Android - java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub exception while parsing String into JSONObject

Question

I'm getting java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! exception when I try to parse String to org.json.JSONObject. My Android API version is 19.

Here is my String to be parsed:

{
    "url": "http://www.google.com",
    "cookie": "012121",
    "filename": "Google"
}


JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(str); // getting exception at this line
String url = jsonObject.getString("url");

Are you getting this error on device/emulator or on your environment (tests)? — endriu_l, Feb 25 '14 at 12:18

It is probably because you are using android-provided json implementation and you are not running it on an android device or emulator.

Depending on your real need you can either :

run it on a device or emulator
use another json library instead of the one embedded in android
use roboelectric to run your test (if it's a test) without an emulator : http://robolectric.org/

Also, the problem can be in classpath order for regular JUnit tests. I faced with such order issue and was managed to solve it with this suggestion https://stackoverflow.com/a/23507579/902217 – CAMOBAP Jan 25 '22 at 14:53
How do I run the unit tests on a real device? – Edward Falk May 16 '23 at 18:50
