How to solve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError?

Question

I\'ve tried both the example in Oracle\'s Java Tutorials. They both compile fine, but at run-time, both come up with this error:

Exception in thread \"main\"         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue with my Android development using Android studio. Solutions provided are general and did not help me ( at least for me). After hours of research I found following solution and may help to android developers who are doing development using android studio. modify the setting as below Preferences ->Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run -> un-check the first option.

With this change I am up and running. Hope this will help my dev friends.
