May be you set Minimum SDK at Lollipop check it out in build.gradle file.

android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.communitynow.communitynow"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 24
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

and add compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' in gradle file

Here in defaultConig{} minSdkVersion should be 15 or according to your minimum android run requirement.

check in build.gradle(Module: app) – Akshay Jul 28 '16 at 10:03
Thank You, I got it – Singaram Manickam Jul 28 '16 at 10:04
In this there is minSdkversion 8 – Singaram Manickam Jul 28 '16 at 10:05
And the targetSdkVersion 23 – Singaram Manickam Jul 28 '16 at 10:06
Okay minSdkVersion is fine. Please check your theme and permission. May be it is the reason of error. Or upload more resources. – Akshay Jul 28 '16 at 10:08
add line in your gradle file **compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'** – Akshay Jul 28 '16 at 10:10
still not working after adding the compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' line....pls help me – Singaram Manickam Jul 30 '16 at 13:26
Does the values folder have a version counter, Such as /values-v22? and try to add **android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"** this line in manifest activity tag. otherwise you have to upload error stack. – Akshay Aug 01 '16 at 16:54

You need to create a kit kat emulator to run the app on then check the log cat to see what the error is.
