Question

I have a very simple application that works but when i add roboguice it throws

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application
com.MyFirstApp.MyFirstApplication: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.MyFirstApp.MyFirstApplication

The application class:

public class MyFirstApplication extends RoboApplication {

    @Override
    protected void addApplicationModules(List<Module> modules) {
        //modules.add(new DefaultModule());
    }
}

The MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends RoboActivity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

the manifest:

<manifest 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.MyFirstApp"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk 
        android:minSdkVersion="14" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name="MyFirstApplication">
        <activity
            android:name="com.MyFirstApp.Activities.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action 
                    android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category 
                    android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

I have put guice-2.0-no_aop.jar and roboguice-1.1.3.jar in the assets folder and added them to the buildpath.

when i remove the robo part it works fine. can anyone tell me what i did wrong.

Answer 1

Well i found out what the problem was. i was using SDK v17+ and in that version external library’s need te be placed in a “libs” folder and only in the libs folder. so all the tutorial’s i found where they just put it in the assets folder where wrong.
