(Android) No Class Def Found Error for com.loopj.a

Question

I've added the following (http://loopj.com/android-async-http/) to my /libs folder and have also put it in the module settings as a library and ticked the export button. In the actual file there are no errors given that it can't find the class and when I do import com.loopj and so-forth it completes it for me and shows me the available options.

However, when I run it on my phone it gives the following errors:

12-02 23:00:08.943    8209-8209/mobi.vassilev.beam E/dalvikvm﹕ Could not find class   'com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpClient', referenced from method mobi.vassilev.beam.GoogleLoginActivity.requestAPIKeyFromOAuthToken

and the extract of code (not complete obv as the URL is fake, but that shouldn't affect anything):

  private void requestAPIKeyFromOAuthToken(String token) {
        AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();        // <-- this is line 118
        RequestParams params = new RequestParams("token", token);

        client.post("https://myrailsapp.com/api/v1/auth/verify", params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(String response) {
                Log.w("OAUTH", "Got API key from server: " + response);
                finish();
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Throwable e) {
                Log.w("OAUTH", "Error getting API key");
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.connection_error_message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        });
    }

Would anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thank you very much, Daniel

In Android Studio, you have to add your jar into the lib folder, add the dependency into the build.gradle file and call gradlew clean from console. The gradlew is in your project directory.
