NoClassDefFoundError when using aFileChooser with my app.

[fishnet37222]

Hello,

I get the exception linked below when I select the built-in aFileChooser to select a file for my app to process. The sample provided with aFileChooser works fine, however.

Instead of adding the aFileChooser project as a dependency, I copied the JAR file to my project's libs folder and added it to the build path. I did this because I host my project on Google Code and I didn't want anyone cloning my repository to have to clone other repositories as well.

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.OPENABLE" />

            <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

I already do have that in my AndroidManifest.xml. Before I added that, it wasn't even showing up in the chooser.

            <activity
                    android:name="com.ipaulpro.afilechooser.FileChooserActivity"
                    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
                    android:label="@string/choose_file" >
                    <intent-filter>
                            <action android:name="android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT" />

                            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                            <category android:name="android.intent.category.OPENABLE" />

                            <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
                    </intent-filter>
            </activity>

Just as a test I changed my project to reference the aFileChooser project instead of just the JAR and it worked without the exception. Is it possible to get a JAR for this that I can just include in my project's libs folder?

Well, I got around this issue by adding the aFileChooser project to my repository. Now anyone who clones my repository won't have to worry about also cloning another repository.

From the docs:

You cannot export the library project to a self-contained JAR file, as you would do for a true library. Instead, you must compile the library indirectly, by referencing the library in the dependent application and building that application.

Be sure to watch this repo for changes! The typical approach would be to add a git submodule, or simply specify as a dependency, but it is obviously up to you. :-)
