I have a public abstract class and I\'m trying to use the getClass() method, as I will need info from the class extending my abstract class. An example is this:

Answer 1

I noticed that it depends on the Android version you are referencing whether the error occurs or not. I used to define a dependency for Android 4.1.1.4 in the pom.xml linking to Maven Central.

    com.google.android
    android
    4.1.1.4
    provided

Meanwhile, I provide the needed dependencies using maven-android-sdk-deployer.

    android
    android
    4.3_r1
    provided

Then getClass() produces the error.
