Android Unity plugin - Class not found exception

I want to export an android library to Unity, but that Android gives the following error:

My AndroidManifest (I copied the one from my library into Unity) is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.joostverbraeken.weargame">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

    <application android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen">
        <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

The dependencies are fairly straightforward and are declared in Gradle:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'], exclude: ['classes.jar'])
    provided files('libs/classes.jar')
    wearApp project(':wear')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'
}

On a forum I read Unity needed to have the dependencies copied into Assets/Plugins/Android, although I'm using an aar instead of a jar. So I copied support-v4-23.3.0-sources.jar into Assets/Plugins/Android as well, but play-services-8.4.0.jar not because it's not included in the Android system files. play-services-8.4.0.aar is included, but if I copy that to Unity I get the following error:

Moving
Temp/StagingArea\android-libraries\play-services-8.4.0\classes.jar to
Temp/StagingArea\android-libraries\play-services-8.4.0\bin\classes.jar:
The system cannot find the file specified.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve the ClassNotFoundException?

Long-time after this question was posted but I found this while trying to figure out how to solve a similar problem.

A better solution is using the following:

https://github.com/googlesamples/unity-jar-resolver

It's a much better way of managing dependencies. If you add the dependencies directly to the exported jar, then you run the risk of collisions with other plugins.

If still someone with the problem or related... Finally I got the solution, it´s so so simple. As simple as copy manually "support-v4-24.1.1.aar" into the plugin unity project folder. Or other support aar android file. It comes with the SDK. In my case the file was in "C:\AndroidSDK\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\support-v4\24.1.1"

No matter the version but you should be sure that "FileProvider" class is inside the file. You can unzip the aar file simplily with winrar and be sure that the class is in there.

I believe this is caused by AndroidManifest.xml which has something conflict with Unity generated AndroidManiefst.xml. It's not friendly that unity does not give us any error messages in this case and it really sucks that only export eclipse project.

I came across the same exception today, so I did some further test and found the ClassNotFoundException can only be produced in Activity classes. So I exported the project and import the project into AndriodStudio and recompiled it. I got some error in AndroidManifest.xml like the incorrect theme or incorrect icon ,etc.

After update all incorrect configurations in AndriodManifest.xml and rebuild the AAR, everything worked fine.

Hope this can help you.
