NoClassDefFoundError - Rejecting re-init on previously-failed class
Please somebody explain me what this error means and how to avoid it.
After a while my app Force Closes because of this error:
09-28 12:53:45.746 I/dalvikvm(29489): Rejecting re-init on previously-failed class Lcom/bartat/android/ui/task/AsyncTaskExt; v=0x0

09-28 12:53:45.752 E/AndroidRuntime(29489): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.bartat.android.ui.task.AsyncTaskExt
This problem couldn't be solved by reinstalling the app.
If I rename the AsyncTaskExt to AsyncTaskExt2 for example then it works again for long. But after a few weeks/months it started to get this error again.
What does it mean? Why it is thrown and how to avoid it without renaming the class?
Please help me, Tamás

Happens for me only if instant run is enabled.
