Couldn`t find class org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 3077

Hello,
I want to create a Android test project to test mobile websites using my own browser
app in eclipse.
So I downloaded the selenium-java-2.15.0.zip,installed the android-server-2.13.0.apk,and
set according to your Wiki http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AndroidDriver(using
remote WebDriver server method),everything is ok including the compilation.But when
I run your test code, it said "Could not find class org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver"
and threw out the "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver"
exception.(But I can find AndroidDriver class in selenium-java-2.15.0.jar manually)
I used Android4.0 ,JDK 1.6.0.13, and I created a User Library to add jars(all the jars
in the selenium-java-2.15.0.zip ). If I don't create the User Library, it will cause
eclipse heap error. 
Anything wrong? Help

Even i faced this same issue. I am using SDK which is pre installed. I just gone through
the steps of setting up the android webdriver project followed as in WIKI: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AndroidDriver.
Im using Android 4.0, selenium-server-standalone-2.21.0.jar, android_webdriver_library.jar.

Can someone please suggest on this?

I am also facing the same issue. 

When I add jars externally, I get the following error:
 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.openqa.selenium.android.*
[Avoid adding jars externally]

Whenever "selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0.jar" is placed under "libs" folder, I get
the following error:

Dx warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class
(bsh.util.AWTConsole$1) that doesn't come with an
associated EnclosingMethod attribute. This class was probably produced by a
compiler that did not target the modern .class file format. The recommended
solution is to recompile the class from source, using an up-to-date compiler
and without specifying any "-target" type options. The consequence of ignoring
this warning is that reflective operations on this class will incorrectly
indicate that it is *not* an inner class.

How to overcome this?  Any help! please let us know.....

I am getting the same error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver"
though the class is present inside the selenium jar.

This issue is open from more than 1 year, is there any work around for this?

Reported by sudheer.test on 2013-11-21 12:58:34

[lukeis]

Running the code in a java project is the workaround or solution for now.

Selenium project no longer supports the AndroidDriver.

Please use Selendroid instead:
http://selendroid.io/webview.html

And log any issues against that project:
