Try to run `./gradlew assembleDebug --debug` to get the full stacktrace. — Kuba Spatny, May 06 '15 at 12:07
Also it may be caused by the duplicated dependency of the recyclerview. — Kuba Spatny, May 06 '15 at 12:08
HI Kuba Spaty, I rebuild the app by removing the duplicate dependency , but same error again. As you told " ./gradlew assembleDebug --debug" , how to do that — Binil Surendran, May 07 '15 at 04:27

Remove compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+' from dependencies you have same multiple dependencies added:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.1.1'
    compile "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.4.0"
    }

Then rebuild project.

Its jar file issue . Picasso as jar file , I import it as jar as a module . So no need " compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') " in dependencies

Wrong code

dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.1.1'
compile "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.4.0"
}

Correct code

  dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.1.1'
compile "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.4.0"
}
