Question

I’m trying to add AndroidAnnotations to my maven/idea project. Here is what I have now:

Manifest

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="ua.avtopoisk"
      android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="0.5">

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="1"
          android:targetSdkVersion="8"/>


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application android:name=".AvtopoiskApplication" android:icon="@drawable/icon"      android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:name=".activites.SearchActivity_"
              android:screenOrientation="portrait"
              android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".activites.SearchResultActivity"
              android:screenOrientation="portrait"
              android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
              android:label="@string/app_name"/>
</application>

maven dependencies

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.googlecode.androidannotations</groupId>
            <artifactId>androidannotations</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.googlecode.androidannotations</groupId>
            <artifactId>androidannotations</artifactId>
            <classifier>api</classifier>
            <version>2.6</version>
        </dependency>

start activity

@EActivity(R.layout.search)
    public class SearchActivity extends Activity {
    }

I also edited my project settings as shown here https://github.com/ealden/android-annotations-idea-test/blob/master/project-settings-guide.png

It compiles fine, but when i try to run this application i recive this:

If you can give me any hint I would be thankful.

UPDATE

I’ve found that when i build my application by maven everything is ok, but when i buld it by IDEA i still have ClassNotFoundException.
I still have no idea what is wrong

UPDATE 2

I’ve tryed to build my project with eclipse and I’ve got same error.
I also tried to build android annotations sample project (HelloWorldEclipse), I also have same error

Answer 1

I’ve found the problem! Folder gen with generated sources was excluded by IDEA (Settings->Compiler->Excludes). Now works fine, but I’m still intrested is it true way.
