Hello, I'm having a very hard time trying to use XWPFDocument on Android. Seems like I've read everything I can find from Google on the subject, but am still hitting an issue. In particular, here's part of the exception I'm getting when I try to write a DocX from an Android app:
E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: avax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory.newFactory E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.internal.marshallers.PackagePropertiesMarshaller.<clinit>(PackagePropertiesMarshaller.java:45) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.OPCPackage.init(OPCPackage.java:161) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.OPCPackage.<init>(OPCPackage.java:141) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.Package.<init>(Package.java:37) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.ZipPackage.<init>(ZipPackage.java:65) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.OPCPackage.create(OPCPackage.java:337) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument.newPackage(XWPFDocument.java:256) E/AndroidRuntime( 2553): at org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument.<init>(XWPFDocument.java:129) I understand the issues on Android are 2-fold. 1: the method limit. I haven't seemed to hit that yet, so I haven't needed to shrink the POI jars. 2. The use of javax.* namespaces. Many of the solutions I saw on Google involved manually opening the jars and replacing "javax" with something else, like "avax". For this I used Jarjar and the Gradle plugin for same, with a rule like: "rule javax.** avax.@1" The resulting fat jar appears to have its javax namespace renamed, and indeed, I can't find the string "javax" anywhere when grepping through the directories. I'm also not sure if I need to manually install stax-api. It appears to be installed as a POI dependency, but installing stax:stax-api:1.0.1 doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any idea as to why I'm getting this NoSuchMethodError? Guessing it has to be something found on the JVM but not Dalvik, but I can't figure out what that is and am quickly approaching my wits' end. Do I have to do anything to tell POI to use the javax.xml.* facilities provided by stax-api and not expect to find them on the VM running it? Or is there something else I'm missing? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
