Missing runtime dependencies with owner, gradle for android

Question

I have a multi-module setup in Android Studio that consists of one pure java module that is used to communicate with an API, and one Android project that makes use of that API-module. To configure API variables such as usernames and password I use Owner (http://owner.aeonbits.org/). The whole thing builds without problems.

I use a Main-function in the API module to test that things work well, which they do. There. My problem is that when I try to run the Android project with the compile dependency on the APi-module it crashes with the folling message:

  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.beans.PropertyEditorManager

I have no idea why this isn't working but a wild stab is that not all of the dependencies from Owner get included in the Android project for some reason.

EDIT: Since this fails during runtime, I'm wondering if I have to do anything extra to add this as a runtime dependency aswell.

Answer 1

There's no java.beans.PropertyEditorManager on Android. You can see what's supported from that package in the Android API Javadocs here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/beans/package-summary.html

Answer 2

Latest versions (1.0.5.1 and above) should work fine.
