java/lang/NoSuchMethodError on Series 40

[arpit2agrawal]

My application is working fine on Nokia E61i (S60)
But when I start my application on Nokia 3110c (Series 40), App. Error screen appears saying:

java/lang/NoSuchMethodError: No such method ByteAlignCurrentPosition.()V

Note: ByteAlignCurrentPosition() is a function in my application

Hi,
That means that method is not in the picture of the device,
Can you put the code here,

[arpit2agrawal]

My project contains 105 .java files and jar file size is 316 KB
That method is present in several class

But I don't understand one thing... Same jar file is running fine on Nokia E61i and same jar file is giving this problem on Nokia 3110c...why?

[raj_J2ME]

Hi,
I have no idea about it..just guessing -
Make sure that the Nokia 3110 c support that perticluar class and hence then method..
make sure that E 61 includes the details as follow

Java Technology CLDC 1.1
JSR 135 Mobile Media API
JSR 172 Web Services API
JSR 177 Security and Trust Services API
JSR 179 Location API
JSR 180 SIP API
JSR 184 Mobile 3D Graphics API
JSR 185 JTWI
JSR 205 Wireless Messaging API
JSR 75 FileConnection and PIM API
JSR 82 Bluetooth API
MIDP 2.0

On the other hand the 3110

Java Technology CLDC 1.1
JSR 135 Mobile Media API
JSR 172 Web Services API
JSR 177 Security and Trust Services API
JSR 184 Mobile 3D Graphics API
JSR 185 JTWI
JSR 205 Wireless Messaging API
JSR 226 Scalable 2D Vector Graphics API
JSR 75 FileConnection and PIM API
JSR 82 Bluetooth API
MIDP 2.0
Nokia UI API

Just compare that the class you are using is supported by the 3110 c,
else no idea about the same,

[arpit2agrawal]

I already did that...
My project uses following:

CLDC 1.0
MIDP 2.0
JSR 120 Wireless Messaging API
JSR 75 FileConnection and PIM API
JSR 82 Bluetooth API
MIDP 2.0

where are supported by both the handsets...

I tried compiling my project with Series_40_6th_Edition_SDK_v0_9_en
and it gave me error

G:\Projects\Software\J2ME\MyProject1\src\MyLibraries\IO\ClassBluetooth.java:48: cannot access javax.microedition.lcdui.ChoiceVector
class file for javax.microedition.lcdui.ChoiceVector not found
ListDevices = new List("", List.IMPLICIT);

[arpit2agrawal]

I tried compiling my project with Series_40_6th_Edition_SDK_v0_9_en
and it gave me error

That error is resolved by downloading file http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Image:Midp21.zip
The application is running fine on Emulator of Series_40_6th_Edition_SDK_v0_9_en
But its giving error on Nokia 3110c as mentioned in the first post...

[grahamhughes]

What steps do you have in your build process?

You have javac with -source 1.2 and -target 1.1, then you preverify... anything else?

In particular, are there any other tools not part of the JDK or WTK? Obfuscators, compression tools, etc?

Cheers,
Graham.

I have no extra tools
I am using Netbeans IDE 6.0
I just wrote all 105 .java files organized into 6 packages and then clicked on "Clean and Build Main Project (Shift+F11)" icon

I don't use NetBeans, so it's hard for me to comment...

There is a lot happening in your build script.

Can you reproduce this error in any emulator?

[arpit2agrawal]

Everything is working fine on WTK emulator as well as Series_40_6th_Edition_SDK_v0_9_en emulator...
I can't reproduce the error on any emulator...

also, some days before when I had around 75 files in my project, it was working fine on Nokia 3110c... but don't know what happened now...

[raj_J2ME]

Hi,
First point -
There is no problem at all while cleaning and building the project....
In fact this is the problem while running the application..can you test this thing on the other handset of the same technical features...

Second point -
The problem persists from the point you have added the file other then 75 file...you just think that what can be the reason and due to which file..

[grahamhughes]

I'm afraid I'm a bit lost on this one.

Possibly, the number of classes you have exceeds some kind of limit. IBM have a tool called JAX, which can reduce the number of classes in a Java application. Unfortunately, you cannot licence this product, and it is not supported. However, you might find a copy somewhere.

Alternatively, simply running the app through Proguard might help. This will at least reduce the size of the classes, and might reduce the number of them.

[arpit2agrawal]

I have merged some come in different classes and reduced the number of classes to 93. But still the problem persists.
I will try to isolate the problem by creating a new project with around 10 classes and post the progress here...

[arpit2agrawal]

Found the problem and Got the solution !!!

Note this issue in Series 40 phones

If you have:
1. Interface named Interface1
2. Abstract class named BaseClass which implements Interface1
3. Derived class named DerivedClass which extends BaseClass
Let's say Interface1 contains say 10 methods but BaseClass implements only 8 of them while rest 2 are implemented by DerivedClass then if you don't declare those 2 methods as abstract methods in BaseClass and if any BaseClass function access one of those methods then you get method not found error.

Conclusion: Make sure you declare methods of interface which you don't implement as abstract methods otherwise you will face problem on some phones.
