Android Cordova App crashes with ClassNotFoundException?

Question

I have a problem with an android app. The following is the error message I get:

11-06 18:15:02.606: E/AndroidRuntime(2424): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{de.wiedemann.mobile/de.wiedemann.mobile.WIEDEMANN}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "de.wiedemann.mobile.WIEDEMANN" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/de.wiedemann.mobile-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]

I tried the following things:

• Delete R.java
• Clean project
• Check all dependencies under project preferences -> order and export
• Uncheck "Is Library" under Tab "Android" under Project Preferences
• Restart Eclipse
• Try another workspace

Nothing works. Anyone knows how this error comes and how I can resolve it?

The Manifest:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Answer 1

rename package path (in Eclipse, not in Manifest) of WIEDEMANN.java into wiedemann.app > de.wiedemann.mobile (as you can see in gen folder correct package name). Please, change symbols to lower case. Use F2 hot key in order to rename;)

Answer 2

EDIT:

Just simply rename the android:name in your activity tag to wiedemann.app.WIEDEMANN. After watching the screenshot https://i.sstatic.net/0F6Zo.jpg

it came to my mind I was proposing wrong answer previously.

Or Just paste this in manifest.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="16" android:versionName="0.0.1" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" package="de.wiedemann.mobile" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:resizeable="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="wiedemann.app.WIEDEMANN" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" android:exported="false" android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">

        </activity>
        <activity android:label="@string/share_name" android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.encode.EncodeActivity">
