could not find class android.os.userhandle,Class not found errors on blank Android Activity

When I create a blank activity in Android Studio 2.0 and try to run it on API 16 it compiles without errors. When I run it on an emulator with API 23 it runs without errors. When I run it on API 16 it gives me a bunch of errors when the app starts. See below. The weird thing is that the app runs OK.

What can be the cause of this?

In Android Studio I invalidated and cleared the cache. Also cleaned the project and rebuilt it.

For reference the code:

AndroidManifest.xml

package="nl.myapp.test">

android:allowBackup="true"

android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

android:label="@string/app_name"

android:supportsRtl="true"

android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

MainActivity.Java

package nl.myapp.test;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}

}

activity_main.xml

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

tools:context="nl.myapp.test.MainActivity">

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Hello World!" />
