Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout$LayoutParams

I'm getting Multiple dex files define error in my project.

I'm using these two tags in build.gradle as well

dexOptions {
    preDexLibraries = false
}
defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true

}

but still getting this error.
