twitter4j => AndroidRuntime(446): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: twitter4j.http.AccessToken

Question

I am trying to use twitter4j for my app to connect and post to twitter. I am following this tutorial. I have downloaded the example project from here and try to run it on android 2.3.3. I am sure that i have modified Constants.java file correctly according to my twitter developer website. In TwitterUtils.java i have enter OAUTH_TOKEN and OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET also. but after running it, i got following error messages :

> E/dalvikvm(374): Could not find class 'twitter4j.http.AccessToken', referenced from method com.ecs.android.sample.twitter.TwitterUtils.isAuthenticated

am not sure if i am wrong, in Constant.java, i haven't change anything in

public static final String REQUEST_URL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token";

public static final String ACCESS_URL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token";

public static final String AUTHORIZE_URL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize";

public static final String OAUTH_CALLBACK_SCHEME = "x-oauthflow-twitter";

public static final String OAUTH_CALLBACK_HOST = "callback";

public static final String OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL = OAUTH_CALLBACK_SCHEME + "://" + OAUTH_CALLBACK_HOST;

I have tried changing "callback" with "http://www.MyWebsite.com" Please advice how can I correct these problems.

Solution 1

You need to change your Folder name from lib to libs as you have updated ADT 17.

Solution 2

In case someone is using ADT 18, I did not have a lib folder at all, I was using Project, Properties, Java Build Path, Libraries tab exclusively. To resolve this issue, I created a libs folder within my project, copied my external jars to this folder, and then removed the references in the Libraries tab. The project rebuilt and worked!
