How to fix: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.slf4j.LoggerFactory

I have an project which includes a libraryproject. My main project has the following dependencies: 

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile project(':foundationclasses')
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'

    //NEUROTECHNOLOGY
    compile files('libs/neurotec-media-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-media-processing-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-licensing-gui-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-licensing-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-gui-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-devices-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-core-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-cluster-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-biometrics-gui-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-biometrics-client-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/neurotec-biometrics-android.jar')
    compile files('libs/jna.jar')
    compile files('libs/acra.jar')

    //CREDENCE
    compile files('libs/CredenceDeviceLib.jar')

    //OTHER
    compile 'cn.pedant.sweetalert:library:1.3'
    compile 'com.github.fengdai:alertdialogpro-theme-material:0.2.6'
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.9.3'
    compile 'com.wang.avi:library:1.0.2'
    compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-api', version: '1.7.12'
}

My library project`s dependencies: 

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'
    compile 'com.github.tony19:logback-android-classic:1.1.1-4'
    compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-api', version: '1.7.12'
}

gradlew app:dependencies gives the following result:

The {org.slf4j.LoggerFactory} class ships with slf4j-api.jar. For some mysterious reason slf4j-api.jar is not part of your application at runtime.

You included the slf4j API but no implementation. There are several different implementation modules depending on the logger you want to use.

For example, you could add a dependency for the simple logger:

dependencies {
    ...
    runtime group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-simple', version: '1.7.12'
    ...
}
