Answer 1

Aha!

Seems the answer was further up in trace: The error was

com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/nineoldandroids/animation/Animator$AnimatorListener;

Part of the trick is not only to add the line to build.gradle saying

Sometimes, you would have to remove android libraries which you have in libs folder while you were working in EclipseADT. I recommend to remove android-support-v*.jar from the libs folder after importing it to the Android Studio Directory.
