Why is android.util.LruCache.* not found when using android-support-v4?

I am writing a project that uses LruCache, which is included in the android-support-v4.jar compat library. When running on devices with JB, the code works fine, but when I run it on my Droid X with GB, the app dies with the following errors:

I/dalvikvm(2459): Could not find method android.util.LruCache.put, referenced from method blah.blah.Utility.getBitmap

E/AndroidRuntime(2459):     at blah.blah.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:40)
... [etc] ...
W/ActivityManager(1318):   Force finishing activity blah.blah/.MainActivity

Utility.java:49 looks like this:

    mCache = new LruCache<String, Bitmap>( mCacheSize )   // <-- line 49 --
    {
        @Override
        protected int sizeOf( String key, Bitmap bitmap )
        {
            return bitmap.getByteCount();
        }
    };

So everywhere I referenced LruCache or its methods causes an error. The first thing that comes to mind is that android-support-v4.jar was somehow left out of the APK file, but that doesn't look like the case. I've placed the jar file under libs/, and checking classes.dex.d after running ant debug, I see that it has added the following line:

/home/paul/workspace/blah/libs/android-support-v4.jar \

My second thought was that maybe LruCache isn't in android-support-v4, but looking at the source I see that the following source file is in there, and that it has the methods I am trying to use:

/home/paul/bin/android-sdk/extras/android/support/v4/src/java/android/support/v4/util/LruCache.java

So why isn't it found?

The classes in the support library use a different namespace.

You need to import:

import android.support.v4.util.LruCache;

or alternatively you can copy & compile LruCache.java directly into your app.
