Answer 1

create a class lets name it App and extend from MultiDexApplication like this:

import android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication;

public class App extends MultiDexApplication {
    //you can leave this empty or override methods if you like so the thing is that you need to extend from MultiDexApplication
}

in your manifest add App as your application name just like this

<application
        android:name=".App" // <<< this is the important line!
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name">

After adding everything make a clean build and it should work now :).

Answer 2

Override attachBaseContext method in your application class

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