java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lorg/jacoco/agent/rt/internal_b0d6a23/Offline;

[solepa...@gmail.com]

I have a library with basic UI components like TextView, EditText etc all in terms of items. When I consume that library to show the items on my main application inside a listview using a custom ArrayAdapter I get the following error.
I DON'T have Jacoco in any of my dependencies (library or the app). I have disabled auto-run as suggested here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37152590/java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-failed-resolution-of-lorg-jacoco-agent-rt-inter

I still get the error!!!
This isn't specific to emulator or device launches. It happens on both!

I have created the following repos to help someone debug the issue if they think they can help me with this. This isn't the exact project i am facing the issue in, but it is a good replica of what I am doing in my own project.

Library : https://github.com/solepatch/uielementsexample
Application that consumes the above library and throws the exception : https://github.com/solepatch/myapplicationexample

This issue happens with a simple app launch and NOT with Jacoco or Instrumentation tests or anything to do with tests at all!
run ./gradlew clean install on the library, and run the application in an emulator or device to replicate the issue.
It crashes on launch!

Quoting FAQ at http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/faq.html - Why do I get an error "ClassNotFoundException: org.jacoco.agent[...]Offline"?

If you use offline instrumentation the instrumented classes get a direct dependency on the JaCoCo runtime. Therefore jacocoagent.jar of the same JaCoCo version must be on the classpath and accessible from by the instrumented classes.
