Just make sure that you are editing the correct build.gradle file. You will get this error when editing android/build.gradle instead of android/app/build.gradle.

add multiDexEnabled = true in your build.gradle 

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

dependencies {
  ...
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
  ...
}

add this to manifest file 

android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

and your Activity class

    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
     super.attachBaseContext(base);
     MultiDex.install(this);
     }
