The error says the number of method references in dex file cannot exceed 64.
I have tried changing the emulator I used and also changed how I launch the app, but no display still.

Try setting 

minSdkVersion = 21

or higher in your gradle file and tell us if it fixes

The problem is with the multidex file of android.

Setting minSdkVersion to 21 or higher enable by default multidex. If you want to keep down the minsdk, you could also follow the answer that was given here: How to enable multidexing with the new Android Multidex support library
