Are you sure this is the full gradle file you are posting ? Or you removed something to optimize question. — Shree Krishna, Apr 06 '16 at 04:27
remove the fileTree line ie compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) — cafebabe1991, Apr 06 '16 at 04:27

Replace your defaultConfig with this or just add multiDexEnabled true in your defaultConfig

defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.example.android.animationsdemo'
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 17
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

Put this code in your gradle.

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled = true
 }

Enable multidex in your build gradle. It should be inside the build gradle having the package name, version name, code etc and not on the outer .gradle file.

Add

multiDexEnabled = true

inside defaultConfig
