[Simple-support] java.lang.VerifyError on Android

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I'm trying to use Simple XML on Android and although I have seen many say that it works on Android I have not been able to get the basic example from the tutorial working.

Here's the code (the error occurs on "serializer.write(example, result);" according to the stack trace):
import java.io.File;

import android.os.Environment;
import android.test.AndroidTestCase;
import android.test.AssertionFailedError;

import org.simpleframework.xml.Serializer;
import org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister;

public class SimpleXmlTest extends AndroidTestCase
{

    public static final String TEST_DIR = "ConcertTestDir";
    public void testSerialize() {
        Serializer serializer = new Persister();
        Example example = new Example("Example message", 123);
        final File baseDir = new File( Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + TEST_DIR + File.separator );
        File result = new File(baseDir.getAbsolutePath()+"example.xml");
        try {
            serializer.write(example, result);
        } catch ( Exception e ) {
            System.out.println("Exception thrown of type: "+e.getClass().getName());
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new AssertionFailedError("Serializer failed with: "+e);
        }
        result.delete();
    }
}

Here's the error I get:

I'm using Eclipse on Windows to develop.

Thank you!
