Android-DirectoryChooser: NoClassDefFoundError exception

This happens when pressing the button with the Intent.

final Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(context, DirectoryChooserActivity.class);
final DirectoryChooserConfig chooserConfig = DirectoryChooserConfig.builder()
         .newDirectoryName("Dir")
         .allowReadOnlyDirectory(false)
         .allowNewDirectoryNameModification(true)
         .build();
chooserIntent.putExtra(DirectoryChooserActivity.EXTRA_CONFIG, chooserConfig);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, REQUEST_DIRECTORY);

As this thread is quite long, here the summary of what solved it for me:

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://guardian.github.com/maven/repo-releases' }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.gu:option:1.3'
    compile 'net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:3.2@aar'
}

Hope it helps somebody else when checking this issue.

Fixed. I have included this lines in my own build.gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'http://guardian.github.com/maven/repo-releases' }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    ...
    compile ('net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:3.0@aar') { transitive = true; }
}

Seems to be fixed when including transitive = true in gradle:

compile ('net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:3.0@aar') {
        transitive = true;
}

Then it tries to include com.gu:options, but gradle is not able to resolve the library. screen shot 2015-08-19 at 11 06 19

[BASICS] Just copy the JAR file to your app’s “libs” folder and put the following in your app’s “build.gradle” file: compile files(‘libs/option-1.3.jar’)

It’s a great library BTW.

I Don’t know if it’s just me or what, but I couldn’t find a valid Maven repoistory on Guardian’s “gu.options” github directory. So I just downloaded Option 1.3 JAR file from: http://guardian.github.io/maven/repo-releases/com/gu/option/1.3/option-1.3.jar and everything’s OK now.

👍 Thanks for documenting that!
