Add this to your application class..

   @Override
   protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
      super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.onAttach(base, "hi"));
      MultiDex.install(this);
 }

like :-

also extend the MultiDexApplication by your Application class

public class MyApplication  extends MultiDexApplication {



      @Override
      protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
           super.attachBaseContext(base);
           MultiDex.install(this);
}


     @Override
     public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
          super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

     }


}

Edit:- As you are using targetSdkVersion <=23 you need to install it manually.,. and dont forget to add android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" to your application tag in the manifest.xml.. like this :-
