MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private  XWalkView mXWalkView;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    mXWalkView = (XWalkView) findViewById(R.id.AM);
    mXWalkView.load("http://crosswalk-project.org/", null);
  }

}

activity_main.xml:

<org.xwalk.core.XWalkView android:id="@+id/AM"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</org.xwalk.core.XWalkView>

I digged google for several hours but couldn't find a solution.

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same problem in Android Studio. I'm using the ARM version of the native library. What is `SharedXWalkView` about anyway? I don't see any documentation for it on the internet at all, not even crosswalk-project.org. Poorly documented open source /facepalm — Someone Somewhere, Apr 02 '15 at 18:15
@SomeoneSomewhere This is the reason why I remind my colleagues not to use this POS framework. It is really hard to use it without one. I am so sorry about the POS but it really is. There you go, I said it. — Neon Warge, Jan 18 '16 at 13:53

I had the same problem and found the solution:

Remember to ask for the needed permissions in your Android Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

Try importing crosswalk-webview-14.43.343.11-arm(or any updated library that you are using) as library project in eclipse or android studio. That will resolve the issue. Add it as a library in your Project. In eclipse : Right Click on project->Properties->Add Library.

In Android Studio: Open module setting of your project->Press + button to import project->Add your crosswalk-webview-14.43.343.11-arm. After that in your project Add module dependency.

Simply referring jar wont work in some cases.

For me what did the trick was Downloading Android Arm+x86 version the other two versions do not seem to work.

Like Developer said, the jar file isn't enough, it's not a uber jar including everything

As modules:

Copy the sources files in your project folder
Inlude the module : File->New->New Module
Add the new module to your app module (right lick on app -> dependdencies -> + -> Module dependency

I had similar problem when embedding crosswalk to our gradle based project. It was only happening in Release builds. After trying to extends from XWalkActivity or using XWalkInitializer it was still failing, but I noticed that it fails in during reflection based method, when app is trying to init embeded library. Then I understood that it's caused by method obfuscation in proguard in our release build. After added exceptions in proguard configuration according to Crosswalk FAQ, and then also adding another rule to proguard to keep JavasriptInterface methods used in our project to interact between webview and native client, the problem was fixed. So I suggest to check your proguard rules if any.
