Answer 1

If you have support-v4 and support-v7 (with different version) in build.gradle then add this line into your build.gradle at top.

configurations { all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' }

Answer 2

in my case, the

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

in my build.gradle exceeded the 65k method limit.

i changed it to

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:6.5.87'

to fix it (i only need maps in my application)

hope that helps

I got this error today out of nothing, after that i tried to update every single thing available, tried to change my gradle build as suggested here but none of it worked.
