NoClassDefFoundError on Android

Question

I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

I want to create a path variable in my Android project, but everytime I get a NoClassDefFoundError.

test = test + ".turns"; //This is a simple String
List<String> turnlist = new ArrayList<String>();
Path testfile = (Path) Paths.get(test);

Logcat:

Answer 1

You're trying to use java.nio.file.Paths, which doesn't exist in Android as far as I can see. (Only some parts of the Java 7 API are supported.)

It's not clear what path you're looking for, or what you're going to do with the result, but consider using File.

Edit, now that we know a bit more: You should not put your desktop JRE jar files in the classpath for an Android project. That's just asking for trouble. Without doing that, you'd have correctly got a compile-time error.

Answer 2

java.nio.file.Paths is part of the J7 API. Whereas Android (I believe) is built on J6. So, as such you'll be unable to use such classes. The File class is more than capable usually :)
