Android Packaging Problem
I've never worked with Java or eclipse before, I'm following this introductory guide and all searches via google return no helpful results. I'm guessing the problem is I have built Android stuff with eclipse properly but I have no idea, I followed this guide to the letter and everything went as it explains it should.
Any ideas what caused this problem, or is it specific to the guide? If so I'll post on their help page.
I have tried doing project -> source -> clean up, but that didn't fix anything.
Edit:
I went to Project -> Android tools -> Dex bytecode and it reported:
DexDump: missing classex.dex for project. Please compile first.
So I guess that's my problem! Not sure how to solve though.
Go to Project -> Clean
It will rebuilt workspace and fix the errors if any.
As I said, I had the same problem so I tried all the different versions and
then I stopped filling in the SDK-version number
and finally it did not complain anymore about the wrapper.
After that it was totally fine to write the SDK-version when I created new projects.
Hope it works out for you too.
Had the same problem (running on Windows 7). I resolved it by running Eclipse with Administrator privileges.
try to run eclipse under administrator permission. Problem may be resolve.
I think you installed the SDK in "Program Files" folder . So for do something inside, must have administrator permission.
One thing that may help is to create a new test Android project.
In Eclipse, select File → New → Android Project.
Set the project name to "Test3", check Android 2.3 for the build target, type "com.example.android.apps.test3" for the package name, and type "Test3Activity" in the "Create Activity:" text box. The form should look like:
Click Finish.
Expand the entry for "Test3" in the Package Explorer. Navigate to res/values/strings.xml. Double click on the entry for strings.xml:
Set the text content of the string element having name "app_name" to "Test3":
Right click on "Test3" in the Package Explorer and select Run As → Android Application. The emulator should open and after a long while, you should see:
If these steps do not work, then you probably have an error in your installation.
Try it out and let me know.
I had the same problem earlier today. Google was largely unhelpful.
I fixed it by removing the project from eclipse, then re-importing it.
According to this bug report the problem is caused by upgrading to version 9 of the SDK.
Had the same HelloWorld problem with Ubuntu 64 Lucid / Eclipse 3.5.2 from Ubuntu repository. Restarting Eclipse did the trick, though I notice it still fusses about API level requirement when HelloWorld is run.
Running it as Administrator has solved this issue for me..
Had the same problem - occurred after I tried downloading Android platform v2.3.3 (was using 3.1 and 3.2 earlier) and it interrupted in the middle - restarted eclipse and cleaned all projects and rebuilt and the problem went away
At what point in this tutorial/guide are you running into this problem and did you make sure to include your package information in each file or ie com.something.somethingelse at the top of your class or classes?
Perhaps a registry error or maybe even a problem with activity implementation.
Please post your code if this did not start you in the right direction.
Here are a few things to check:
Make sure you have the latest version oF Eclipse (Helios)
Make sure that you have the Android SDK plug-in for Eclipse.
Now if you have done that... Make sure that any classes you add (Each screen you view on Android is a class and is called an Activity) are in your androidmanifext.xml file See http://wrenbjor.com/2011/01/12/the-androidmanifest-xml-file/ for help on understanding this process.
otherwise make sure there are no red x's in your code or it wont work.
If you still have problems post some code and we can try to help.
Had the exact same problem the other night. Upgraded to Helios (3.6) and it went away, quite possibly as a side-effect.
Under windows 7, rather than run eclipse as an admin, change the permissions on the eclipse folder so the creator/owner has full control, and do the same with the folder the android SDK is installed into.
I had installed Eclipse using the files provided by Windows' native ZIP extractor. I deleted the files and took them from 7-Zip instead. Now the error is gone. So maybe using another ZIP extraction tool will help.
Recently got this when failing upgrade using adb-manager with eclipse open (win32). As eclipse was open, upgrade failed. Then returning to my project this problem occured.
Was solved by closing eclipse, restart as administrator and cleaned project.
I had the same problem but I resolved it using following steps(using eclipse helios and windows XP ) :-
Right click on eclipse.exe.
click on Run As...
Uncheck the checkbox before "protect my computer from unauthorized activity".
And it is running for me as expected !
hope it will also run for you.

When i create a new project, and press run i get this error.
The fact is i do already have jdk verison of 15 and my previously created projects do open and run without any errors. Also, if i add org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-15.0.1 line to my gradle.properties file the app runs without error but this way just does not seems right way to do it.
I have tried to change the SDK version from the project structure like some other questions and answers but it did not worked either. As an additon to other problems i do not have the same project structure screen as they showed so.
I do not know what to do right now, i would be very grateful if you could help me.
You should delete .gradle folder under user name. Then again run your project.
change gradle to 4.1.0
and it will be run
When I work on an android application in Eclipse, R.java never appears. I did the following to try to fix it:
delete ~/.eclipse folder
reinstall eclipse
create a new workspace
reinstall android developer tools
reinstall operating system
None of it worked. Even the Hello World! application that is created by default won't build. What do I have left I can do?
UPDATE:
There aren't any problems in Problems other than the two "R cannot be resolved to a variable"s. The Error Log tab shows an error Failed to load properties file for project from when I created the project. I think that may be a good clue as to what the root issue is.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
It's not a permissions issue, since the same thing happens when I run Eclipse as root. 'Fix Project Properties' does nothing. When I comment out the references to R.java, the problem is not resolved (the reason it doesn't run is [2013-07-08 21:47:37 - AppName] Could not find AppName.apk!
)
YET ANOTHER UPDATE:
running eclipse as root works now.
OS is 64-bit Arch Linux
Make sure that you have no xml related error( open and check all xml files, including the manifest manually).
Clean your project.
Change the build target version.
Make sure that you have Android SDK build tools. It comes on updating the ADT plugin.
Try these things:
Check in the properties of the project, in the Android tab if you have downloaded the version of the API that you are using. (See this in the SDK Manager)
Look into your /res folder. Scan for every file. Does any one has problems? If one resource has a problem, the R.java file is not generated.
Check the AndroidManifest.xml file. Look for warnings or problems, especially the use of the <uses-sdk> tag.
If none of these appointed the problem, try to build a simple java application. Does it work? Are you using the JDK 1.6?
Finally, if you are still stuck, download the Android ADT and use it as your IDE. It has all you need.
If your O/S is 64-bit Linux you will encounter Problems with the ADT because it is a 32-bit application. You have to install the following 32-bit libraries:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
I know this question has been asked before and I have seen a plethora of solutions out there, yet none seem to work for me. I was able to build my apk without issues until this error started cropping up. I have tried cleaning my project, removing it from the workspace and reimporting it, removing "Java Builder" from my Builders for the project, building the project manually, reordering my java build path. I have no visible compiler issues and no problems exist in my workspace.
I did experience this issue before and solved it once by removing the project form my workspace and re-importing it and another time I solved it by removing "Java Builder" from my java build path. None seem to work this time. I currently have most of the settings set back to default (i.e. java build is checked again).
I am running windows 7 (64 bit) and using jdk1.6.0_21 via Eclipse 3.6.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have lost loads of development time troubleshooting this already.
[Update] My locale is English & I have tried removing the debug.keystore, United States as related to issue 834
Please follow these steps; this might help you out:
Right-click your app project and go to Properties
Select Android from left-hand side list
Uncheck the "Is Library" checkbox
If your app project relies on library projects which are in your workspace, those of course need to have the "Is Library" box checked.
deleting the R.Java file in /Gen folder did the trick for me
I tried all the above solutions. but it didn't work.
The solution was to restart eclipse !!!!!!!
hope this will help someone :)
In my case this problem started after eclipse updated the plugin with the v4.0 API release. I fixed it by going to the main preferences for Eclipse and under Android->Build uncheck 'Skip packaging and dexing until export or launch'
Note: if you eclipse gives you the Unknown Command 'crunch' error then follow this post
I've tried to gather the best of other peoples answers into a step by step list of things to try in order:
Check the project is not set as a library:
Go to Project->Properties
Select Android from left-hand side list
Uncheck the "Is Library" checkbox
Clean and rebuild the project - this should delete and recreate the entire gen folder, including the R.java file mentioned in some peoples answers
Check eclipse and all the Android plugins are up to date
Close the project, exit Eclipse, reopen eclipse, reopen the project.
Go to Java Build Path > Projects and check for any incorrect project dependencies
Go to the main preferences for Eclipse and under Android->Build uncheck 'Skip packaging and dexing until export or launch'
Check JAVA_HOME is set correctly. Follow the steps in this article
If you complete the above list, and still haven't solved the issue, please leave a comment, or if you find something else that works, feel free to edit the answer and add your thing in.
Delete the project from your workspace & import again.
This worked for me.
Can't believe similar issue has been there since 2008.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=834.
i'm no expert, but eclipse on Windows, doing android apps, refuses to create the default.properties file (in the app root directory). I've just copied one from another app and it works fine. Simple contents, for Android 2.2 project it just says (ignoring comments):
target=android-8
fwiw
I was having the same issue as the OP except that all these suggestions did not work. I found a solution for me.
Make sure that "Skip packaging and dexing until export or launch." is selected.
Go to Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Build. Just make sure that option is selected and apply.
I know this does not make a lot of sense, but having it unselected was giving me this error and with it selected it goes away and the apk is installed.
I am using the auto generated ant build script from android and ONLY using it as my build process in eclipse. I am not using any other build methods.
I figured it out. I was referencing JavaSE-1.5 and using JDK 1.6. I changed it to use 1.6 and that appears to fix it.
Seems like through my research that is an overloaded error message that covers a lot of error cases.
I just fixed this by reselecting a default JRE for the execution environment (JRE6 for JavaSE-1.6 in my case). It got unchecked for some reason.
This fixed my problem. I kept getting the console error in eclipse "Could not find com_android_vending_licensing.apk" and even though it didnt seem to effect the way my app ran, it was annoying. So going into the com_android_vending_licensing project properties and unchecking the "is library" option, building the project to produce the needed apk and then going back into the com_android_vending_licensing project properties and re checking the "is library" check box fixed the problem.
Run Eclipse as "Administrator" and then import the project.
None of these things worked for me. I'm trying to access native code through the jni, first with NDK samples. What I found was the build won't run if jarlist.cache is not present in the project bin directory. If I copy one from another project to that location (may need to refresh to see the folder in Eclipse), build works every time.
Clean the project and it will do. Sometimes it happens unknowingly but keep trying to solve using diff methods.
I had somehow done a Run configuration as a Java application instead of a Android.
the problem for me was I was trying to use IBM RAD which appears to not work properly for this, I installed Eclipse and now have a different error but I should be able to get past it
On my machine (Windows7, 64bit) I could fix this by setting my execution environment to a 32bit variant of the jdk (I used 1.6.0_23). And I tried a lot of things before...
SHA1's answer did it for me: after updating to the latest sdk/adt, my project refused to build an apk; unchecking the option resolved the issue.
I don't know if the update checked this, or if it was checked before but the new adt screwed things up, but things work again now :)
In my case this worked :
Delete R.Java file in /Gen folder
+
Delete all "R.Android" imports that Eclipse added to some of my java classes !!!
and rebuild the project.
remove -- R.java -- Clean the project and run again.. this worked for me ..
Find the project's folder in your system, enter it's Properties via context menu and deselect "Read only" option. Worked in my case.
This seems to be the source of the problem in many cases, moreover some solutions up there base on copying/rewriting the files in the project what makes them non-read-only.
This is caused by JAVA_HOME not being set correctly. It can be easily resolved by following the steps in this article.
Mine was caused by this problem (incompatibility between ADT and SDK), and was fixed thus:
Eclipse > Help
Install New Software
Add 'https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/' to 'Work With'
section and press enter
After developer tools appears on the list, check it and click Next
Restart eclipse once download is finished
I my case, I had to switch from API 21 to API 19, clean and build and everything was fine again. I am using a Mac and apparently API 21 is not fully supported on Yosemite.
I am new to android development
My eclipse was working properly. But now when I start a new project it give an error
Problem opening wizard
The selected wizard could not be opened
The Detailed error message is
The selected wizard could not be started.
Plug-in com.android.ide.eclipse.adt was unable to load class com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.internal.wizards.newproject.NewProjectWizard.
An error occurred while automatically activating bundle com.android.ide.eclipse.adt (239).
I can't run existing Android project also.But I can start a new java project and run.
Why this is happening
If you have not added ADT then do the Following steps.
Help -> Add New Software -> Add.
In Name option write ADT
And if you have installed ADT in your Computer then add its path in Location like
jar:file:/D:/ADT-16.0.1.zip!/
And then ADT will install.
And if there is a problem try to remove that adt and install again.
1) remove the ADT repo (Window->Preferences->Install/Updates->Available Software Sites)
2) add Indigo repo ("http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo")
3) run updates
4) add ADT repo again and install
For me,what seemed to work was:
1.Restarting the application
2.(Or) Restarting the computer
I still had some problems.Some projects dint load.I'm not sure what the problem is or was.I think reinstalling ADT should do the trick.
Actually it is not necessary to uninstall the ADT plugin. Just add this repo(http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo) and then help->check for updates
I have been having a similar problem, and it seems to be the org.eclipse.objectteams plugin causing the trouble for me. What I needed to do was remove the plugin from my Eclipse plugin directory as follows:
mv ~/.eclipse/*/plugins/org.eclipse.objectteams* ~/someDIR
There seems to be dependency issues with the newer versions of Eclipse. Sorry if I can't provide more information.
Maybe see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350133.
You will also get this fault if you have an AVD running. Close the AVD and restart eclipse
Am posting this answer for the people who is referring this post in future.
The methods that all mentioned will take more time. I have figured out this problem by updating plugin.
But it is not like the way as vic12 is mentioned. I have done this in the following way
Help > Install new software > click on link What is already installed you can see a list of installed software. You can choose and update any one as you want. If you click check for update it will update all the software that we installed it will take a lot of time. By this way you can update the one that you want. This can be done in a minute. it saves time.
In my case computer restart resolved all the issues without re-installing ADT plugin.
BTW, I am using MAC + ADT_v22
Go to Help - eclipse market place - search for adt. Then update or install it. This worked for me.
I had same problem and I have started to read answers above. then I stopped to read and just restarted eclipse and it is worked for me! (this is my first solution for all electronic devices and generally works :)
This can occur if you remove Android from your build path. Just try to relink JRE6 or 7 and restart the program. Eclipse will handle it for you.
I got this problem solved when I restarted Eclipse and changed the workspace am working on.
You can try changing the workspace too. It worked for me!
If you are on a Mac and user Eclipse ADT, go to ADT -> Preferences -> Android. There you should find an option for setting your Android SDK location. Simply browse for the existing ADT, and select the SDK folder.
This of course can only be done after the SDK has been installed.
Just restart the eclipse. It seems eclipse is having some bug which is leading other components from proper loading. Or first of all start sdk manager from background and then eclipse.
Simple:
This is work for me. Please follow these steps.
GO To:
Help>>Install New Software>>Available Software Sites
then Locate for:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
If available then just select and reload
Else
ADD >> Location past this url in
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo ">>OK Then >> Reload
Hope this help somebody .
Enter the variable 'PATH' the path of the JRE folder (java).
I hope that would help somebody:
I had the same problem and ironically the problem was in a simple code error. For some reason this error caused Eclipse to overreact with red lines all across the code and saving errors as well as the error mentioned in this post.
I fixed the problem (deleting an extra }) and all problems disappeared.
I don't know why Eclipse overreacted this time, but it's another option to check before you install, uninstall or update anything.
Good luck.
I just want to add this in here as the problem just occured with me. What I did was close eclipse, reopen it and then it started working. If this doesn't fix the issue then I advise you go with #Bhavin's answer.
You might have stored two ADT plugins one with link and other with zip file you have to delete one of them
Help -> Install new software -> Available software for sites -> and remove one of adt plugins.
This question already has answers here:
Developing for Android in Eclipse: R.java not regenerating
(64 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Did a fresh install of Eclipse, JDK and android-sdk.
I am currently receiving this error when creating a new project
[2010-09-26 16:07:56 - Test] ERROR: Unable to open class file C:\workspace\Test\gen\com\example\test\R.java: No such file or directory
What's the reason for this and how do I fix it?
Eclipse Helios 32 bit
java version "1.6.0_21"
Android sdk API 8
P.S. I'm new to Android development.
EDIT: I tried most of your solutions, but nothing worked. So I started using my friend's install of Eclipse Ganymede.
I have had same issue, all what I needed to do, was create project and restart eclipse.
//Edit: Complete collapsing of "Package" tree works as well.
This is a mighty annoying error.
It happens 100% of the time when I create a new android project.
What seems to work for me is to just delete the file (which DOES exist and is accessible by my user), then hit build, and it will regenerate it and stop moaning.
It's clearly a bug as there are too many people getting it simply by filling in the boxes in the new project dialog (like me) without even modifying any code!
Have a look at your console. It is an aapt aborted error. Since aapt is the tool that auto-generates R.java, therefore, R.java was not getting generated.
Since R.java is a auto-generated file that stores information about your drawables you should rebuild your project. Before that have a look at your layout xml files and check them for errors.
Notice that Project -> Build All should be selected. Also try to run your project.
Removing Read Only attribute on Eclipse workspace directory and Project->Clean->Build Project
did the trick for me. I then clicked on the project directory from within Eclipse and did a F5 (Refresh) . R.java was generated in the gen folder.
I had a similar error on the creation of new projects myself. After messing around I tried moving the R.Java file into the same location as my projects java file (the src file). Eclipse then saw I removed the R.Java file from its location and created another and that seemed to clean up the error.....I dont know if it was because eclipse rebuilt the file and then saw it or what but that seemed to work for now.
After creating the Project, Right click the Project Folder within the Project Explorer on the Left Tab of Eclipse.
Click on Source->Format.
The Console will say:
[2010-11-24 11:57:42 - YourProject] R.java was modified manually! Reverting to generated version!
Then you're good to go. Try running your Project and it will compile.
Check your imports. If this has sneaked in, then delete it.
import android.R;
Had a almost identical issue with Eclipse Helios 64 bit on Linux, but I had the "1.6.0" API selected like you. The bizarre thing was I could type;
cat <the path it was moaning about>
in a console it would display correctly.
I created a new AVD which used Android 2.1, the issue magically vanished. Perhaps it's a bug in Android SDK or Eclipse?
Right click on your project name in package explorer. Then click 'Validate'. It will be fine.
Here is how to fix it:
Go to your "workspace" folder and make sure it's not "read-only"
Eclipse Menu > Projects > clean
Had the same issue.I was able to solve it by doing the following:
go to Window/Preferences/Java/Build Path
select 'Folders' and change the output folder to 'gen' (this is where Android looks for the generated java files,but the default in eclipse is 'bin').
restart Eclipse
Windows 7,Eclipse 3.5.2
Configure buildpath.. check android , it worked, of course i followed one of the posts mentioned above window, preferences, java, java build path and selected project,
then created a project, and tried to build same error, then i checked build path and saw android is unchecked, checked it and build again, it works!
I had this exact same problem with no helpful errors. finally, I tried deleting my debug keystore and it worked:
rm ~/.android/debug.keystore
I had seen people mention that, but I figured it wasn't my problem because I wasn't getting any errors relating to the debug keystore. I found the answer here:
"Debug certificate expired" error in Eclipse Android plugins
apparently the debug keystore is only valid for one year.
I would say that once you have created your project and you've mention the R.class error --> just restart the Eclipse IDE and everything will be fine ;)
1.-Open Eclipse
2.-Open Window/Preference
3.-Expand JAVA option
4.-Select Build Path
5.-Check the option "Projec"t and uncheck "folder" options
6.-Click on OK
7.-Restart eclipse IDE
Let's go to code !!
This problem can be solved by merely cleaning and rebuilding the project. How ever there is a link to the latest version of Eclipse for Android.

In mac,
I select Project>Clean
after that, i unchecked Build Automatically
then i run the project and it works :)
Windows 7 64bit, run eclipse as administrator, solved the problem for me.
In my case there was no gen folder after pressing clear...
To solve it, i created a new gen file, then when to Build Path => Configure Path, and pressed ok.
All went smooth after that :-)
Following steps are done as solutions:
1. Collapse the project tree structure
2. Go to the workspace and remove the readonly permission of the workspace.
3. right click "default.properties" and go to properties and uncheck the readonly permission in eclipse.( this is done when the workspace shows build error even though there are no compilation issues)
