Can someone help me solve this problem?

Answer 1

In your case

Remove this dependency from your build.gradle file

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'

and Add separate one like this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.4.0'

this should solve your problem.
