Hi,
I have an application that's on Android Market with >10,000 users.
Every once in while (once or twice a week), I am getting a
ClassNotFoundException on the Market Developer Console for my main
activity:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity
ComponentInfo{com.mycompany.myapp/com.mycompany.myapp.MainActivity}:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mycompany.myapp.MainActivity in
loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/mnt/asec/com.mycompany.myapp-1/
pkg.apk]

Note that this application is in production and used by > 10,000
people and MainActivity is the very first activity during startup.
This error happens very rarely, but yet it happens. I couldn't
reproduce it on my developer phone nor the emulator, so I ended up
adding a default application that's extended from Application and
called before my main activity, but this time I got the same exception
for my Application class:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application
com.mycompany.myapp.App: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.mycompany.myapp.App in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/mnt/
asec/com.mycompany.myapp-1/pkg.apk]

This application is installed to SD Card by default and my guess is
that it might be SD Card related, so I tried to mount/unmount my SD
Card to reproduce it and still no luck. I am really puzzled at this
point and trying to find out if anyone has suggestions.
ClassNotFoundException is thrown when the app package does not contain
a required class, but that's not the case for my app. Please help :)
Thank you,
-Vega
