How to fix java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.jsoup.Jsoup error?

Question

How to fix "NoClassDefFoundError"? I have been trying to setup Jsoup in my android app. I have imported the Jsoup in to libs folder. When I compile the code it compiles however, application breaks.

Here is the mainfest.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.news.scrapweb3"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk   android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.news.scrapweb3.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>

Here is the code I try to show a text extracted from Jsoup to textview.

/**
     * A dummy fragment representing a section of the app, but that simply
     * displays dummy text.
     */
    public static class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment {
        /**
         * The fragment argument representing the section number for this
         * fragment.
         */
        public static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
        private Document doc;

        public DummySectionFragment() {
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main_dummy,
                    container, false);

            try{

            doc= Jsoup.connect("http://www.google.com/").get();
            String title= doc.title();
            TextView dummyTextView = (TextView) rootView
                    .findViewById(R.id.section_label);
            dummyTextView.setText(title);
            }catch(IOException e){


            }

            return rootView;
        }
    }

Here is the log cat.

I met this issue when I migrated project from eclispe to android studio. This solution works for me:

public class YouApplication extends Application {

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
 }
}

Since December 3rd, 2014, build tools 1.0.0-rc1 was released. Now, all you need to do is override this in your Application class:

public class YouApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
     }
    }

and modify your build.gradle like so:

 android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

         defaultConfig {
             minSdkVersion 14 //lower than 14 doesn't support multidex
             targetSdkVersion 22

             // Enabling multidex support.
             multiDexEnabled true
         }
    }
    dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'}

Check my answer here : NoClassDefFound solution

You need to make few changes in your project through Eclipse project/properties.

Thanks.

Did you tried my solution? I guess you are using external jar file. – Siddharth_Vyas Mar 13 '14 at 09:57
yes, dependency lib was already selected but I clean the project and tried but no luck – wordpressm Mar 13 '14 at 10:02

If you are using a library jar, instead of just referencing it from some other location, try dropping it in the libs folder. Worked for me a couple of times before.
