Error inflating jfeinstein sliding menu class

Question

I have an app where there is a sliding menu. I have implemented it using the jfeinstein's library. It was working perfectly fine till yesterday but it has stopped working now. I haven't even made any changes to the code. Here is the error report:

Here is my code:

main:

package com.cvapp;

import com.jeremyfeinstein.slidingmenu.lib.SlidingMenu;
import com.jeremyfeinstein.slidingmenu.lib.app.SlidingActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageButton;


public class SecondActivity extends SlidingActivity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
    setBehindContentView(R.layout.activity_menu1);
    getSlidingMenu().setBehindOffset(100);

    SlidingMenu menu = getSlidingMenu();
    menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);

    setOnClickListener();
}
   @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.second, menu);
    return true;
}

}

xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/pic9"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        tools:context=".SecondActivity" >

     <TextView
         android:id="@+id/textView2"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
         android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
         android:layout_marginTop="27dp"
         android:text="Hello"
         android:textColor="#000000"
         android:textSize="16sp"
         android:textStyle="bold" />

</RelativeLayout>

And, if it helps, I have followed this tutorial to set up the Sliding Menu.

probably this is the culprit. Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v4.view.ViewConfigurationCompat See if the support package v4 is added to your project already. if not, add it to your project and it should resolve it. — Andro Selva, Aug 20 '13 at 09:54
@AndroSelva Hey man, can you send me a picture of yours so that I can worship it daily because THAT HAS JUST WORKED FOR ME!!! It was indeed the missing support package v4.. No idea how it suddenly went missing.. Thanks a lot!! — Anish, Aug 20 '13 at 10:11
No worries my friend.. Am happy it solved your issue.. BTW you don't have to worship me. :P — Andro Selva, Aug 20 '13 at 10:17

FYI, you'd better add support package v4 from library project, instead of copy it to local libs. And remember to add library to your sliding menu application.

Finally I got it.. u just have to right click on your project > Android Tools > Add Support Library, so the prblem was the missing support package v4..
