java.lang.ClassNotFoundException when inflating a view from a jar

Question

I want to replace the rotating icon in progress dialog with my custom icon. The custom icon is part of my own jar placed inside /device//package_name/Custom_View.java. When this class is referenced in my frameworks/base/core/res/res/layout/progress_dialog_holo.xml. I am having this crash

please help me resolve this issue.

Make sure that you have added the external jar to your project build path.

After that, go to Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export and mark the checkbox corresponding to your external jar.

Clean and build the project before you run.
