Android - transform Classes With Dex For Debug

Question

My project was working fine until I added the Facebook dependency. I've started getting this error. I've read many question, the problem seems to be related to MultiDex. But none of the solutions worked for me

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: 
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Even after I remove what I've added, it still show and also gradle seems to be taking a lot of time while building than usual

Here is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "net.ciblo.spectrodraft"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    multiDexEnabled true

}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }

}
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'
compile 'com.daimajia.easing:library:1.0.1@aar'
compile 'com.daimajia.androidanimations:library:1.1.3@aar'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
compile 'com.pnikosis:materialish-progress:1.5'
compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.+'

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.1'
compile 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.5'

}

Adding the following code to build.gradle app module solved my problem

android{
    defaultConfig {

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }


    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }
}
dependencies {
    //...
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
