I faced this problem several times. It can be happened because of databinding, same library present, libraries that uses same things but sdk version mismatch. — Shaon, Mar 01 '18 at 17:26
for sure you are using firebaseui 2.3.0 with firebase 11.8.0 and that's not good. You have to look at this table: https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android. With firebase 11.8.0 you must use firebaseui 3.1.3 or 3.2.2 — shadowsheep, Mar 03 '18 at 16:20
