java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded facing this error while executing android project

Question

Following is the code of app.gradle file. My individual project module works perfectly but while combines every module in single application I am getting this error. I have made this application for android smartphone only.

Which necessary library should include? I have read about this error and enabled multiDexEnabled and also imported com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1 but still getting this error.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android 
{
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.mayankacharya.dementiahelpdesk"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}
repositories {
maven {
    url     'https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/maven2'
}
}

dependencies 
{
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'


compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.4+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.1.0'
compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:17.46.448.10'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

While Compiling Android Project I am getting this error.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

Try adding this to your build file.

dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

in the same file brother or in another gradle file? – Mayank Acharya Apr 18 '16 at 18:33
In the same one, try adding it under buildTypes – Claud Apr 18 '16 at 18:34
