WearableListView ClassNotFoundException Support v4 ArrayMap

Question

Ok this is a fun one: I'm using Android Studio 1.1.0, I have an Android app and a correlating Android Wear app i'm trying to test on a smart watch device. I've placed the class files I used in my Android app into an Android library module then added it as a dependency into my Android Wear app. The app builds and deploys onto the smart watch but when it runs I get the below exception and stack trace. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Here's a visual of the gradle configs and modules: library config wear config

What do you mean by 'placed the class files used in my Android app' - is there a reason you aren't just adding the wearable support library as a dependency in your `build.gradle` file? — ianhanniballake, Apr 19 '15 at 01:23
I couldn't use the namespace and subsequent classes from my main app in my wearable app since it was a separate module and that module wasn't a library. So I copied them into a library to be able to use them in the wear app. Are you saying the wear app shouldn't be setup as a separate module in Android Studio? Thanks! — Aaron Mathew Crayford, Apr 19 '15 at 01:44
I added a couple screenshots to add clarity in case i'm not explaining it well. — Aaron Mathew Crayford, Apr 19 '15 at 02:09

I saw this java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.support.v4.util.ArrayMap in your logcat trace. And I think maybe the version of your v4 and v7 cause this error. Is your support library of v4 and v7 is up to date? And BTW, ArrayMap only could be used for Android API 21+

Good catch. Rookie mistake on my part. Thank you! – Aaron Mathew Crayford Apr 19 '15 at 05:05

In my case , I solved this issue by deleting the android-support-v4.jar because it's old and has not actually ArrayMap.class and I put the one from \extras\android\support\v4 in my lib folder and then add it to Java build path and it worked finally. Hope it helps :)

My case was after upgrading

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'

to

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

Going back to 8.1.0 solved it for me

This is not a good solution. Instead of downgrading the Google Play Services library, you should upgrade the support library to a version that includes `ArrayMap`. – Albert Vila Calvo Aug 24 '16 at 23:02
My answer is specific about what worked for me, never mentioned it was the most optimal. Besides, since I didn't need the lastest functions, downgrading had no impact at all – Chisko Aug 25 '16 at 00:20

You can find a solution to this error here.

The error is very clear (basically ArrayMap is missing):

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/util/ArrayMap;

This happens because the support library version is old, and another library (presumably Google Play Services) doesn't find ArrayMap on it.

The solution is to upgrade the support library to a new version that includes ArrayMap. That's what I did and it worked.

In addition, according the linked solution you should also:

make sure that your compileSdkVersion matches the major version number of the dependency
