Just updated my SDK to r20 and wanted to test out my app on an Ice Cream Sandwich 4.1 emulator. I get only 6 lines into my app when it crashes just trying to create a new database:
gradeBookDbAdapter mDbHelper = new gradeBookDbAdapter(this); <--- fails here
private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
public gradeBookDbAdapter(Context ctx) { <-- but it never gets here
this.mCtx = ctx;
}
<snip...</snip>
I can't even to any executable code with the constructor before it crashes with "java.lang.VerifyError:"
I'm using an external Library, Jexecelapi, to read/write Excel files. This has been working flawlessly since I first included it 3 major revisions ago. But now my LogCat says:

So I didn't notice in my first post the logcat text above the crash and was just going from the main error south. Any reason my library would be failing now?
turns out with the new SDK I had to put the libraries that I referenced in the /libs folder. That seems to have fixed things. –
