Trouble with logging and Junit test within Android Junit project

I have an Android project in which I have a few activities as well as some regular java code, all of which I would like to be able to test using Junit. I have created an Android Junit project alongside my regular android project and included Junit 4 libraries so that I can run both android junit tests and regular junit tests.

Everything was working fine, i.e. Junit tests were running and passing, until I tried to add logging into my main project using SLF4J for Android. Now whenever I try to run a Junit test I get an error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android/util/Log
...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.util.Log

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this error is occurring? If there is a better way to set up my project to make both Junit and Android Junit testing possible, I'm all ears!

If you are running tests as JUnit on your host's JVM you will not be able to access Android classes like android.util.Log. android.jar provides only stubs.
