The answer is right there: NoClassDefFoundError. You did not actually include the library classes in your application.

Separately, please do not copy android/ and use it as a clone. This is not even legal to use our name / UI / namespaces as-is.

You can do this by following the below link

However it is not recommended to use the sample project as a library project.
