android sdk error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]

Question

what is wrong with my code? when I comment it,It works very well.

public void sendToOther(){

    PackageManager pm=getActivity().getPackageManager();
    try {
        PackageInfo info=pm.getPackageInfo(getActivity().getPackageName(), 0);
        ApplicationInfo ainfo = info.applicationInfo;

        File src = new File(ainfo.sourceDir);
        File dest = new File(getActivity().getExternalCacheDir(), "myfile.apk");
        if (src.exists()) {
            copyFile(src,dest);
            try{
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                intent.setType("image/jpeg");
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(dest));
                startActivity(intent);
            }catch (Exception e){
                Log.e("tag", e.toString());
            }
        }


    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }



}

when I want to run this code in my device, it says:

Waiting for device.

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]

I searched a lot and I didn't find any solution, please help

why are you 'sending' a streamed .apk with a mime/type of 'jpeg' ??? also , u may want to google the 'uri.fromFile' ... because there may be a tweek needed for that when its a local file on EXT storage mount?? — Robert Rowntree, Jun 29 '14 at 12:37
There is no DEX file in `/data/dalvik-cache` because dexopt failed while trying to create it. `does not include classes.dex` means your APK file doesn't have a "classes.dex" entry in it -- check it yourself with a Zip utility — CodeWalker, Jun 29 '14 at 16:59
@RobertRowntree I wanted to send apk files from bluetooth, older android devices doesn't recognize to send apk files from bluetooth. — sinoohe, Jun 30 '14 at 11:00

I found a solution, But I am completely shocked why it's working now?!!!!! I removed try catch from the intent scope. orginal code:

try{
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                intent.setType("image/jpeg");
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(dest));
                startActivity(intent);
            }catch (Exception e){
                Log.e("tag", e.toString());
            }

fixed code:

  Intent intent = new Intent();
                    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                    intent.setType("image/jpeg");
                    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(dest));
                    startActivity(intent);

It's working perfectly now.

I think it something else. Not worked for me... damn – djdance Jul 02 '14 at 18:00
debug your program from deleting codes and find out which file causes this error? I found this line(try catch) from this way – sinoohe Jul 03 '14 at 18:40

unfortunately, this appears if I add some SDK (facebook for example), and I cant check it for "hidden errors". But I solved it by uncheckin some option of IDE http://stackoverflow.com/a/18650805/2233069 – djdance Jul 04 '14 at 04:46
