In my Build.gradle (Module:app) I have

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-alpha8'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.4.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:1.2.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

And in build.gradle(Project) I have this

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I have seen these answers

All they suggest to use the same version of firebase services. You can see that I have already done that, the only version of ui-database and ui-storage are different.

Also short note:-MultiDex is enabled and minify is disabled.

Libraries ui-xxx are from "com.firebaseui" group so their version can be different to those coming from "com.google.firebase". — BhalchandraSW, Jun 02 '17 at 10:25
For storage , auth, database only or for all including ui libraries? — mayur newase, Jun 02 '17 at 10:30
Those with group "com.google.firebase" use 10.2.6, those with group "com.firebaseui" use 1.2.0. group is the url that comes before colon (:) in a dependency. — BhalchandraSW, Jun 02 '17 at 10:34

The problem in your dependencies is that your firebaseui library is not compatible with firebase library.

Check Compatibility with Firebase / Google Play Services Libraries.

You want 1.2.0 version of firebaseui and therefore you must update firebase library to 10.2.0+.

In your build.gradle you need to add all the dependencies -

dependencies {
    // FirebaseUI Database only
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.2.0'

    // FirebaseUI Auth onl
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:1.2.0'

    // FirebaseUI Storage only
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:1.2.0'

    // Single target that includes all FirebaseUI libraries above
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:1.2.0'
 }

If this doesn't fix your error then you might want to add these files as well

  compile "com.android.support:design:23.2.1"
  compile "com.android.support:customtabs:23.2.1"
  compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.1"

I hope after doing all this, your issue should be long gone. Btw for more information on this, you can check out the Git repo of Firebase - https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#installation actually this has all the details.
