Error initializing Cordova: Class not found

I followed the tutorial of Phonegap from the official Phonegap.com site (getting started with Android).

I have created project with following all the steps.

  1. created activity and extended from "DroidGap" and added loadURL method from onCreate().
  2. Added cordova-2.0.0.js and cordova-2.0.0.jar on the respective folder.
  3. Added the jar file to the build path
  4. Loaded the js file from the html tag
  5. Added permissions from AndroidMainfeast.xml
  6. copied the xml folder containing "configs.xml"

Now I don't understand where's the problem. It is showing the below error as shown in the screenshot enter image description here

Here is my HTML file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Notification Example</title>

    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.0.0.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

    // Wait for Cordova to load
    //
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

    // Cordova is ready
    //
    function onDeviceReady() {
        // Empty
    }

    // Show a custom alert
    //
    function showAlert() {
        navigator.notification.alert(
            'You are the winner!',  // message
            'Game Over',            // title
            'Done'                  // buttonName
        );
    }

    // Beep three times
    //
    function playBeep() {
        navigator.notification.beep(3);
    }

    // Vibrate for 2 seconds
    //
    function vibrate() {
        navigator.notification.vibrate(2000);
    }

    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p><a href="#" onclick="showAlert()">Show Alert</a></p>
    <p><a href="#" onclick="playBeep()">Play Beep</a></p>
    <p><a href="#" onclick="vibrate()">Vibrate</a></p>
  </body>
</html>

Any advice? Thanks!

It is config.xml not configs.xml.

Based on the logs I'm seeing you are missing this file in your apps res/xml directory. It is included as part of the distribution at lib/android/res/xml/config.xml so copy that file into your res/xml directory and you should be all set.

Just as aharris88 in his answer to this question, I had the [CORDOVA] Error initilizing Cordova: Class not found error message when using Cordova 3.1.0 on my Android dev phone after migrating from Phonegap 3.0.

All fiddling with the config.xml file in the /platforms/android/res/xml directory did not help. Based on the Stackoverflow answer mentioned above, I tried to "start over" by reinstalling Android platform support:

cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android

After this step it worked again, and I was able to cordova build android && cordova run android without any further problems.

I have had this error because of a plugin that I deleted. I Added

<plugin name="Device" value="org.apache.cordova.Device"/>

to the config.xml file again and it fixed it.

My you not have following plugin:

<plugin name="Device" value="org.apache.cordova.Device"/>

You have to put that in between <plugins></plugins>. like

<plugins>
    <plugin name="Device" value="org.apache.cordova.Device"/>
</plugins>
