I am trying to use the EWS Java API v1.1.5 (http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/ewsjavaapi) in an Android application, and have run into a number of issues.
I downloaded the source, and followed the instructions provided to compile the EWS Java API in Eclipse. In those instructions you are told to download and
add the following pre-requiste jar file dependencies:
commons-codec-1.4.jar
commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
jcifs-1.3.15.jar
I did this, and followed the build instructions with produced the following jar files:
EWSAPI-1.1.0.jar
EWSAPIWithJars-1.1.0
Next, I built a brand new Android application, added the appropriate permissions to the manifest, and then added the following source to the primary activity's OnCreate:
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService();
ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials("emailaddress", "password");
service.setCredentials(credentials);
try
{
service.autodiscoverUrl("emailaddress", this);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
I first tried running this application with the EWSAPI-1.1.0.jar file as a dependency. When I did that, I obtained the following fatal error:
Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager at
microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ExchangeServiceBase.(Unknown

microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ExchangeServiceBase.(Unknown
Source) at
microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ExchangeService.(Unknown
Source) at
com.meshin.exchange.ExchangeDiscoveryActivity.onCreate(ExchangeDiscoveryActivity.java:40)
From what I've researched, it seems like this error is being generated because Android comes with the Apache HttpClient 4.0, which doesn't appear
to have the MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager class anymore.
If I instead remove the EWSAPI-1.1.0.jar, and instead use the EWSAPIWithJARS-1.1.0.jar file as a dependency, I get the following error:
VFY: unable to resolve static method 908: Ljavax/xml/stream/XMLOutputFactory;

VFY: dead code 0x0008-006a in L
microsoft/exchange/webservices/data/EwsUtilities;.formatLogMessage

VFY: unable to find class referenced in signature (Ljavax/xml/stream/XMLStreamWriter;)
And then eventually...
FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.VerifyError:

com.meshin.exchange.ExchangeDiscoveryActivity.onCreate(ExchangeDiscoveryActivity.java:41)
I am assuming because now I am including the HttpClient 3.1 jar and it is conflicting with the HttpClient 4.0 jar included with the Android libraries.
My question is if there is a way for me to use the EWS Java API in an Android project without having to re-write the parts of it which reference
HttpClient 3.1-specific things which are no longer in 4.0.
You can use microsoft's EWS api for android by doing the following steps,
download the source code available in the URL,
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/ewsjavaapi
EWSJavaAPI_1.1.5.zip
Make the changes to above api to work for JDK 1.4 in eclipse like remove override annotations e.t.c
Download source code of javax.* package available in below URL,
http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/jsr173/jsr173_1.0_src.jar.zip
Download source code of stax api available in below URL,
http://dist.codehaus.org/stax/distributions/stax-src-1.2.0.zip
Keep all the sources under the single java project in eclipse
Open the project explorer and select the package which are starts with "javax" and rename to your company name eg: com. Note: Eclipse will ask for all the naming contexts will change then click OK.
Export all the java sources to one single jar file.
Then You good to go to use the jar in Android application with out any problems.
I used the same way explained above and it worked in android application 100% perfectly.
This isn't a useful answer but I've also been struggling to look at the EWS API over the last couple of weeks, with no success.
The main issue I've found is it references a lot of the javax APIs which aren't on Android. There's a hack you can find that explains how to "re-class" these but I've not got it working yet; in addition, the DnsClient references some namespaces that jarsearches only return for rt.jar - the main runtime. And including this in an Android app would just be crazy!
Before finding the API I was trying to use KSOAP to communicate with EWS but again ran into problems - you need to be able to do NTLM and SSL and I couldn't find any way of combining all these with KSOAP in any simple way.
The EWS API looks the way to go (why re-invent the wheel) but getting it working on Android looks very tricky (if not impossible)

So I want to build an extensible android application where developers can add 'CustomDevice' classes and the main program will run them automatically without editing existing code.
I've read about Service Provider interface and thought that would be a nice way to go about it.
So I tested it and created an interface called 'ICustomDevice' which custom device classes are expected to implement.
I've created a class called 'DummyDevice' that implements ICustomDevice.
Both DummyDevice and ICustomDevice are in the same package "CustomDevicePackage".
So in my main program I run the following.
ServiceLoader<ICustomDevice> loader = ServiceLoader.load(ICustomDevice.class);
Iterator<ICustomDevice> devices = loader.iterator();
System.out.println("Does it have devices? " + devices.hasNext());
It always returns false, which means it's not finding the 'DummyDevice'
In my eclipse project I created a folder at 'src' called META-INF and under it, a subfolder called 'services'.
'Services' has a file named 'CustomDevicePackage.ICustomDevice' with a line of content 'CustomDevicePackage.DummyDevice'.
Am I doing it right? Every example I see about SPI is about loading JARS.
I'm not loading a JAR, I'm trying to run a class in the same Project. Does this method only works for loading JARs? I want my program to support loading local subclasses and external JARs alike.
I am adding this as an answer but leaving the prior "answer" to provide extended code detail for this workaround. I am working on reporting the prior answer results as a bug to Google.
Because the Android implementation of java.util.ServiceLoader is broken (always populating internal java.security.AccessControlContext field with AccessController.getContext() even if System.getSecurityManager() == null), the workaround is to create your own ServiceLoader class by copying the code found at OpenJDK for Java 8 into your class, add specific imports required from java.util without using import java.util.*;, and call that ServiceLoader in your code (you will have to fully reference the ServiceLoader you created to over ambiguity).
This isn't elegant but it is a functional workaround that works! Also, you will need to use a ClassLoader in your ServiceLoader.load() call. That ClassLoader will either have to be YourClass.class.getClassLoader() or a child ClassLoader of the class' ClassLoader.
Though it's an old post, This may be still be of some help to others:
When I was running or debugging a project that contained a ServiceLoader Class, I had to put the META-INF/services folder into the src/ folder in Eclipse.
If I tried to export the project as Runnable jar and tried to use the class with the service loader, it never worked.
When I checked the jar, unzipping it, I found the folder under src/META-INF/services though.
Only when I also added the META-INF folder directly in the root directory of the jar, it started to work.
I haven't found a fix though inside Eclipse, that makes sure it gets exported right...maybe an ANT script can solve this issue, but so far no attempts made...
This is an answer:
At some point, Android removed the AccessControlContext field in ServiceLoader and ServiceLoader now works. As my comments indicate, this was reproduceable using the "out-of-the-box" OREO (API 26) Intel Atom x86 emulator with Android Studio (also fresh download). 24 hours later, ServiceLoader no longer contained the acc field (as shown in the Android Studio debugger with the same emulator). The Android SDKs dating back to API 24 do not show the acc field.
Per the Android developer currently maintaining the ServiceLoader code:
He is not aware of ServiceLoader ever having the acc field in Android (it did as we were able to reproduce) and thought the debugger/emulator might have been using JDK code (but I showed the OpenJDK code works correctly). Somewhere along the way, the errant code was updated and I am no longer able to reproduce.
Be sure your OS is up-to-date and you should no longer see this phenomena.
I'm having a problem with Arcgis SDK for Android which I've never had before.
It seems an issue with its native interface when I call this method:
ArcGISRuntime.setClientId
I have this method inside onCreate() (Application class), so it crashes at the beginning
This is the stack trace:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: nativeIsClientIdValid
at com.esri.core.runtime.LicenseImpl.nativeIsClientIdValid(Native Method)
at com.esri.core.runtime.LicenseImpl.b(Unknown Source)
at com.esri.android.runtime.ArcGISRuntime$License.b(Unknown Source)
at com.esri.android.runtime.ArcGISRuntime$License.a(Unknown Source)
at com.esri.android.runtime.ArcGISRuntime.setClientId(Unknown Source)
at com.pkg.manager.AppManager.onCreate(AppManager.java:262)
And this is what I found on Arcgis documentation about this method:
public static LicenseResult setClientId (String clientId)
License an application for basic functionality. This will remove the watermark present in developer mode and must be called in a deployed application. Whenever standard licensed functionality is accessed, a RuntimeException will be thrown.
This method must be called before setting a license with either setLicense(LicenseInfo) or setLicense(String). Note that if any standard licensed functionality is accessed before calling this method, an exception will be thrown when this method is called and the application will remain in developer mode.
Parameters
clientId. client ID to set
Returns
LicenseResult.Invalid or LicenseResult.Valid
(https://developers.arcgis.com/android/api-reference/reference/com/esri/android/runtime/ArcGISRuntime.html)
Any ideas, thank you!
UnsatisfiedLinkError normally means the application can't load a native library it needs, even though the Java wrapper for that library is present. If the Java wrapper were also missing, your code wouldn't compile.
Did you switch from an earlier version of ArcGIS to ArcGIS 10.2.3 in this project? If so, it is possible that the project still has the native libraries from the old version of ArcGIS, which didn't have a setClientId method, even though the project has the Java libraries from the new version of ArcGIS, which do have setClientId.
Assuming you're in Eclipse, right-click the project and choose ArcGIS Tools > Fix Project Properties. That should replace the old native libraries with the 10.2.3 native libraries.

I use easymock-3.2.jar in my android test project.
I find it in its Home:
2013-07-11: EasyMock 3.2 is available. Add #Mock annotations and Android support.
However , I got exception when I use it.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.easymock.EasyMock
I googled a lot , and add
dexmaker-1.0.jar
objenesis-1.2.jar
cglib-nodep-2.2.2.jar or cglib-2.2.jar
But the exception still be there.Who can help me?
Thanks a lot.
Put the library
easymock-3.2.jar
dexmaker-1.0.jar
dexmaker-mockito-1.0.jar
in tests/libs. And it will work.
Be careful , it's in tests/libs , not in tests/lib.
It will throw
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.easymock.EasyMock
if you position them in tests/lib.
The first step is to get EasyMock. You can get the latest version from Easymock’s download page. Choose the latest version and you will get a zip file. You only need easymock-3.2.jar (3.2 will change depending on the version you choose). You will also need dexmaker for Easymock to work on Android. You can get the jar from Dexmaker’s website. Once you have both jar files put them in /tests/libs. Now you have EasyMock available in your tests.

I'm currently experimenting with Xamarin for the first time, as well as NUnitLite for the first time. I've set up a small Android project and a test project. In the Android project I make use of SqlLite, and in my test project I want to write some integration tests for my database insert/update/select methods.
However, when I run tests which includes a call to my class "GroupRepository" (which includes a type from the Mono.Data.Sqllite.dll in its constructor) I get the following exception. Note that I've also added the mentioned dll to my test-project.
TestInsertWithLegalValues (IntegrationTests.Repository.RepositoryTests.TestInsertWithLegalValues)
System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly 'Mono.Data.Sqlite, version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)
----> System.Security.SecurityException : Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)
at Repository.GroupRepository..ctor()
at IntegrationTests.Repository.RepositoryTests.SetUp()
--SecurityException
The Android project targets API 8 using Xamarin 2.0. The test project is a Windows Console Application .NET 4.5.
Why is this failing the way it is?
Thanks for any input!
I'm having an issue with IntelliJ's dependency handling in regards to external modules. Here's some context:
I'm writing an Android app which implements Google Maps. For my current feature set, I require two external libraries-- Google's Play Services Library and mapex (A third party google map extension library located here https://code.google.com/p/mapex/). I actually built most of this project in Android Studio before I was recommended to move to IntelliJ due to the easier dependency handling. But now I'm here and still having problems.
My Error
When trying to build an object from a class located in the mapex package (com.androidnatic.maps), I get this error when starting the activity the view is contained in (object has not been created yet):
07-03 11:40:35.837: ERROR/dalvikvm(3585): Could not find class 'com.androidnatic.maps.SimpleMapView', referenced from method com.example.myproject.MapActivity.showHeatMap
And then, upon creation, my app force closes and leaves this behind in logcat:
7-03 11:40:45.467: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3585): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.androidnatic.maps.SimpleMapView
at com.example.myproject.MapActivity.showHeatMap(MapActivity.java:492)
Yet I'm completely stumped because my IDE gives me no sign that anything is wrong! Classes are auto-filled in when trying to access them from MyProject.
ide-fill-in http://www.tonyandrys.com/img/fillin.jpg
No build errors about missing classes, missing modules, class definitions, or anything related.
I get the same results if I try to access the class via its full package name as well.
// No dice.
final SimpleMapView mapView = new SimpleMapView(this, "apikey");
final com.androidnatic.maps.SimpleMapView mapView = new com.androidnatic.maps.SimpleMapView(this, "apikey");
It seems that there's only an issue when the application is running on my phone, as far as my IDE is concerned.
Here's the structure of MyProject:
main-project-structure http://www.tonyandrys.com/img/mainstructure.jpg
Here's my main project's dependency settings (where I assume I screwed up somewhere):
project-structure http://www.tonyandrys.com/img/projectstructure.jpg
And here is the structure of the mapex library module:
mapex-lib http://www.tonyandrys.com/img/mapexstructure.jpg
The class files that I'm trying to access live in MapExLib/gen and MapExLib/src, which are currently marked as source directories (blue).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed from here?
Try to do this :
Android, IntelliJ Idea, changing module type
I had the same error "Could not find class XXX from referenced method XXX" with Intellij, involving an Android Test Module and a test which could not find the Activity class anywhere.
I set inside the Project Structure the main Module's Facet Android to Library Module (checkbox) and it worked...
Let us know
