (This line has been included in the earlier image of manifest file)

configurations {
        all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
    }

Now after all these steps when I try to run the MainActvity then i get the following error (title) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV14

how my Log Cat looks.

Manifest and project structure

Theme looks like this

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements

    private GoogleCardsMediaAdapter mGoogleCardsAdapter;

    @Override

        setContentView(R.layout.list_view);

        ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view);

        listView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.background_media);

        SwingBottomInAnimationAdapter swingBottomInAnimationAdapter = new SwingBottomInAnimationAdapter(

        swingBottomInAnimationAdapter.setAbsListView(listView);

        assert swingBottomInAnimationAdapter.getViewAnimator() != null;
        swingBottomInAnimationAdapter.getViewAnimator().setInitialDelayMillis(

        listView.setClipToPadding(false);
        listView.setDivider(null);
        Resources r = getResources();
        int px = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,

        listView.setScrollBarStyle(ListView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
        listView.setAdapter(swingBottomInAnimationAdapter);

//        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
//        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Google cards media");
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
            finish();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDismiss(@NonNull final ViewGroup listView,
                          @NonNull final int[] reverseSortedPositions) {
        for (int position : reverseSortedPositions) {
            mGoogleCardsAdapter.remove(mGoogleCardsAdapter.getItem(position));
        }
    }
}

Now I am stuck and not able to move forward. I have tried some solutions on stack overflow but couldn't solve it. Thanx for the help

Please provide your exact crash report so that u can get proper help — Niranjan Balkrishna Prajapati, Feb 04 '16 at 11:22
please provide mainactivity line 29 where the error has started to occur — Niranjan Balkrishna Prajapati, Feb 04 '16 at 12:10
i asked for line 29 where the error is starting not the whole code how am i supposed to find line 29 ? in the above code — Niranjan Balkrishna Prajapati, Feb 04 '16 at 13:07
are you sure the bundle passed in parameter of onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) is final ? because i have never seen the bundle been defined as final. Try removing the final and check if its working ? — Niranjan Balkrishna Prajapati, Feb 04 '16 at 14:23
I think u have excluded the entire android.support package. That's why at runtime the class definition is not found and hence the error. — nikhil.thakkar, Feb 05 '16 at 13:31
@nikhil.thakkar yup I have. I have uploaded the gradle file. Could you please provide a snippet so that I can try it.Thanx — Sagar Devanga, Feb 05 '16 at 15:15
@nikhil.thakkar I have excluded the v4 support module. The class that is giving error is from v7. — Sagar Devanga, Feb 05 '16 at 15:25
