The main cause is the in your string.xml contains one multiple item with the same name.

<string name="Cancel">Cancel</string>

Check this and remove one.

Hope this will this issue.

 defaultConfig                                                                                         
        {                                                                                             
            multiDexEnabled true                                                                      
        }
