Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method newFactory()

Question

I'm building an Android application and facing a no static method exception when trying to read the XLSX files.

Tried all possibilities like updating dependencies in app/build.gradle, but no avail.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Exception causing line in code: XSSFWorkbook myWorkBook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis);

I'm adding app.gradle file. The other codes are basic XLSX file reading using XSSF. When I tried to run this java snippet in Spring Suite Tool, it runs properly. However, When I integrate those java snippets into the Android app, it causing this runtime exception.

App.Gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "droidmentor.tabwithviewpager"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 
'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
mavenCentral()
}



dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

@Lino, I have tried to update my android project to JDK 1.8 version still, the error has not resolved. — pradeep janarthanan, Aug 08 '18 at 13:33
@VicJordan, I'm adding my app.gradle file for your references. Other codes are basic XSLX file reading using XSSF in JAVA. — pradeep janarthanan, Aug 08 '18 at 13:34

Check if you are applying any obfuscation on your apk, if yes, you need to -keep those packages and classes so that they won't be stripped by proguard.
