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

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

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
