UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

I have below dependencies in my Gradle file :

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "packagename"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 23
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            jni.srcDirs = []
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
    compile files('libs/FLurry_3.2.2.jar')
    compile files('libs/pixel-perfect-collision.jar')
    compile files('libs/twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar')
    compile project(':zip_file')
    compile project(':andEngine')
    compile project(':andEnginePhysicsBox2DExtension')
    compile project(':downloader_library')
    compile project(':viewPagerLibrary')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'
    compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
}

On building gradle file I am getting below error of :

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

To solve this error I have already added multidex dependency :

 compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

Still looping around ..

Edited : Already solved problem so do not try to duplicate it and solution is below..!!

Hoping for help.!

Thanks.

this problem occurs while your whole project have more then 64000 methods. so you have to add dependency to application build.gradle file 

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

and then add this tag to AndrodManifest.xml to application item

 <application
    ...
    android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">

If your app uses extends the Application class add this code

@Override
public void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    MultiDex.install(base);
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
}

and then next step is to Add multidex support to defaultConfig at build.gradle

defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 21
    ...
    // Enabling multidex support.
    multiDexEnabled true
}

It means your app exceeds 65k method count limit of android app. It seems you are using google play service which is mammoth.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'

As this document says

You can reduce this by using only the play services you need shown in the same link above. Example if your app only needs gcm you can use its subset like:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0

etc.

You should add

  multiDexEnabled true

in build.gradle

defaultConfig {

    applicationId 'pkg'
    minSdkVersion 
    targetSdkVersion 
    versionCode 
    versionName 

    // Enable MultiDexing:  https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
    multiDexEnabled true
}
