Hi i’m new android. i’m working through the samples and have an error when running the HelloGridView app. Eclipse is giving the following error. Has anyone had the following error? Thanks.

trouble processing “javax/net/ServerSocketFactory.class”:

Attempt to include a core class (java.* or javax.*) in something other
than a core library. It is likely that you have attempted to include
in an application the core library (or a part thereof) from a desktop
virtual machine. This will most assuredly not work. At a minimum, it
jeopardizes the compatibility of your app with future versions of the
platform. It is also often of questionable legality.

If you really intend to build a core library — which is only
appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine distribution,
as opposed to compiling an application — then use the
“–core-library” option to suppress this error message.

If you go ahead and use “–core-library” but are in fact building an
application, then be forewarned that your application will still fail
to build or run, at some point. Please be prepared for angry customers
who find, for example, that your application ceases to function once
they upgrade their operating system. You will be to blame for this
problem.

If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a core
package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to repackage
that code. That is, move the classes in question into your own package
namespace. This means that they will never be in conflict with core
system classes. If you find that you cannot do this, then that is an
indication that the path you are on will ultimately lead to pain,
suffering, grief, and lamentation.

    Android framework do not allow addition of JAVA core libraries in your project as external jars.

    Heres how you can add libraries to your application:

    1. Open project properties by right clicking project and selecting properties
    2. Select JAVA build path on the left pane
    3. Select Libraries tab from right side
    4. Click add Library button
    5. Select JRE system library and add required package.
