What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Android Studio uses gradle. With Maven+Eclipse, this problem doesn't occur.

This is likely because the jar packages the asm classes.  Worst the jar 
packages and old version of the asm classes.  Looks like asm 3.3.1.  
Regardless, if you have anything else on your classpath that uses these classes 
or even the newer classes then you will get this.

I have just upgrade asm deps to the last org.ow2.asm.asm 5.0.3.

asm pkh will be renamed in the same release.
