I am making an android project game which I recently added some libraries to this project, and since I did I get the same error:
dex2oat : Failed to create oat file: /data/dalvik-cache/arm/data@app@***.*******.*************[email protected]@classes.dex: Permission denied
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "***.*******.*************.MainActivity" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/***.*******.*************-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/***.*******.*************-1/lib/arm, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]

I believe I should say that all the projects / library projects are using the same target "android-23". I have checked all the answers on StackOverflow and other websites and could'nt find any answer that solved my problem. Thanks for helping!
EDIT
The project is written on Netbeans IDE framework, not on android studio and the project isnt using gradle. here is the AndroidManifest.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="***.*******.*************"
android:versionCode="7"
android:versionName="1.5">
<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon"
>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<activity
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:name="MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
EDIT #2
After a little bit of digging it seems like there is a problem with the dex2oat trying to create oat file:
dex2oat : Failed to create oat file: /data/dalvik-cache/arm/data@app@***.*******.*************[email protected]@classes.dex: Permission denied
I have no idea what to do now. Referenced libraries: Google Play Services and Android Support v13. If I remove the libraries the project works fine... so what is the problem?
Alright, so after a long time of searching it turns out the problem was with the sdk manager of android - I downloaded all the build tools when I only had to download one. So I deleted all the unnecessary packages and the project is now working fine. Thanks for those who tried to help!
