Lucene Android NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I am developing a mobile application using Lucene. When I use BooleanQuery it works. But when I use WildcardQuery or FuzzyQuery I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at the runtime. I know android studio supports maven by default. I checked external libraries and all jars added. My build.gradle file has these dependencies:

compile group: 'org.apache.lucene', name: 'lucene-core', version: '7.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.lucene', name: 'lucene-analyzers-common', version: '7.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.lucene', name: 'lucene-codecs', version: '7.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.lucene', name: 'lucene-queryparser', version: '7.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.lucene', name: 'lucene-queries', version: '7.0.1'
compile group: 'org.apache.lucene', name: 'lucene-sandbox', version: '7.0.1'

NoClassDefFound error:

Any idea to solve this problem?

did you first check if Lucene jars could be used on Android ( as is - out of the box ) ? — Sabir Khan, Dec 07 '17 at 11:31
Thanks for the answer. But I decided to implement a web server and run lucene on it. I think It is better solution. — candreva, Dec 09 '17 at 08:14

Android does not fully support java8 features (See https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support). The last release of Lucene on java 6 is 4.7. Compatibility of Lucene 4.7 with android is theoretically fine.

This modification of Lucene 7.3.0 has fixed 'Missing java.lang.ClassValue class' error in Android 8.0 or above: https://github.com/texophen/lucene-android

See this answer ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/76719236/22251021 ) for how to use it.
