java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.R$string at com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzam.<init>(Unknown Source)

I am building an Android App and everything works correctly for Android 5.+. However, for Android 4.x, I am getting the following error when I try to compile using Android Studio:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
              java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.R$string

                  at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

In my dependencies, I already tried both compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

and also compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0'.

I have been trying to find solutions online and people recommend to add Google Play Services dependencies, but I already did that. I had also tried compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' but I do not think that would make any difference because in any case, I saw this message popping up in Android Studio:

"Instant Run does not support deploying build variants with multidex enabled, to a target with API level 20 or below. To use Instant Run with a multidex enabled build variant, deploy to a target with API level 21 or higher."

Any hints? Thank you.

The solution was simply adding the following code in my class that extended Application:

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

The solution was at java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.internal.zzmp, so this question could be marked as duplicate.
