BUILD ERROR AFTER ADDING LIBRARY

[iC00kScripts]

So, I added the latest version of the library via maven
compile 'com.googlecode.ez-vcard:ez-vcard:0.9.11'
and when i try to run the application I get 968 errors (obviously repeating, I believe its a single error) below is a snippet of the error

Error:indicate that it is *not* an inner class. Error:warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class Error:(freemarker.template.utility.XmlEscape$1) that doesn't come with an Error:associated EnclosingMethod attribute. This class was probably produced by a Error:compiler that did not target the modern .class file format. The recommended Error:solution is to recompile the class from source, using an up-to-date compiler Error:and without specifying any "-target" type options. The consequence of ignoring Error:this warning is that reflective operations on this class will incorrectly Error:indicate that it is *not* an inner class. Information:BUILD SUCCESSFUL Information:Total time: 1 mins 24.333 secs Information:968 errors

This is what currently what my dependencies are:
dependencies { compile 'com.tarun0.zxing-standalone:zxing-standalone:1.0.0' compile 'com.googlecode.ez-vcard:ez-vcard:0.9.11' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0' compile 'com.github.google:gson:1.7' compile files('libs/asmack-android-18-0.8.10.jar') }

Please help is needed urgently. Thanks

It looks like your build environment does not like Freemarker for some reason. Freemarker is one of ez-vcard's dependencies. However, you can safely exclude this dependency from your build as long as you are not using ez-vcard's hCard functionality.

I'm not too familiar with gradle, but I think this might work:

dependencies {
   compile ('com.googlecode.ez-vcard:ez-vcard:0.9.11') {
      exclude group: 'org.freemarker'
   }
}

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the response. It's building fine now

Great! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Hmmm, do you have a snippet to allow me use Action.VIEW of android to initiate a Vcard display/save to contact? the one I adopted keep throwing an exception. thanks in advance

No, sorry. :-P
