java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Android Studio

Question

I'm trying to send an email using my app but I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError whenever I run it. The app is a simple button. When I press it it always crashes and give me that error. I have tried commons-mail library, javamail and commons-net but I always get that. My code is the following:

MainActivity.java:

package com.test.email;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.os.Build;
import android.widget.Button;

import org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException;
import com.test.email.gmail;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
                    .commit();
        }
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
            case R.id.action_settings:
                return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    /**
     * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
     */
    public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener {

        public PlaceholderFragment() {
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
            Button btn = (Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.button);
            btn.setOnClickListener(this);
            return rootView;
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            switch (v.getId()){
                case R.id.button:
                    try{gmail.send();}
                    catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
                    System.out.println("heyy");
                break;
            }

        }
    }

    }

Gmail.java

package com.test.email;

import org.apache.commons.mail.EmailException;
import org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail;
import org.apache.commons.net.smtp.AuthenticatingSMTPClient;
import org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTPClient;
import org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SMTPReply;
import org.apache.commons.net.smtp.SimpleSMTPHeader;

import java.io.Writer;

/**

public class gmail {

    public static void send() throws EmailException{
        SimpleEmail mail = new SimpleEmail();
        //Configuracion necesaria para GMAIL
        mail.setHostName("smtp.gmail.com");
        mail.setTLS(true);
        mail.setSmtpPort(587);
        mail.setSSL(true);
        //En esta seccion colocar cuenta de usuario de Gmail y contraseña
        mail.setAuthentication("", "");

        //Cuenta de Email Destino
        mail.addTo("");
        //Cuenta de Email Origen, la misma con la que nos autenticamos
        mail.setFrom("");
        //Titulo del Email
        mail.setSubject("Email enviado usando Apache Commons Email");
        //Contenido del Email
        mail.setMsg("Mail enviado usando una cuenta de correo de GMAIL");
        mail.send();

    }
}

And yes I have correctly imported all the libraries and added them to build.gradle.

There's a bug we've been tracking in https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63366 where you have to clean your project after adding a dependency (this will hopefully be fixed in Android Studio 0.4.0). Could you try cleaning your project ( menu > ) and try again?
