Android Studio java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError on Launch

Question

I added the module dependency in build.gradle and apparently Android Studio doesnt complain, no compilation errors. but when I hit "Run" to launch the app I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

I'm using Android Studio's Gradle.

I tried: gradle clean + gradle assemble and got successful build, but still failed on launch.

my build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
    compile group:'com.deebl', name:'deebl-client-core', version:'0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 17
    buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 7
        targetSdkVersion 16
    }
}

Exception:
