Question

In an app I try to generate a keystore. Sadly ive to use for compatibility reasons with already existing desktop clients the x509 certificate.

During keystore generation the app crashes with the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun.security.x509.CertAndKeyGen
E/AndroidRuntime(  338):    at ppa.utils.ssl.MiscSSLTools.createKeystore(MiscSSLTools.java:52)
E/AndroidRuntime(  338):    at it.sec.RegisterActiviy.continueReg(RegisterActiviy.java:129)
E/AndroidRuntime(  338):    at it.sec.RegisterActiviy.btnFinishRegClicked(RegisterActiviy.java:108)
E/AndroidRuntime(  338):    ... 28 more

I think in the Android implementation of Java this class is missing and so it cannot be found.
Does anybody got an idea how i could it get working?

Thanks.

The mentioned class CertAndKeyGen seems to contain only some utility functions that can be easily implemented yourself in your application.

Just take a look onto the source code:
