try new build.gradle:

i highly recommend trying move away multidex very slow.

repositories {     maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } }  android { ...      dependencies {         // gradle dependencies         compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'                // <-- 1.0.1         compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'             // <-- 21+         compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3.1'                   // <-- 2.2.4         compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.0.0'   // <-- 6.5.87         compile 'com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0@aar' // <-- deprecated, move appcompat         compile 'commons-io:commons-io:2.4'                         // <-- compile files('libs/commons-io-2.4.jar')         compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.8.1'                             // <-- compile files('libs/jsoup-1.8.1.jar')         compile 'com.github.philjay:mpandroidchart:v2.0.8'          // <-- compile files('libs/mpandroidchartlibrary-1-7-4.jar')         compile 'org.ocpsoft.prettytime:prettytime-nlp:3.2.5.final' // <-- files('libs/prettytime-3.2.5.final.jar')         // jars         compile files('libs/achartengine-1.1.0.jar')         compile files('libs/mail.jar')         compile files('libs/additionnal.jar')         compile files('libs/activation.jar')     } } 

i'd suggest trying remove of these dependencies:

• jake whartons's actionbarsherlock deprecated, switch app compat
• you have 2 chart libraries achartengine , mpandroidchartlibrary
• do need google's gson vs android's built-in json libs?
• do need common's io?
