There are many solution for this error.

Some said increasing the heap memory of android studio will solve this.

Some, asking to use multi dex library. Multidex library setup

In my case, this issue occurs only at the time of adding recycler view as dependency in my project. Because my existing code project added to recycler-view might led to have over 65k line of code of my entire project. This is clear to me.

Now the only question I have got is, I don't use gradle build system in my project. Does any one have the complete steps to use Multidex library for Android studio build? (Not gradle build)

My project structure:

You can only have 65536 methods for dex. You have to use the multidex setup. Increasing the heap memory you will not resolve the issue. – Gabriele Mariotti Oct 23 '15 at 10:48
I don't use build.gradle file. How can I enable this "multiDexEnabled true"? and where in android studio? – Ashokchakravarthi Nagarajan Oct 23 '15 at 10:50
Do you use Android Studio or Eclipse? – Gabriele Mariotti Oct 23 '15 at 10:51
Check inside your module folder. You should have the build.gradle file. – Gabriele Mariotti Oct 23 '15 at 10:54
No .. I don't have it. I have updated the question with screenshot of my project structure. You can check it.. – Ashokchakravarthi Nagarajan Oct 23 '15 at 11:02
