things I have tried

1.clean ,rebuild
2.invalidate catch restart
3.multiplexEnabled **true** also add dependencies:implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

can anyone reslove my error?can anyone explain why i am getting this error??

@d-feverx no.but i set this-> android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" to my menifest file under application tag — Neha Raut
just try with an application class, developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex — d-feverx
@d-feverx what if i dont want to override.but i edit my menifest file to set android:name in the <application> tag as follows:android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" — Neha Raut

Add in gradle.property this line:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m

After that clean and rebuild the project.
