Adding an external jar library to Intellij IDEA

Question

I'm having a silly problem : I'm trying to add the Jsoup library (which is just an external jar) to my android application developed in Intellij Idea and it seems and don't do it right . I put the library in the libs folder , then I went in Project Structure -> modules and selected dependencies , select add global library , select attach source and click ok.

When I write code it is able to automatically import classes and to compile , but when running I get " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.jsoup.Jsoup"

In IntelliJ IDEA 15 you can also access the Project Structure menu item from "File" item in the menu bar. Select Libraries from the list on the left. Click the "+" to browse the file, select it and you're done. It will be added to the "External Libraries" directory in your project.
