Getting ClassNotFound Error after upgrading from ADT 16 to ADT 17

My application worked fine. But as soon as I upgraded from ADT 16 to ADT 17, I get this error

How to solve it?

Answer 1

This problem occurs because the "lib" folder is now renamed to "libs" in Android People. And as soon as we put our external banks in this "libs" folder, it is automatically added to the application build path.
