Java No Class Def Found error

Question

Android thing run time exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/things/pio/PeripheralManager;

Manifest file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.androidthings.simplepio">

    <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@android:drawable/sym_def_app_icon"
        android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.things"/>
        <activity android:name=".BlinkActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>

            <!-- Launch activity automatically on boot -->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.IOT_LAUNCHER"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

This is my code, I got this from this Link, I just clone it nothing changed.
