Answer 1

This usually means that you are unable to access the source code whose bytecode is being called. In order to list out the exception you would need the original source which unfortunately is usually unavailable in jar formats.

Your option is to update the .jar file by updating your Android SDK with correct Rev’s and let it compile again to fix the issue.

Answer 2

This is a common question and I can never find a good answer for anyone so I'll do my best to help.

This sounds like you are missing the source code for Android. You need to download the Sources for Android SDK in Eclipse with the SDK Manager.

1. Open the SDK Manager in Eclipse
2. Find the version of android you want the source for. In this example, Android 4.2 (API17)
3. Check the box Sources for Android SDK
4. Click Install # packages

For example

After that, run your program and get to the point that you get that error. Now you will need to attach the documentation you've downloaded

Short

1. Click the button Edit Source Lookup Path
2. Click the Default folder
3. Click Add
4. Select File System Directory and click OK
5. Locate your downloaded source code. In this example, look for android-17 for API17. It will be in a directory such as adt-bundle\sdk\sources\android-17
6. Click OK a few times and your source is now linked.
