[android-developers] newInstance failed -- not accessible to Landroid/app/Instrumentation;

I have checked diff logs. I have reverted to older versions. I am
suddenly getting this error everytime I start an Activity from within
my app. I've uninstalled it off the device and completely cleaned/
rebuilt the project multiple times.

D/dalvikvm(13381): newInstance failed: Lca/foo/bar/TroubleClass; not
accessible to Landroid/app/Instrumentation;
D/AndroidRuntime(13381): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm(13381): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception
(group=0x40025a70)
E/AndroidRuntime(13381): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime(13381): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to
instantiate activity ComponentInfo{ca.foo.bar/
ca.foo.bar.TroubleClass}: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: access to
class not allowed

// crash happens when activity is started like so:
Intent intent = new Intent(CallerClass.this,
TroubleClass.class);
final int result = 1;
startActivityForResult(intent, result);

I see the exception, probably the culprit but dalvik is throwing it.
I tried debugging and stepping through it. After I create the Intent
and start it up the debugger steps through dalvik code and crashes.
The only other odd thing I see is the path in ComponentInfo, but maybe
that is normal. I've taken the the TroubleClass Activity down to
nothing but an onCreate() which calls its super.onCreate(). The error
still occurs. The activity is definitely declared in
AndroidManifest.xml. This continues to happen regardless of what I
do. Even if I install older well tested versions of the app.

Is there some way to purge an app? Maybe some .class file got locked
or something and won't delete?

Thanks!
