NoClassDefFoundError occurs on JDK 8

[mrjohannchang]

I do not want to leak our app's package name, sorry for not attaching the error messages.

We tried this library and it works like a charm widh JDK 7. But I just found out that NoClassDefFoundError would occur if compiling by JDK 8.

Both Java versions are from Oracle.

Just run a "find and replace" on your package name and put something else. Then post your logs.

Did you add com.activeandroid.ActiveAndroid.class to the --main-dex-list file? It might be that the order in which classes are packed in the different dex files is different depending on the JDK version used. So you should try using --main-dex-list like the README section advises.
