Build APK - ERROR - app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug

I watched so many threads here and still didnt find working solution.
When I want to BUILD APK, I get this main error:
Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:

There is few more errors, but then apear only sometimes, some of them:

What I tried:
In build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.biif.volunteer"
minSdkVersion 14

}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
shrinkResources false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
sourceSets.main {
jni.srcDirs = []// <-- disable automatic ndk-build call
}
}
dependencies {
compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'){exclude module: 'support-v4'}
compile files('libs/dagger-1.2.2.jar')
compile files('libs/javax.inject-1.jar')
compile files('libs/nineoldandroids-2.4.0.jar')
compile files('libs/support-v4-19.0.1.jar')
compile ('com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1')
}
In Manifest
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
Plus I turned off Instant run (saw in one thread here).
Nothing helped :( Any ideas please? Thanks for help guys :)

I included gradle.properties file in the project with:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx10248m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
and it works.

I am new on Android Studio. I am facing below mentioned error while building the project.

I have updated the android sdk also but no luck. Could you guys help me out that why I am facing this issue.
Kindly help me out with the solution.
Thanks in advance.
As commented: I have tried using removing the multiDexEnabled true
Then I got this error.

For the first error remove multiDexEnabled true.
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
for this one remove one of your com.google.android.gms:play-services libraries it is included more than once.
or add this in your build.gradle at the root level:
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services'
}
hope this will help.

error while creating PDF

I am trying to generate a PDF using Android Studio. I am using the iText library, but when I add it into Android studio, I get the following error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2
When I remove the library, my project successfully compiles. It works as expected when using Eclipse instead of Android Studio.
EDIT
Here is my build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {

I faced a similar problem yesterday. Just add this to your build.gradle file and clean/invalidate your project =)
android {
....
dexOptions {
jumboMode = true
}
}

I used iTextG library as suggesed by "Bruno Lowagie" in comment and Remove unused libraries.
The com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: exception is arrived because
As per android developer site
The Dalvik Executable specification limits the total number of methods that can be referenced within a single DEX file to 65,536, including Android framework methods, library methods, and methods in your own code.
https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
But with this method we got out of memory issue. To fix this we have to add in android closure.
dexOptions {
incremental true
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

Android GraphView Gradle "Failed to run" Error?

i need to do more graph in my app and i thought to import that library ( http://www.android-graphview.org/ ).
I just follow the rules and i add to the gradle the compile row.
That is :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.btc.btcmobile"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.jjoe64:graphview:4.0.0'
}
after that, i copy-paste the example on the site, but when i compile now i can see that error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:

How i can resolve?
Thanks.

In my case I had the GraphView4.1.jar inside the libs folder. I also had compile 'com.jjoe64:graphview:4.0.1' in the build.gradle. As soon as I removed the jar file from libs folder, the com.android.dex.DexException error was resolved.

How to Remove Duplicate Libraries added via gradle?

I am using two libraries in my project. One is this and the other is this.
Whenever I run the App with Edit Test library it shows UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
Error:Execution failed for task ':mobile:dexDebug'.

I Assume that the above error shows that com.nineoldandroids is added twice or conflicting.
So I tried to remove it in the build.gradle file. But it is still showing the error!
Is my Assumption is right? Or elsewhere did I go wrong?
Build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "me.aruhan.remt"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
configurations {
// to avoid double inclusion of support libraries
all*.exclude group: 'com.nineoldandroids', module: 'materialDesign'
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'
compile project(':materialDesign')
compile 'com.rengwuxian.materialedittext:library:1.7.1'
}

Instead of adding it in the Configurations. I added the exclude for only the library like this:
compile ('com.rengwuxian.materialedittext:library:1.7.1') {
exclude group: 'com.nineoldandroids', module: 'library'
}

Go to File > project structure > Inside module select your > click on Dependencies on right hand side and see there are duplicate libraries are present or not?
Also try invalidate/Restart cache

If the error occurring due to duplication of libraries you can use packagingOptions in build.gradle file.
android {
....
packagingOptions {
exclude '.....'
pickFirst '.....'
}
}
