This is your error, then what is your question? – Arulkumar
developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html – Dinesh Kannan
@Arulkumar - that's not helpful - a seemingly obscure error message has a perfectly obvious implied question of "Why did this happen? How can I fix it?" That's not to say the question shouldn't be closed - it is perfectly clear and as ligi has demonstrated answerable, but it is also a duplicate of one that has been asked here quite a few times before. – Chris Stratton
@user1992200- Thank you it helps me. – PAC
@Chris Stratton - Thank you for your support. But I edited the question for more clarity for others. – PAC

You run into the method count limit. Either you use multidex or reduce the number of methods ( e.g. with proguard ) Please read this: https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
