These Exception Occurs in the first line of the below function in
the Subclass of MultidexApplication.

public static void initImageLoader(Context context) {
// This configuration tuning is custom. You can tune every option, you may tune some of them,
// or you can create default configuration by
// ImageLoaderConfiguration.createDefault(this);
// method.
ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(context)
.threadPriority(Thread.NORM_PRIORITY - 2)
.denyCacheImageMultipleSizesInMemory()
.diskCacheFileNameGenerator(new Md5FileNameGenerator())
.tasksProcessingOrder(QueueProcessingType.LIFO) // Remove for release app
.build();
// Initialize ImageLoader with configuration.
ImageLoader.getInstance().init(config);

As the experience in using another library, try to remove any .jar file or remove any included model as library. Only the Universal Image Loader.

Reason: AndroidStudio think the jar file is the library he need, not the Gradle one.

i also need solution

[kenneth2008]

Remove any jar file which name included UniversalImageLoader.
Reinstall by Gradle

[javalue]

add

@Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }

in your Application

it's typically a problem of 64k methods issue: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html
And yes, @javalue have provided a perfect solution.
