Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1 about ksoap2-android HOT 26 CLOSED

[deleted comment]

When adding all the sources files included in the 2.5.2 
ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar the same error occurs 
for axis classes and commons logging classes (which eclipse adds automagically).

I am getting this exact same error/issue 

running xubuntu 10.10 maverick, 

Eclipse Galileo 

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.5.2
Build id: M20100211-1343

Does that result in any actual failure in terms of the build failing or the 
application not working or is is just a warning. Also do you have some more 
details about the error message. And does it only occur in Eclipse or also with 
the ant based build?

I am getting the same error!!!. Because of this I am not able to build my App. 
I have tried by removing the class files for which the error is getting 
generated, but it seems that I need to remove almost everything from the jar. I 
am attaching the compile error log from eclipse.

Let me ask again. Does the ant build work?

Same problem here. Console-Output added. 
How can I test the ant build ?

Something like android update project.. see more at

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/other-ide.html

I try this:

android update project --name <project_name> --target <target_ID>
--path <path_to_your_project> 

2 files updated - same problem.

What's about the zip-Error ? (see: console.txt/comment 7)

Solved here. Jar-File was corrupt.

How so? Did you follow the download instructions on the wiki or downloaded in 
some other way? 

Can everybody having this problem please retest following the download 
instructions for the lib file from here:

http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/wiki/HowToUse

If the problem is solved I will close the issue. Otherwise I have to 
investigate at some stage.

I have tried with ant and it works. But with ADT it is not working. Is the 
ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar updated???(The change 
log still says last updated on Nov 01, 2010.

Thanks

Try with the new release 2.5.4

I tired with all the versions and I still keep getting the error : 

Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

A closer look at the logs indicates that the file is an invalid archive. I 
tried downloading all the jar files and the error was the same. On inspecting 
further, it seems that the jar files being generated are corrupt. Please 
correct me if I am wrong.

You can try downloading any jar file and attemp to view or extract the contents 
using an archiver such as winrar and see what I am talking about.

I just downloaded the file from 
http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/source/browse/m2-repo/com/google/code/ks
oap2-android/ksoap2-android-assembly/2.5.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.4-jar-wit
h-dependencies.jar

as documented on the download page (right click on view raw file - save link 
as) and extracted the file just fine with

jar -xf ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

How are you doing this? It works fine on Mac and Ubuntu.

I was following the same steps on a windows 7 professional machine.

1. Right click on file
2. Click on save link as
3. Select destination as my desktop
4. Try to add it as a library or view the contents

No.. NOT right click on the file. Right click on the link that say "View raw 
file" ...

Or try this command:

wget 
http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/
ksoap2-android-assembly/2.5.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.4-jar-with-dependencie
s.jar

you should get a file of 146kB size.

  i download the jar ,  using this link http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/ksoap2-android-assembly/2.5.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar  or also click in View raw file...
i got always this error in Eclipse : 
[2011-03-23 17:22:02 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: wrapper was not 
properly loaded first
[2011-03-23 17:22:02 - xxxxxxx ] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to 
execute dex: wrapper was not properly loaded first


Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: wrapper was not 
properly loaded first   xxxxx       Unknown Android Packaging Problem

i solve the problem ... 
i start eclipse as administrator (shift right click :) ..) ....
after i clean project  and it works fine ....
thanks 

All user errors that have nothing to do with ksoap the code base.

you are downloading the file in the wrong way (instructions are very 
confusing), here is the link for the jar

http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/
ksoap2-android-assembly/2.5.4/ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.4-jar-with-dependencie
s.jar

next time look here

http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo/com/google/code/ksoap2-android/
ksoap2-android-assembly/

If you have a better way to write the instructions feel free to do so! Either 
comment on the page or request wiki write access.

When i attach ksoap2-android-assembly 2.5.7 jar then it get force close please 
suggest me why this problem occures.

You have not downloaded the file properly. Read the instructions on the website.
