Shuchi,

The culprits are most likely among Salesforce classes you imported.
What are you trying to do is to have SOAP consuming client, since
SForce is accessible through SOAP/WSDL, is this right?
If it is, you have to be careful when importing various jar files
precompiled for you to ease the pain of building the stubs yourself.
Many of those will rely on classes that Android has zero knowledge of
like RMI (java.rmi.*) or XML RPC (java.xml.rpc.*), which are present
in Java SE and EE.

You will probably have to bite the bullet and import some SOAP
library, that could be compiled for Android.
I am not SOAP user myself, but some people rave about ksoap2 library,
and luckily for you, it has been adjusted to work with Android:
