App crashes when trying to extend SherlockActivity in android studio

Question

After importing the actionbarsherlock module, my app crashes on any activity that extends the SherlockActivity. I am not sure if I had imported it incorrectly or something needs to be adjusted but I have followed a guide that was previously posted here on stackoverflow. If i extend Activity and not sherlockActivity there will be no crash. Guide https://stackoverflow.com/a/16591272/1671933 Logcat

Post the link to the `Guide` that you have followed . Did you build the entire project after importing the module and imparting it to your files ? — The Dark Knight, May 24 '13 at 12:45
Did you directly copy the jar into `libs` folder and add it to the build path ? — The Dark Knight, May 24 '13 at 12:49
No, I went through the importing module process, then setting actionbarsherlock as dependency in my project — kabuto178, May 24 '13 at 12:50
I think , instead of that you should just add it as a reference and have no physical existence in your project set up . Twirl it here in this link :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11443262/actionbarsherlock-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-com-actionbarsherlock-rstyle Look at all the answers, any one of them might be a solution for you — The Dark Knight, May 24 '13 at 12:52

You need to make sure that the dependency scope is set to "compile". In some cases it seem to be set to "provided" which will cause a NoClassDefFoundError.
