Java.lang.ClassNotFoundException after Android studio update
Solution 1
Try this:
Clear app cache
Clear app data
Uninstall
app
Run/Debug
again
Hope it works!
Solution 2
We are experiencing a similar error after updating to version 2.1 of Android Studio. A class added long ago is now not being found on application start. It's only happening with Android 5.1 and 5.1.1. Really weird crash!
The solution to this was enabling "Instant Run" solves the issue on Lollipop.
Solution 3
I experienced this error and had looked at a number of SO threads, and various resources and also checked in to the android dev irc. The answers seem to follow a trend:
Gradle/Android Studio General:
Clean build, reset Android Studio caches, uninstall/reinstall android studio, leave Android Studio and come back to it in 2 hours, restart your computer.
Referencing the class
Is it correctly listed through the manifest? What about gradle configuration?
Loading Classes via IDE (though that seems mostly eclipse related)
Libraries do not get added to APK anymore after upgrade to ADT 22
Android Activity ClassNotFoundException - tried everything

My solution: naming conflict?
I found through pure desperation that by changing my class name Manifest
to MyCoolManifest
or something like that, I no longer had the issue. Since your class name is Login
, perhaps renaming the class will solve your problem.
Solution 4
Try cleaning gradle cache & build by running each line in the terminal:
gradlew --stop
gradlew cleanBuildCache
gradlew clean
Solution 5
You have to provide:
compileSdkVersion '22' buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
as your targetSdkVersion 22

I updated to Android Studio 2.1 from the stable channel. As soon as I did that I am getting ClassNotFoundException to my login class, which is declared in the manifest for long time. Prior to the update my app was compiling fine.

This is my gradle.build
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' android { compileSdkVersion 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:23' buildToolsVersion "22.0.1" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.myapp" minSdkVersion 14 targetSdkVersion 22 } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } } dependencies { // compile files('libs/smack-core-4.0.7.jar') compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0' compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.4+' }
So far I have tried 1)Clean and rebuild project 2)Delete the build folder and rebuild project/restart Android Studio 3)Switch to canary channel as well as dev channel and update 4)Check and uncheck the offline mode in Settings Obviously this is a bug, but is there a solution to this? How can I reverse the recent updates? Any help is much appreciated.

Bryan over 6 yearsI had the same issue on Android Studio 3.0 Beta 6. I changed the class name of the activity, ran it and it worked (I just changed the class name back afterwards). Strange issue, I wonder what could've caused it.

lbarbosa over 6 yearsIn my case it was also "Instant Run" related, but I had to disable it to get it running again. After the first successful run, I enabled "Instant Run" again and it worked.

Lê Thái Phúc Quang over 6 years@Ferran Pons: I have the same problem with Lollipop devices, turning Instant Run on worked for me, but I don't want to use Instant Run, anyway to disable it without problem?
-
Ferran Pons over 6 years@LêTháiPhúcQuang AFAIK the only option is to use a different device with a higher API. Sorry for replying so late.

Lê Thái Phúc Quang over 6 years@FerranPons hi there, it has been while since my last comment, i've just take a look and the problem has gone without Instant Run enabled. But I have no idea when did I turn off Instant Run.
