Search well on SO. It's full of this questions. Anyway, the majority of these depends whether on enabling MultiDex or to wrong libraries inclusions (e.g. for versions, etc.). BTW you must paste also your build gradle files and the build gradle output full error if you want that someone get an useful clue for it. — shadowsheep, Mar 15 '18 at 17:11
As a first sight you have the wrong firebase ui version. Check the site for the right one. There an helpful table. https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android — shadowsheep, Mar 15 '18 at 17:13
Be sure to have multi dex enabled: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html. — shadowsheep, Mar 15 '18 at 17:20

As a first sight you have the wrong firebase ui version. Check the site for the right one. There an helpful table.

Try use firebase ui 3.2.2 or 3.1.3

For example:

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:3.1.3'

And pay attention to migration notes.

Update firebase-ui from version 2.4 or lower to 3.0 needs some refactoring:

Auth:

No major changes.

Database:

The API for all of the adapter classes has been completely revamped to be more flexible and easier to understand.

Firestore:

Support for the brand new database product, Cloud Firestore. See the product documentation for more information.

Storage:

Support for Glide version 4.0.0 and higher.

If only that doesn't work if you have updated some of your libraries version, try to checkout (do you have a versioning system like git I hope) the latest version that build and update your libraries one at a time. Remember that 'divide et impera' is on of the oldest and most useful among debug methods when I haven't a clue).

And be sure to have multi dex enable and make a fresh clean of your project.

@MohammadSamer is the project under a version control system? Git, SVN. Do you have a version of your project that builds I guess ( and hope :) ). Get it and update the libraries one at a time, remember the association between firebase and firebase-ui. — shadowsheep, Mar 15 '18 at 17:29
@MohammadSamer look also at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46267621/unable-to-merge-dex and don't stop at the choosen solution, but read all scenarios. — shadowsheep, Mar 15 '18 at 17:33
