Ionic Build Android command fails with an exception after trying to add ngCordova calendar plugin

I am working ionic(1.7.15) in ubuntu.

My project works fine until i try to implement calendar plugin. After installing this plugin to my project and i try to build with ionic build android command but i am getting the following error.

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;

I hope the above error occurs due to multiple plugin in my project is there any solution. I found this error is related to multidex from here.

What i have tried:

I have tried the upgrading my android SDK.

Using this stack-overflow question Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':_armv7DebugCompile' i have done all after that i am getting the above error.

Here is my package.json file

I have no idea about what went wrong please anyone help me.

Your problem is you are using an outdated version of the push plugin. From your package.json, you are including https://github.com/rossmartin/PushPlugin.git which is a unmaintained branch of a deprecated plugin that hasn't been updated in 2 years. Hence, if you look at its plugin.xml, you can see it includes the Android Support Library as a JAR for the legacy Ant-driven Cordova build process:

<source-file src="src/android/com/plugin/android-support-v13.jar" target-dir="libs/" />

You need to remove this version of the plugin and replace it with the up-to-date equivalent cordova-plugin-push, which uses Gradle to include the support library:

<framework src="com.android.support:support-v13:23+" />

Note you will need to build for Android API v23, so must have this installed via the SDK Manager and be using v5+ of the Cordova Android platform (cordova-android@5+).

UPDATE

In build.gradle file i add this lines.

In dependencies add this line compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

    dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START
    debugCompile project(path: "CordovaLib", configuration: "debug")
    releaseCompile project(path: "CordovaLib", configuration: "release")
    compile "com.android.support:support-v4:+"
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' 

}

default config add this line multiDexEnabled true

defaultConfig {
        versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0")
        applicationId privateHelpers.extractStringFromManifest("package")

        if (cdvMinSdkVersion != null) {
            minSdkVersion cdvMinSdkVersion

        }
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

After adding this lines then i got his error reffer this website and i solved it by removing platform/android/libs/ You can see "android-support-v13.jar" delete that file

all your plugin that have been installed for project look for plugin.xml file and then check any line that reefer to that android-support-v13.jar and comment it or do as above, thank you
