copied!<p>For the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/VerifyError.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>VerifyError</code></a> part, the question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/668788/android-java-lang-verifyerror">Android java.lang.VerifyError?</a> mentions the necessity to run any 3rd party JAR files through the <strong><a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/othertools.html#dx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"dx" tool</a></strong> that ships with the Android SDK.</p> <p>The <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html#fc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">compatibility section</a> of Android mentions:</p> <blockquote> <p>If your application uses APIs introduced in the latest platform version but does not declare a <strong><code>android:minSdkVersion</code></strong> attribute, then it will run properly on devices running the latest version of the platform, but not on devices running earlier versions of the platform.</p> </blockquote> <p>So that attribute needs to be set (to 1.5 in your case), while you are compiling your project with a 2.0 SDK.</p> <p>In the case of the OP <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/263111/nathan">nathan</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>I was compiling with 2.01 while having my target and minimum sdk =3, and then testing on avd with 1.5.</strong></p> </blockquote> <hr> <p><a href="http://osdir.com/ml/Android-Developers/2009-10/msg01351.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This thread</a> adds:</p> <blockquote> <p>Pretty much all <code>VerifyErrors</code> are build errors</p> </blockquote> <p>According to <a href="http://osdir.com/ml/Android-Developers/2010-02/msg00740.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Android 2.x will give you a more specific exception (<code>NoSuchMethod</code>, <code>ClassNotFound</code>) at the point of the failure rather than an ambiguous "<code>VerifyError</code>" for the entire class. Unfortunately it's likely failing on the older versions of the OS.</p> </blockquote> <p>Sometimes, this error is about a <a href="http://markmail.org/message/2thafc2fp4ukywrr#query:android%20new%20thread%20verifyerror+page:1+mid:gflpvlyv25lcb27p+state:results" rel="nofollow noreferrer">missing class</a>, or <a href="http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/167642" rel="nofollow noreferrer">missing jars</a>, or because of some process space need to be separated with <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2886" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>android:process=":otherProcess"</code> tag</a>.</p> <hr> <p>So what that means is:</p> <p>Trying to catch such a <code>VerifyError</code> exception is likely to fail.<br> See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2014102/cant-catch-java-lang-verifyerror">can’t catch java.lang.VerifyError</a></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>As a general rule, it's a good idea to tick the "Filter by API level" checkbox when browsing the API documentation</strong></p> </blockquote>
