NoClassDeffoundError when adding Parse-1.9.4.jar to Android Studio

Question

Before adding Parse-1.9.4.jar to my Android Studio project everything work fine. But after adding it I got this error:

E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Things that I have tried:

Put Parse-1.9.4.jar into libs directory, add compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) in dependencies
Do gradlew clean and rebuild the project
Also I have added bolts-android-1.2.0.jar to the project

Hope you guys could help, I have spent hours on this problem.

Have you installed the support library? See this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22271759/fixing-error-in-styles-xml-to-generate-r-java-no-resource-found-name-theme-ap/22271850#22271850 and here https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html — Andrew Fielden, Jul 27 '15 at 10:09
@AndrewFielden Yes I have installed and update my support library. I am using 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'. Everything works fine until I add "Parse-1.9.4.jar" to my project. If I remove the jar, everything works ok. — Rain Vu, Jul 27 '15 at 10:18

i also got the same error while adding parse 1.9.4 in android studio.. but i'll fix issue by adding the below dependency

dependencies {

        compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
        compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'   
        compile  files('libs/Parse-1.9.2.jar')
        compile  files('libs/bolts-android-1.2.0.jar')
        compile  files('libs/bolts-android-1.2.0-javadoc.jar')
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
  }
