I am very beginner for this Estimote Beacons i just tried to Convert Estimote Demo Android Studio Project into Eclipse IDE. but I'm getting pretty close, but I'm having some trouble on Library file. I am following the Estimote Android SDK Guide on GitHub at https://github.com/Estimote/Android-SDK.

I just want to create demo app for Estimote Notification.

Logcat Error :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.estimote.sdk.EstimoteSDK

This is the line its indicate :

EstimoteSDK.initialize(this, "YOUR APP ID", "YOUR APP TOKEN");

Note :

in very first time i get error in Library File in importing aar file but error not fixed so i just rename it as .jar and then extracted i get classes.jar file with the help of this link

Help me where i am wrong. any help can can be acceptable

Estimote's library project is in .aar format. As you can't directly import and use it on Eclipse. You need to make a library project by extracting its all contents.

For doing so, you'll have to do following steps:

  • UnZIP the AAR into some directory.

  • Create an empty directory that will be the home for the Android library project. For the rest of these steps, I will refer to this as “the output directory”.

  • Copy the AndroidManifest.xml, res/, and assets/ directories from the AAR into the output directory.

  • Create a libs/ directory in the output directory. Copy into libs/ the classes.jar from the root of the unZIPped AAR, plus anything in libs/ in the AAR (e.g., mediarouter-v7 has its own JAR of proprietary bits).

  • Decide what build SDK you want to try to use. You might just choose the highest SDK version you have installed. Or, you can use the android:minSdkVersion and the -vNN resource set qualifiers to get clues as to what a good build SDK might be. If desired, create a project.properties file with a target=android-NNN line, where NNN is your chosen build SDK. Or, you can address this in Eclipse later on.

  • Import the resulting project into Eclipse, and if needed adjust the build SDK (Project > Properties > Android). Also, you will need to attach to this library project any library projects it depends upon (e.g., mediarouter-v7 depends upon appcompat-v7).

So as soon as you have done the above steps, you'll have your library project. Now you can import it to your Eclipse workspace. and can use it with your project.

I have made a library project of Estimote's .aar library from same above mentioned steps. You can get it from my repository: https://github.com/TheLittleNaruto/Estimote
