On your gradle add this line compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

on your app singleton class add this extends MultiDexApplication

this should solve your problem.

@Hemant Parmar Thanks for your response ...But this solution didn't work for me...i am getting the same error again.... – s.vijay Mar 22 '18 at 12:57
ok, could you try removing this line `compile files('libs/gson-2.8.0.jar')`? you already have `compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.0'` so the line i mentions before is not needed – Sergio Rodriguez Mar 22 '18 at 14:02

This is because you have multiple GSON dependencies in your project. You need to use only one. You should use only the library via maven with this:

compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.0'

You should remove the following:

compile files('libs/gson-2.8.0.jar')

And don't forget to remove the gson-2.8.0.jar file in libs/ folder. Because you are including all the jar inside the libs with the following line:

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
