if your minSdkVersion is set to 20 or lower, then you have to use the multidex support library as:

module-level.gradle ---

android {
defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 15 
    targetSdkVersion 26
    multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}

dependencies {
 compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

and in your Application class

public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherApplication {
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
 super.attachBaseContext(base);
 MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
