ActionBarActivity - NoClassDefFoundError exception

Already seen: NoClassDefFoundError Android with ActionBarActivity and ActionBarActivity catch an error on Phone

I am trying to use ActionBarCompact in my project. I have linked android-support-v7 project as well as its jar in my project following and checking the steps from lots of sources, but still I am unable to deal with the problem.

When I built my project, there is no error, but there is exception at runtime. Don't know why class is not detected. Please tell me what is wrong. Thanks.

Code:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;

public class mainMenu extends ActionBarActivity implements ActionBar.OnNavigationListener {

    ActionBar actionbar;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.menutab);

        actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
        actionbar.setTitle("Menu");
        actionbar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);

        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> mSpinnerAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,R.array.menu_items, R.id.simpleText);
        actionbar.setListNavigationCallbacks(mSpinnerAdapter, this);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(int arg0, long arg1)//item pos, itemid
    {
        switch (arg0) {
        case 0:
            System.out.println("selected: " + arg0);
            break;
        case 1:
            System.out.println("selected: " + arg0);
            break;
        case 2:
            System.out.println("selected: " + arg0);
            break;
        case 3:
            System.out.println("selected: " + arg0);
            break;
        default:
            break;
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Solution

  • Try this:

    • Import support library as a project from "sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat".

    • Reference library in your project (for Eclipse, "Properties - Android - Add").

    • Build projects (for Eclipse, "Projects - Build All"). Make sure, you have "android.support.v7.appcompat"in your main project gen folder.

    If it still doesn't solve your problem, restart eclipse.

    then clean and rebuild project

    If the problem persists, remove the support library from you computer and redownload it and follow above mentioned steps.
