Android Spring Issue

[nala4ever]

Hi All,

I am facing an issue while trying to use the spring android framework. Actually i cant get it to work. Because when i try to import the "spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1.jar" and "spring-android-commons-logging-1.0.0.M1.jar" it gives an error saying "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
". Therefore i was not able to complete the sample program.

Can someone help me regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same problem.

Could you please provide a more detailed install instructions? I use Google API 4 (includes Android 1.6)

I went this way:

1. Download http://s3.amazonaws.com/dist.springf...l-1.0.0.M1.zip from http://www.springsource.com/download/community
2. Pull spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1.jar into eclipse
3. add spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1.jar to classpath through eclispe menu
4. I was going to add spring-android-commons-logging-1.0.0.M1.jar but that lead to issue #1 (see below)
5. So I removed spring-android-commons-logging-1.0.0.M1.jar from classpath again and eclipse finally shut up
6. I have no idea what to do with the <dependencies> shown at 3.2 http://static.springsource.org/sprin...-template.html My .classpath file is hidden AND rebuild very often by Eclipse. The dependencies are going to be stripped pretty soon. Where shall I place this tags anyways? Randomly as child of <classpath> or as child of <classpath-entry>?
7. I included the example "3.3 Basic usage example" in my code and get issue #2 described below (Force close)

My .classpath file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="gen"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/imageloader.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/FlurryAgent.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1.jar" sourcepath="lib/spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1-sources.jar">
	 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.android</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-android-rest-template</artifactId>
    <version>${org.springframework.android-version}</version>
   </dependency>
 </classpathentry>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/spring-android-commons-logging-1.0.0.M1.jar"> 
	  <dependency>
    <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>3.1</version>
    </dependency> 
  </classpathentry>
	<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

I hope somebody here can provide us rapid help. It's surely just a mistake in implenting

Thats the way I got it working in eclipse:

1. Pull spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1.jar into eclipse and add it to build path
2. Download http://apache.imsam.info//httpcompon...client-3.1.zip from http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi
3. Pull the JAR-file into eclipse and add to build path
4. Done! No messing with dependencies was required for example 3.3
   
   
   
   

[nala4ever]

I'm using a different way, Not messing with dependencies. I have my android project in eclipse. And when i try to import the rest template jar file it gives the "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1". I tried finding the cause why this is happening, and it says, The android VM cannot convert the content of the jar files in to the DEX format. I tried different versions of android projects. 2.1 , 2.2 and etc. And tried updating the ADT plug-in in eclipse as well. But no luck. Keeps getting the same error.

[nala4ever]

Hi,

I'm getting the error once i add the spring-android-rest-template-1.0.0.M1.jar file. Can you provide me with the jar file which you imported. Then i can try whats the issue with my android project. It will be a big help.

Thanks

[OneWorld123]

hey nala,

in my initial post in point 1 I wrote a link to a zip file. I took the jar-file from the bin folder in this file.
Dont add the logging...jar to your build path. its in this version already included in the other file.

Post your error messages...

[nala4ever]

Hi oneworld,

I finally made the code working by using a rest template jar which downloaded separately. However it generates an error in the example. the line is

restTemplate.setRequestFactory(new CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory());

the error message says "Type CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory cannot be resolved to a type".

But if i comment out that line still the code works fine. It gives the JSON which returns from the google.

I tried using the the jar file which u were referring. "commons-httpclient-3.1". But it ddint work for me. Still it generates the error in that line regarding the commonsClientHttpRequestFactory.

Thanks

[Roy Clarkson]

I've created a defect for the duplicate dependency error you are seeing. I'm looking into this, and will hopefully have a resolution for you soon.

https://jira.springframework.org/browse/ANDROID-13

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm using GSON library for json serialization/deserialization, in order to correctly handle lists GSON needs to know the List contents type this happens by passing the library an instance of ParameterizedType (fromJson method in GSON takes as a parameter an instance of Type a parent of both Class and ParameterizedType).

The problem is that I'm doing all the serialization/deserialization work in a custom HttpMessageConverter through the restTemplat but all the methods take Class object to represent the response type but Class object doesn't retain the lists parameter type so I can't deserialize lists.

Any ideas?
