Hi guys,

I have a little problem with the ADT in eclipse. I develope a custom view, which will contains a OvalShape. After testing this app on the emulator, everything seems to be ok, but only the integrated layout preview of ADT plugin shows me following msg: ClassNotFoundException: android.graphics.drawable.shapes.OvalShape

Is this a plugin bug? After hours searching I found nothing -.-

Could somebody help me?

Greetz

I dont use eclipse but I have a suggestion you might try. Try adding this line to the top of the class that contains the view with the oval shape, before the class definition:

import android.graphics.drawable.shapes.OvalShape;

If its still not finding the OvalShape class then maybe its a problem with you classpath or android path in your environment variables

Thanks for your hint, but eclipse automatically adds includes to projets.

But what you mean with problem with android path in my environment variables?! I think, the android installer configured already my system correctly?! (OS: Win7)
