More than one of your dependencies has included the support-v4 libraries. It's hard to help without seeing your gradle files - OneCricketeer

One/Some of the libraries files you have included already using support-v4 library.So remove line "compile 'com.android.support:...." from the dependencies in your gradle file.

skip the using of proguard. remove the reference of proguard file from build.gradle.

You need to comment following line. 

proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('your file path'),
