android-datepicker: UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: classes.jar not found

Question

I'm trying to include Simon's DatePicker lib project (https://github.com/SimonVT/android-datepicker) in my own project. The README file says it depends on both his NumberPicker and CalendarView lib projects. So I placed all three projects in my project dir, ran android update lib-project on them (I'm using ant), added the NumberPicker and CalendarView libs as dependencies of the DatePicker lib and the DatePicker lib as a dependency of my own project. Up until now all is well. It also compiles, so the dependencies seem to work. But when the dexing starts, I get the following error:

[dex] Converting compiled files and external libraries into /home/rogerrapid/MyProject/bin/classes.dex...
   [dx] 
   [dx] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

Does anyone know how to solve this? I guess I must be overlooking something. I've never tried adding an android library with other lib dependencies before.

Answer 1

check in the project.properties from android-datepicker folder, if the project isn't mark as a library, use android.library=true to mark the project as library...
