Android - Google Maps API v2 - NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I try to run Google Maps with Intellij IDEA 12.

I already tried advices:

• Embedding google maps android v2 in android
• Google Maps Android API v2 Authorization failure
• Unable instantiate android.gms.maps.MapFragment
• Google Maps Android API gives a NoClassDefFoundError

and so on. But unfortunately that doesn't work for me.

My configuration:

1) real device htc wildefire s, android 2.3.5

2)

3) AndroidManifest.xml:

      <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              package="ru.ergeslab.TransportScheduleYaroslavl"
              android:installLocation="auto"
              android:versionCode="1"
              android:versionName="1.0">
        <uses-feature
                android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
                android:required="true"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
        <permission
                android:name="ru.ergeslab.TransportScheduleYaroslavl.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
                android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="ru.ergeslab.TransportScheduleYaroslavl.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
        <uses-sdk
                android:minSdkVersion="10"
                android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
        <application android:label="@string/app_name">
            <meta-data
                    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
                    android:value="MY_KEY"/>
            <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
            <activity android:name="MainActivity"
                      android:label="@string/app_name">
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                </intent-filter>
            </activity>
        </application>
    </manifest>

4) MainActivity:

<pre>
package ru.ergeslab.TransportScheduleYaroslavl;


import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    }


}

5) main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I finally ran my application!

I didn't edit manifest, layout and activity, just updated project settings:

I hope this will help someone.

Answer 2

1. Remove this permission from the manifest file:

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

it's part of Google Maps API V1 and not needed in Google Maps API V2.

2. Move the meta-data part to be right before the closing application tag:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="MY_KEY"/>
</application>

3. Regenerate a new key and register it via the Google API Console and make all the process again.

Answer 3

Follow these directions first

For the sake of completeness of documentation, download and get your keys and project setup.

Installing the Google Maps Android v2 API

The IntelliJ Specific Part

The Modules

1. Import the google-play-services_lib as a module into the project.

   ${ANDROID_SDK_ROOT}/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib

2. Now make sure it is set as a Library module

   

3. Go into your project settings and make sure you add the module as a dependency. Take note of the folder icon.

   

4. Add the google-play-services.jar as a library to your module and one of the Android support modules if you plan to support older devices. Most people use android-support-v4.jar, but in my example I used android-support-v13.jar which includes everything in v4. This is where you get support for Fragment on older phones.

Answer 4

Try to replace in yout main.xml

android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

at

class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

Answer 5

You don't usually put google-play-services_lib inside libs folder.

Try importing it as a library project. http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2010/09/android-library-projects-support/

Answer 6

I had the exact same issue and i just needed to set the SDK for the library project of the MapsApiV2 to Android 2.3.3 (API lvl 10) (maybe 2.2 will work as well.
