class not found exception on android when I use extends OrmLiteBaseActivity

Question

when I use extends OrmLiteBaseActivity<Database> instead of extends Activity I get following errors in my logcat.

but if I use activity i don't get any error as such and app runs well here is code for my main class

  public class MainActivity extends OrmLiteBaseActivity<Database> {
Button fromdatabase, fromsdcard;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    fromdatabase = (Button) findViewById(R.id.loadfromdatabase);
    fromsdcard = (Button) findViewById(R.id.loadfromsd);

    fromdatabase.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent in = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListViewer.class);
            startActivity(in);
        }
    });
    fromsdcard.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent in = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListViewer.class);
            startActivity(in);
        }
    });
}
  }

Database class

public class Database extends OrmLiteSqliteOpenHelper {

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "imagetester";

private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

public Database(Context context) {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db, ConnectionSource connectionSource) {
    try {
        Log.i(Database.class.getName(), "onCreate");
        TableUtils.createTable(connectionSource, image.class);

    } catch (SQLException e) {
        Log.e(Database.class.getName(), "Can't create database", e);
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
    RuntimeExceptionDao<image, Integer> dao = getSimpleDataDao();
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
    image simple = new image(i);
    dao.create(simple);
    }

}
private RuntimeExceptionDao<image, Integer> getSimpleDataDao() {
    return getRuntimeExceptionDao(image.class);
}

@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase arg0, ConnectionSource arg1, int arg2,
        int arg3) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
 }

Can you explain me why you extend OrmLiteBaseActivity . Any Specific reason ? — Chirag, Aug 17 '12 at 11:47
yes i am using ormlite so i need to extend ormlitebaseactivity and Database is name of my class where i do database operations — Sourabh Saldi, Aug 17 '12 at 11:54
i think like @gtumca-MAC suggested it may be related to orm library. In the created apk unzip and check for libs folder and check if orm's jar is present — nandeesh, Aug 17 '12 at 12:09
