i'm running Eclipse luna and my eclipse suddenly showing like this. This happens whenever i see xml in Graphical layout. I don't know what made it to be. Any help would be much better.
1.Open Windows -> Perspective -> Other -> Select Java (default) and open Windows again and select reset perspective
Or
2. Windows -> ResetPersspective
hope you help
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 have used Eclipse Helios 3.6.1 for Java development. I wanted to start C++ development in the same IDE so I installed Autotools Support For CDT, C/C++ Development Tools, C/C++ Library API Documentation Hover Help plugins.I have included #include "cocos2d.h" in my HelloWorldScene.h file now when writing the below statement cocos2d::CCSprite * ccSprite; I am not getting auto completion bar(template proposals) on writing like coco and pressing Ctrl + Space from my keyboard. What can be the problem?This might help you solve my problem. Please check here. This is what I got after clicking Right Click Project -> Index -> Search for Unresolved Index. But I have added all includes check here. I think this is causing problem in Content Assist. What should I do in this case? Inclusion seems proper.
Can you check if you have included the path to Cocos2d-x headers folder in your project properties? If not right click on your project > Properties > C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols > Includes tab > Add > $PATH_TO_YOUR_COCOS2DX/cocos2dx/include where you must replace $PATH_TO_YOUR_COCOS2DX by the actual absolute path to where you downloaded the cocos2dx framework.
PS: You should upgrade your eclipse to Juno as well, Helios is a bit old now :)
Sorry dont download eclipse juno actually. It comes with a new tool for discovery options (huge joke) that results in a lot of "type could not be resolved". Many people have problems with that including myself as you can see there Eclipse Juno's "Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc." symbol scanner for CDT It messes all my includes, therefore im going back to indigo.
There's something in my preferences file that is causing Eclipse's auto-complete feature (for Java) to not work.
What do I mean? Well, I work on multiple computers, and I like a very specific color scheme. So, I exported my preferences file from Eclipse on one computer, and I import it to Eclipse on my other computers. The colors look great and everything is nice.
The problem is, something about the importing of the preferences file is causing auto-complete to stop working. This has happened several times, but to figure it out I did the following: I got a fresh copy of Eclipse 3.6. Auto-complete works. Then I import the preferences file, and auto-complete stops working. The suggestion contains no entries.
Here's a picture to make it all real for you:
(source: nelsbeckman.com)
This is kind of annoying. Any ideas what could be causing this? I really only care about my font and the colors in the preferences file... If you want to look at the file, I keep it here on Google Code.
Thanks,
Nels
In my experience Eclipse preferences only work well within the same minor version (3.4, 3.5, 3.6 etc) and you go from 3.5 to 3.6.
I would take the time to rebuild your preference setup and generate a new preferences file for using with 3.6.
You might have the "Java Proposals" unchecked in Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Advanced.
I think it happened to me once because of Mylyn, which activates it's own "Java Proposals (Tasks-Focused)" instead. When I imported the preferences into a new Eclipse installation that didn't have Mylyn installed, I no longer had any completions.
I'm a Java noob (but have been programming for 25+ years, and have worked with OO languages from day 1).
All of a sudden I started getting this error:
Your active platform is: JDK_1.6, but the corresponding property "platforms.JDK_1.6.home" is not found in the project's properties files.
Not sure what caused this condition, and not sure what Java's asking me to do. I'm working in the NetBeans IDE. The last thing I attempted to do is add some binary (image) resources to my project.
In my case the JDK setup in Netbeans was fine. It was just one of those strange Netbeans issues that come out of nowhere.
My fix was:
Clear the Netbeans Cache i.e. delete the folder:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\
It means you haven't told netbeans where your Java 1.6 installation is. Go into settings, add the JDK (JDK->Add->New), and select the directory above 'bin' for your JDK16.
This error can occur at two scenarios:
Right click your netbean project -> Properties -> Libraries
After select Libraries , right panel on top you can see "Java Platform" combo box. This Jave Platform is missing for your project. You need to add using Manage Platforms bottom beside Jave Platform combo box.
Even thought scenario (1) is correct it can happen. Because your project has reference to another netbean project in your Libraries. This reference project is missing Jave Platform.
I have Linux in my office and Mac in Home and this problem is frequently when I share projects in github, I solve it removing the build directory and doing clean and build.
Right click on project - Properties - Libraries - Select the correct jdk version from the Java Platform combobox.
NetBeans bug
If your project depends on other projects, open and clean build all of them(that fixed it for me).
Most likely cache-related stuff. Clean up NB cache as suggested by someone before
You should remove the files under private folder in the nbproperties folders.
for me any recommended way early didn't helped, but changing in project Properties -> Source/Binary format to JDK 7, Save than change back to JDK 8 fixed this error
