libGDX + com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0 : android:dexDebug

I made a game with libgdx.

When I add the next line to gradle:

compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0"

It does sync correctly. But then I try to run my app and the next error emerges:

Error:Execution failed for task ':android:dexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:
    C:\[...]\Android\sdk2\build-tools\21.1.2\dx.bat --dex --no-optimize --output C:\[...]\android\build\intermediates\dex\debug --input-list=C:\[...]\android\build\intermediates\tmp\dex\debug\inputList.txt
Error Code:
    2
Output:
    UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

You need to selectively add only the part of the Google Play Services that you actually need. See this for reference.

LibGDX is a fairly large library, have you either enabled multidex or tried to remove unused code?

To do so simply in build.gradle

`android {
   defaultConfig {
      ...
      multiDexEnabled = true
   }
}`

Try taking a look at this thread and see if any of these are of any aid to you if this was not the issue:

Unable to execute dex: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536
