Well in my case i was accessing an static array of a class by reference of that class  but as we know we can directly access static member via class name  So when I replaced reference with class name where I was accessing that array  It fixed this error

I had the same issue and I could solve it like this:

1) If your minSdkVersion is set to 21 or a higher value, the only thing you need to do is to set multiDexEnabled in your build.gradle file at the module level, as shown below:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 21 
        targetSdkVersion 28
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

2) However, if your minSdkVersion is set to 20 or less, you should use the MultiDex compatibility library, as follows:

2.1) Modify the module-level build.gradle file to enable MultiDex and add the MultiDex library as dependency, as shown below

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 15 
        targetSdkVersion 28
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}

2.2) According to the Application class or not, do one of the following actions:

2.2.1) If you do not cancel the Application class, modify your manifest file to set android: name in the <application> tag as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

2.2.2) If you cancel the Application class, you must change it to extend MultiDexApplication (if possible) as shown below:

public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication { ... }

2.2.3) Also, if you override the Application class and can not change the base class, alternatively you can override the attachBaseContext () method and invoke MultiDex.install (this) to enable MultiDex:

public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherApplication {
  @Override
  protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
     super.attachBaseContext(base);
     MultiDex.install(this);
  }
}

Please use this link, it was really useful for me!

My Simple Answer is and only solution     Please Check The layout files  which you added lastly there MUST be a error in the  xml file for sure   We may simply copy and pasting  xml file from other project and something missing in the xml file    Error in the  xml file would be some of the below       Something missing in Drawable folder or String xml Or Dimen xml      After Placing all the available code in the respected folders do not forget to CLEAN The Project

I have been struggling with this problem for 2 days. And tried all options. Finally noticed that after updating my android studio, it was not showing me the compile errors like @v.d. wrote above. My problem was, In my build files, I was using compile(which should be replaced with implementation or api) and testcompile(which also replaced by testimplementation). Notice that I have changed in whole build files(android, app and others - in my case I also had folding-cell library)

for example instead of this

compile project(path: ':folding-cell')

write this

implementation project(path: ':folding-cell')

For me the only thing that works is to add to repositories

maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }

It should look like this:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
