Question

I know there is certain limit of functions for app.

I'm using play services and using resources from it like color resources etc

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.2

what specific api should I compile with like compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services- ?????? :11.0.2'

You need to enable multiDex for your project, check this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26515860/6504367 — Harsh Ganatra, Aug 08 '17 at 11:26

Do not use whole play services compile statement directly. You should include individual modules of play service that your app is using. For example if your app is using location services you should inly include

com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4

or if you are using Google Analytics you should only include

com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.0.4

you can find individual module compile gradle statements here

I'm using resources from play services like @colors,symbols and I'm not finding in which module they are :( – Muhammad Ali Aug 08 '17 at 12:03
what resources exactly? are you sure they belong to play services only? – Abhishek Bansal Aug 08 '17 at 12:04
Yes when I remove play services alot of resources errors occured ..like @color/ not found – Muhammad Ali Aug 08 '17 at 12:12
Thats probably because your project is failing to build in first place and R.java is not created – Abhishek Bansal Aug 08 '17 at 12:42
