jReddit and Java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error


I would like to write application in Android Studio (v. 1.1.0) to browse reddit. I found API wrapper jReddit and would like to use it.

At first I just try to initialize RestClient (method is called when I click on button), but I get error:

     Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Class not found using the boot class loader; no stack available

Code with initialization:

public void tlacitko(View v)
    {
        RestClient restClient;
        restClient = new PoliteHttpRestClient();//= new HttpRestClient();

        //User user = new User(restClient, "nick", "dasdasd");
    }

Libs to compile:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile files('libs/jreddit-1.0.2.jar')
compile files('libs/httpclient-4.4.jar')
compile files('libs/jna-4.1.0.jar')
compile files('libs/jna-platform-4.1.0.jar')
compile files('libs/commons-io-2.4.jar')

I think I have all needed libs, where can I do mistake?

UPDATE

I just try again my project. I add dependency:

dependencies {
    //compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
    compile('com.github.jreddit:jreddit:1.0.3') {
        exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
        exclude module: 'junit'
    }
    compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'
}

but when I try to run project, I get error:

    Error:duplicate files during packaging of APK D:\ZCU\AndroidStudioProjects\JredditTest\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug-unaligned.apk
    Path in archive: META-INF/DEPENDENCIES

You can ignore those files in your build.gradle:
    android {
      packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
      }
    }
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'.

This error occurs only in Android studio. I tried Maven dependency in Eclipse and jreddit work great there.


Solution

  • I am the current maintainer for the jReddit project.

    I recently created a sample android example which makes use of jreddit library. Haven't done much for the example, but the android app would work fine with the jreddit jar in it.

    I took me a while to figure things out, but basically these are the dependencies that I've used in order to make the android app work and I think it should help you out as well.

    Also, pay attention to the version that I posted (1.0.3) which is the latest jReddit release which includes several changes that help android developers out.

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    android {
        compileSdkVersion 21
        buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
    
        defaultConfig {
            applicationId "jreddit.github.com.jredditsampleproject"
            minSdkVersion 19
            targetSdkVersion 21
            versionCode 1
            versionName "1.0"
        }
        buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            }
        }
        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
            targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
        }
    
        packagingOptions {
            exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
            exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
            exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
            exclude 'META-INF/plexus/components.xml'
        }
    }
    
    dependencies {
        compile('com.github.jreddit:jreddit:1.0.3') {
            exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
            exclude module: 'junit'
        }
        compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    }
