java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.api.services.drive.Drive

Question

While trying to use any Drive class function:

Drive service = new Drive.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(),new GsonFactory(), credential).build();

I have included the right jar in the libs folders:

google-api-services-drive-v2-rev123-1.18.0-rc.jar

and the imports are fine:

import com.google.api.services.drive.Drive; import com.google.api.services.drive.DriveScopes;

But it keeps on showing the error:

I believe you have not included google-api-client-1.18.0-rc.jar library, that is the reason you are getting the exception.

Once you download and unzip the Drive API library, please read the drive/readme.html. It has listed the dependent jars for google-api-services-drive-v2-rev123-1.18.0-rc.jar that need to be included. The dependent jars can be located in drive/libs folder.

Following are the complete set of jars that need to be included for Android application:

• google-api-services-drive-v2-rev123-1.18.0-rc.jar
• google-api-client-1.18.0-rc.jar
• google-oauth-client-1.18.0-rc.jar
• google-http-client-1.18.0-rc.jar
• jsr305-1.3.9.jar
• google-http-client-gson-1.18.0-rc.jar
• google-api-client-android-1.18.0-rc.jar
• google-http-client-android-1.18.0-rc.jar
