Android Studio 2.1 won't run my App

Question

I've just updated my Android Studio version to the new 2.1. The problem is after I've launched my AVD, and I try to run my App, it crashes giving me a list of errors:

1st:

Error:Error converting bytecode to dex:
Cause: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception parsing classes

2nd:

Error:1 error; aborting
:app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug FAILED

3rd:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException:
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

EDIT:

Going to the right-top corner all the way through "Gradel" panel > :app > Tasks > build > double clicking on clean solved my issue!

have you tried gradle clean? – Androiderson May 08 '16 at 12:22 — Androiderson, May 08 '16 at 12:22

I think this post might be useful to you:

com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException

From the post:

First clean your project. Go to the right hand side "gradle" pane, look for the clean task and execute it. Many times I've had this problem and I could get it to work just by cleaning the project.

If it does not work, then set the multiDexEnabled property to true:

 defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}

Do it in your app's build.gradle.

I hope it helps!
