How to resolve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in android?

Question

I included import.io jar into my android project, tried to run example and got the following:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.importio.api.clientlite.json.JacksonJsonImplementation$1
            at com.importio.api.clientlite.json.JacksonJsonImplementation.<init>(JacksonJsonImplementation.java:17)

I did google and decided that something wrong with jackson library, I had added it, but nothing changed. There is a lot of different solutions about this error here, but I cant resolve it in my case. Could you give me some advice, please?

I use Android Studio with Android SDK Tools v22.3 Also I have tried to run this project in eclipse (with jar obviously) and got the same error.

UPD

My build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 18
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    } }

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
    compile files('lib/com.importio.api.clientlite-1.0.2.jar')
    compile files('lib/jackson-core-asl-1.9.12.jar') }

I added it like a file dependencies, think it is the right option. Also there is no compile error while I don't use this methods. And of course this jars are in the lib folder.

Answer 1

Required jar jackson-core-asl-1.9.12.jar is missing So you have to download the jar and then set your classpath.
