Android :: Gen Folder Disappearing In Eclipse Droid Project / Need To Fix
Jun 9, 2010
I'm just getting started developing for Android and I'm running into a weird problem.
First off, I'm running Eclipse for Java devs v3.5.2 with the Android 2.1 SDK installed.
Basically, whenever I do just about anything the "gen" (R.java, etc.) folder will just disappear from the project. I'm seen some people online say that it was still on the drive, just gone from the project listing in Eclipse, but in my case it is literally and completely gone.
The only fix I've found is that if I refresh, then try to build, it gives an error and "gen" shows up in the project view (though it's not on the disk), then delete it from within the project, then Rebuild All and it will say that it cannot find it and is recreating it.
Problem is, I have to do this every single time I want to build.
There's got to be a fix for this.

I am experiencing an annoying problem with an Android project in Eclipse. All my other Android projects are okey (at the moment). Whenever I perform a clean (Menu:Project->Clean...) the project gives an error and I can't compile/run the app. The error is: Project 'Project Name' is missing required source folder: 'gen'
As soon as I edit some code the problem disappears until I perform a clean again. I can also right-click on the gen-folder and delete it. Eclipse will recreate the gen-folder and the problem disappears until I perform a clean. This is not a showstopper but it is really annoying since I sometimes have to do a clean before I run the app.

Whenever I do a Clean on my project, I get 2 errors:
1.) The project is missing gen folder.
2.) There is a build path error.
I go to "Configure build path" and uncheck "Android 1.6". It works. If I do this again, I go and this time check "Android 1.6". It again works.

Somethings I'll have an? .xml file selected when I compile a project, only to have a? .out.xml generated. Deleting the file doesn't clear the error, and Eclipse won't compile the project. It just reports that your project contains errors. The solution is to go to Project/Clean. This will clear the error in the project and allow it to compile.

A few weeks ago, I followed a tutorial to get Eclipse and the Android Development Kit up and running. I successfully built the test application and ran it on a virtual device.
Tonight I finally went back to do the next step in the tutorial, but when I went to start a new project there wasn't an option to start a new Android project. Even searching for it didn't produce anything. Window -> Preferences doesn't have an Android preferences dialog, either. The developer tools are still installed, though, according to Help -> Install New Software.
I'm using Eclipse Galileo 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. I just recently upgraded. I remember I had to install some additional packages to get Eclipse to run the Android stuff last time. I haven't uninstalled those, so I don't know what's causing the problem.
What's causing this problem, and what can I do to fix it?

I am using Windows and Eclipse. Through a few mis-clicks, I removed the Android library from my project. I am able to add the android.jar file from the specific version I want but that is does not allow me to run.
In eclipse, how do I add an Android library like 1.6 to an existing project?

I am just starting to get setup for android development. I have installed pulsar and the proper sdks I think. I want to develop for the droid x.
I can't find any information on how to create a new project using the installed sdks. Shouldn't there be a project type for android? Nothing like this is showing up.
Are there any tutorials for getting started using pulsar for android dev?

I'm trying to use the JJIL libraries with my Android project:
http://code.google.com/p/jjil/
I followed all the instructions on importing libraries into eclipse on the android guides, and have had no successes. It just fails to import.
Can some one point me in the right direction with this?

I'm pretty new to android, and just finished setup my environment and reading some tutorials. Then I got sdk samples from the web. Okay, what I wanna ask you is that is there a way to start a sample as a project in the Eclipse? I mean like clicking a project file in c# or a solution file.code...
Or, do I need to make a new android project and import (or add files? maybe) them?

I'm completely new to Eclipse/Java/Android programming, so this might sound like a dumb question, but I can't open the project I was working on last week. it's the "HelloWorld" project.I'm very familiar with Visual Studio so I've been looking for something like a project file/solution or a way to open a directory in Exlipse, but I'm having no luck and am completely lost.

I tried to build test library and test app with latest ADT and Eclispe however Eclipse complains on each reference I made to library classes from my test app. This is what I did:
1. created Test Library Android project, marked it as "Library" (package name "test.library.lib") 2. created Test App project (package "test.library.app") and set it to use Test Library 3. Test Library got LibActivity class which simply referes to lib_main.xml layout 4. I defined that activity in Test App manifest file:.............

I have an android project that uses ant to build, is it possible to import this ant project in eclipse IDE?
update : There is an option to create project using ant build.xml in eclipse File->New->Project->Java->Java project from existing ant Buildfile. and if the build.xml file is selected it show error "Specified buildfile does not contain a javac task"
I guess javac is declared in this task
<taskdef name="setup"
classname="com.android.ant.SetupTask"
classpathref="android.antlibs"/>

I'm completely new to Android development (but not to programming as such). I'm following the tutorial at Android Developers and got stumped immediately.
I've installed Eclipse and the Android SDK

When I create a subfolder in the layout folder, and drag an xml file to it, the generated R file doesn't seem to show the subfolder. a) is there a way to change that b) is the file and file structure still picked up by SVN and c) so, if I do it that way, can I still just refer to the object using layout?

This is a two-part question about adding a third-party library (JAR) to an Android project in Eclipse. The first part of the question is, when I try to add a third-party JAR (library) to my Android project I first get the problem of Error parsing XML: unbound prefix
because I'm trying to use a class from that JAR (and need the prefix somehow defined). What's going on?Second, (after fixing that--the answer is given below), my application doesn't work on Android and I discover via the debugger (LogCat) that the class I'm attempting to consume doesn't exist.
Caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.github.droidfu.widgets.WebImageView...
Why, when I get no compilation or linker error in Eclipse, does it have this problem on the emulator? These two questions are rhetorical for I'm going to answer them myself below. Other posts in this forum creep up to the problem and elsewhere there is discussion, but I feel that I can be more explicitly helpful for the next guy to come along.

I am trying to create a library project, I've got things working up to the point of building the application that depends on the library, but installing the APK on the emulator always fails, because the shared library is not there. (The documentation indicates that the ADT would include the library in the APK of the dependant application, but this is clearly not happening.) BTW, I'm using the package name of my library project in the application's "uses library" tag. Is this correct? The documentation is completely silent on this subject. I've been banging my head against this for two days nowanyone has gotten a library project to actually work.

I'm clearly missing something simple, but after nearly an hour of trying to figure it out, I'm still stuck.
I have an external jar file containing classes I want to use in my project. No problem, right? I just followed the instructions at
That is, I used the Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries panel to add the jar to my project as a library. But it doesn't work. The external library is being included in the compilation classpath, so everything compiles correctly, but the external classes aren't actually getting included in the apk. When I try to run my app, it immediately crashes with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. And looking at the apk, I see it's only 20K, whereas the external library jar is over 200K.

I've noticed that then I use "clean" from Eclipse project menu on my project I receive following error
[2009-02-19 09:55:02 - MyListView] no classfiles specified [2009-02-19 09:55:02 - MyListView] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
Project doesn't use any external jars and rather simple. If I uncheck build automatically and build it - it builds and runs just fine. I'm on MacOSX 10.5.6 and JDK 1.6.0_07. And latest android SDK ( android-sdk-mac_x86-1.1_r1.zip 79046151 bytes becf0f1763d61eedce15d2a903d6c1dd )
