Hi,

have you followed instructions https://github.com/PDF417/pdf417-phonegap#android ? This seems like a problem with dependency on pdf417 mobi library project.

to verify this, can you post your project/platforms/android/project.properties contents?

Here are steps I followed

pull the plugin and sample application from Github

Step 1 : git clone git@github.com:PDF417/pdf417-phonegap.git

create a empty application

Step 2 : cordova create testcordova Step 3 : cd testcordova Step 4: cordova plugin add ../pdf417-phonegap/Pdf417 Step 5: cordova platform add android Step 6: android update project --target 12 --path platforms/android/ --library ../../../pdf417-phonegap/Pdf417/src/android/Pdf417MobiSdk Step 7: android update project --name testphone --target 12 --path platforms/android/ Step 8: android update lib-project --target 12 --path ../pdf417-phonegap/Pdf417/src/android/Pdf417MobiSdk/ Step 9 : cordova build android Then the error followed

Also here are the contents of the project.properties files :

#

This file must be checked in Version Control Systems.

#

To customize properties used by the Ant build system edit # "ant.properties", and override values to adapt the script to your # project structure.

#

To enable ProGuard to shrink and obfuscate your code, uncomment this (available properties: sdk.dir, user.home):

proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib

Project target.

target=android-17 android.library.reference.2=../../../pdf417-phonegap/Pdf417/src/android/Pdf417MobiSdk

Hi, we have updated MyViefinder class that was causing problems. Please, try reinstalling new plugin version, it should fix your problem.
