its a 65 k method issue. You need to resolve it multi-dex jar — Praveen Sharma, Jun 26 '15 at 07:38
or you can shrink your google play service .jar as per your requirement — Praveen Sharma, Jun 26 '15 at 07:39

You should move to Android studio now. using gradle you can use specific google services. — NullByte, Jun 26 '15 at 07:42

This is the 65k issue. Your jar files contains more than 65k methods which the compiler can't handle resolving this. Moving to Android studio is the best option here.Google added multidex support in v0.14.0 of the Android Gradle plugin, so now things are very straight-forward.Find the solution here.

Now, if you don't want to move to studio at the moment, you can do one workaround. You have to identify the unused methods in your jar file say,google play service jar file(In fact, most may be unused) and remove that. After removing those methods, create new jar file and replace the old one. But I recommend you to move to Android Studio as soon as possible, since the Android developers' website is recommending that.
