Android Intent-filter VerifyError

Question

I have a rather unusual issue. My program works fine when opened directly. When opened via an intent-filter custom extension match it crashes with a VerifyError. The class it can't find is in library jar in a java project dependency.

Bear in mind this works perfectly when opened from the app drawer.

As a quick check I copied the jar from the java project dependency into my Android project. Afterwards it runs fine even from an intent-filter extension match.

Does anyone know why the class lookup would behave differently based on the intent-filter match?

I decided to try converting the java project to an android library and it was relatively simple. After conversion I no longer needed to copy the sub-library to the main Android project, it worked right from the Android library. I'm not sure why the java library almost worked , but I suppose it's best to simply convert everything to Android if possible.

Here's a link for conversion:
