Can anyone please help me to solve this issue?

If your are using android maven integration, you should add the “provided” scope in your android sdk dependency.

<dependency>        
<groupId>com.google.android</groupId>        
<artifactId>android</artifactId>        
<version>2.3.3</version>        
<scope>provided</scope>        
</dependency>
