Unable to use KotlinDriver

Luca_Perri · January 27, 2024, 11:55pm

So I recently tried to connect to my cluster via the kotlin driver in an android app. But when I try to start a connection (or use the library at all), I get this error:

 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljavax/naming/directory/InitialDirContext;
at com.mongodb.internal.dns.JndiDnsClient.createDnsDirContext(JndiDnsClient.java:73)

(..stacktrace..)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.lucaperri.gima-gGprbMQgcl8fKcewyK1Gjg==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.lucaperri.gima-gGprbMQgcl8fKcewyK1Gjg==/lib/arm64, /system/lib64, /hw_product/lib64, /system/product/lib64, /prets/lib64]]

Does anybody know on how to fix this issue? I am using org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-kotlin-coroutine:4.11.1

Hello! You can connect to MongoDB with Kotlin in a few ways –

for server-side Kotlin, you can use the server-side driver
for Android or Kotlin Multiplatform, you can use the Atlas Device Kotlin SDK

You mention that this is for Android. In that case, I’d recommend using the Kotlin SDK (second link above).

Hi, thanks for the response.

I have tried tried using the kotlin coroutine, realm aswell as both java drivers (sync and the stream.)
This issue still persists, through all libraries and all drivers.

I am not sure on what to do, since there’s is neither a documentation, nor a solution online.

Have you had a look at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/kotlin/app-services/? There is a quick start tutorial that might prove useful.

Hi Luca,
Do you know the solution to this issue? I’m experiencing the exact same problem.
Thank you
