To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has approximately 910 MB.
For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB.
To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M in the project gradle.properties.
For more information see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html

You have several declarations of support library in your gradle.build. Here is a nice guide how to identify the cause of problem.

Also you can try this easy fix:

android {
    dexOptions {
        preDexLibraries = false
    }
}

Follow the steps on java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: okhttp3.internal.Util

You have enabled "multiDexEnabled true" and most probably you are not installing it in Application class.

This is how you should do

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

         defaultConfig {
             minSdkVersion 14 //lower than 14 doesn't support multidex
             targetSdkVersion 22

             // Enabling multidex support.
             multiDexEnabled true       //You have already did this 
         }
}


dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'   // add this in  dependencies
}

And finally extend the application

public class YouApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }

}

And this is a good guide https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html
