Please note that there are a number of problems when using Apache POI on Android. The one you are hitting can be solved by the so called "multiDex" feature in newer versions of Android.

There are currently two projects which try to solve most of the problems for you:

  1. https://github.com/andruhon/android5xlsx
  2. https://github.com/centic9/poi-on-android/ (mainted by me)

The first one is currently based on POI 3.12, whereas the second can be re-compiled with newer versions of POI more easily.

If you use too much code for any android app, the compilation will throw this error. The similar problem is stated and resolved here. You should split the app in parts as a plugin, in the form of a separate APK available for download. That APK would expose some component that the main app would use. There are various app on google play of such kind.
