java.lang.ClassNotFoundException for my app

Question

I recently just received a bug report from device "Desire HD (ace)" which I cannot recreate for the life of me. I looked over Here1 and Here2 but it didn't seem like it would help me with my problem or I am just not understanding this enough to know if this is the fix to my problem.

My LogCat :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{joseph.lubonty.librarysmite11/joseph.lubonty.librarysmite11.Splash}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: joseph.lubonty.librarysmite11.Splash in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/mnt/asec/joseph.lubonty.librarysmite11-2/pkg.apk]

Here are images of my "Properties" > "Java Build Path" if this may help solve this problem :

("Projects" tab is empty)

Please let me know if there is any other sort of information you need.

Edit :

package joseph.lubonty.librarysmite11;

public class Splash extends FragmentActivity {

}

Post the declaration (including package statement) for the class? This usually indicates that you have a mismatch between your config file and the fully-qualified class name. — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-, Sep 25 '13 at 00:03
@chrylis I am a bit of a noob here, really sorry. Do you want me to post basically the top of my Splash class? — JoeyL, Sep 25 '13 at 00:07
The whole Splash class is probably easiest. The most important things I'm looking for are the `package` line and the `public class` line. — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-, Sep 25 '13 at 00:09

Just installed it on my Desire HD fine. Installed itself to SD card by default. So probably what @Jon said.

It's possible their device is fubar'd, but I also just noticed your project is setup for JDK builds instead of ADT. You'll want to make sure everything is set up using Properties -> Android instead of Properties -> Java Build, as explained here.

Managing Projects from Eclipse with ADT | Android Developers

It appears others are also having similar issues after upgrading to ADT version 22, so there may be a bug in the SDK. I just checked to see what version I have and found an update to Ver. 22.2.1 available.

Libraries do not get added to APK after update to ADK 22

I guess this is where I am really confused. So I guess I did it "The Wrong Way" as described in your link "here". So would I have to undo this? (If I do which Screenshot or tab should I do my removal in?). So for me to do this the right way I should be going to Properties -> Android and in "Project Build Target" and Select my Target (which is 17) and in "Library" select the check box "isLibrary"? Also I cannot add anything when I click the "Add" feature in the Library section, it is all just blank. – JoeyL Sep 25 '13 at 03:46

To be completely honest, I'm not really sure why that setup wouldn't work for you. I just checked my projects and even the the android samples are setup like that. Have you tried updating the ADK again and doing a clean build? – Jon Sep 26 '13 at 19:38
I have not had an error since that user has reported it (or multiple users with the same device). I did though have in my Properties > Android that the Project Build Target didn't match the one in my Manifest file so I went ahead and fixed that. So I think it was their device being foobar or my small mistake there. I will be putting out another update on it in 2 days that I hope to never see that error again or at least once in a blue moon. Thanks again Jon for the follow up, I really appreciate it. – JoeyL Sep 26 '13 at 21:48
