post your Utility class and the method that gives VerifyError — Manish Jain, Jun 08 '16 at 07:08
see if the cases listed [here](https://examples.javacodegeeks.com/java-basics/exceptions/java-lang-verifyerror-how-to-solve-verifyerror) covers your situation. — Akeshwar Jha, Jun 08 '16 at 07:08
@manish jain , for all methods its giving error, like printing log also — Giteeka Sawlani, Jun 08 '16 at 07:31

actually it was occurring for different reason, Utility class has detect finger print code that's why it was not compiling properly, Thanks for help : — Giteeka Sawlani, Jun 08 '16 at 10:05

I solved this error by placing gms library separately:

Before I have used :

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'

That above one line will take care of GCM and all google related libaries.But this one line cause a verifier error.On top of the verifier error you can see some gms related log.

After that I have added separately like this to fix this issue :

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.1.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:8.1.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.1.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.1.0'

 compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0'    // for gcm push notification
