Android Logcat error message.

Question

These error messages appear when I run my Application. It doesn't affect the execution of the application though. The app is based on Android 4 ( API Level 14), it has some code to call a web service, and the build path has http-commons library.

Strange error. Seems like a problem with your application setup — Flynn, Feb 12 '12 at 09:06

If you google for initializeJavaContextClassLoader NullPointerException you'll find you are definitely not the only one running into this. The solution isn't really clear though.

Have you tried doing a Project -> Clean and rebuilding?

Yes I tried 'clean and rebuild' with no success. The weird thing is that sometimes the app runs without generating the error! – Mahmoud Abou-Eita Feb 12 '12 at 09:25
