Android-maps-utils: Adding the dependency causes ClassNotFoundException

Created on 2 Jun 2020 · 6Comments · Source: googlemaps/android-maps-utils

Hi all,

I was hoping to install the Maps Utils library to add dynamically labeled markers to my application. However, once I add the dependency to the gradle, my app no longer launches with the following issue:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

The Starter Application in my Manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.example.android.wealthplus">

    <application
        android:name=".StarterApplication"

        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
....

Here is my gradle with the Maps Utils implementation:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.android.wealthplus"
        minSdkVersion 26
        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
        }
    }

}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()

    work_version = '2.3.2'

    implementation 'com.androidmapsextensions:android-maps-extensions:2.4.0'

    implementation 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:1.3.3'
}

As soon as I remove the Maps Utils dependency, it all goes back to normal. Also, I am using Parse Server as a backend database.

Any ideas what the issue might be?

Thanks,

Alberto

@air89 Could you try adding the below compileOptions block to your build.gradle to support Java 8:

android {
  ...
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
  // Only if you're using Kotlin
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}

Android Maps Utils uses some Java 8 features now and if your app doesn't include this you can apparently see this issue:

Based on the stack trace you shared this doesn't appear to be an issue with the android maps utils library but rather it could be an issue with multidexing. Are you able to confirm if that is the case?

arriolac on 2 Jun 2020

Thanks for the quick response. I'm relatively new to Android development, so I am not sure how to check. Do you mind sharing how to check if multidexing is the issue?

air89 on 2 Jun 2020

Quick update: I added dependencies, and manifest and class modifications to ensure multidexing is enabled and am still receiving the same error.
