What can I do to solve it? I have tried many possible solutions (I tried to remove my eclipse folder and .android folder)

Further to my comment, seems post #10 in Issue 66661 that I referred to, has identical error log to yours

So it looks like you are using 22.6. Therefore just run AVD Manager from outside Eclipse until they release a 22.6.1 to fix this bug

Have you tried to remove android-sdk and install it again?

Eclipse Android: Failed to create the part's controls

When I create a new Android Application Project and go to Graphical Layout of the activity_main.xml file, I get error "Failed to create the part's controls".
OS: Windows 8
Eclipse: Eclipse Standard 4.3.1 (Kepler) 32-bit
Android SDK from site: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (32-bit)
installed Developer Tools from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
I tried to (without good results):
deleted files in ${workspace}/.metadata/.plugins (according to Failed to create the part's controls)
do it on Eclipse JUNO
reinstall Android SDK
create new workspaces for new project
when I go to File --> Switch Workspace... and choose the same workspace, the error not occurs, but I don't see any components in Palette.
Can anybody help? Thank You.

It is very possible that your android project has lost all its contents because eclipse problems, have you cloned the project?.
Open the file activity_main.xml with any plain text editor, such as notepad. Check if there is something inside, if you can not recover it is empty.
I hope they solve and have a backup of the project.
If you need help tell me and I will try to solve the problem with you.

I cannot do anything because of the error log popping up with empty error messages. Please help me.
Details
I have connected a samsung device and install kies driver software, and this happened after I tried to test the application on the real device.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Try switching to a new window.
Just right click on any of the file names on the top menu, and click on "new window".

Seems to be a problem with the render target of API 19. Try changing the render target to something lower than 19, e.g. 18. (That's the little Android symbol with the number and the dropdown arrow above the rendered layout.) It fixed the issue for me.

Not able to open graphical editor view in android ADT 16.0.0

Went through many posts I found on the graphical editor problem I am facing. Not able to get an answer. Here is the issue
I am using Android ADT 16.0.0 and I am able to open the graphical editor but not able to see the user interface view. The app on the whole builds and works fine on the simulator. It is annooying to use only XML editor.
I installed this environment by copying the SDK, ADT plugins separately from a successful installtion. It looks as though something related to the Android Layout Editor is missing. The error thrown is

First look I guessed the layout editor files were missing. Any thougths on how to get around it??

Android Layout Editor cannot open file

I am working through the Android Google Maps tutorial here http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html using Eclipse 3.6 and Google API's 10 revision 1.
However, whenever I try to edit the 'Main.xml' file, the following error is thrown by the editor:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Any clues on what I am doing wrong/possible fixes would be much appreciated.

I just had some similar issues. It turns out I didn't have all of the web tool plugins installed properly. Look into installing the Web Tools: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/indigo/
(or .../helios/, if that's your Eclipse flavor)
If you did like me and installed only portions of the web tools, you may have problems later. If you want to load the full thing, go back and uninstall the partially-installed plugin first.
Uninstall Navigation:
[Eclipse (Mac) || Help (Win)] -> About Eclipse SDK -> Installation Details -> Select Plugin -> Uninstall...
Install Navigation:
Help -> Install New Software... -> Work with: <install URL>

hmmm, i dunno what is causing the problem but it looks like it is an issue with the graphical xml editor in eclipse. As a quick workaround, have you tried right-clicking main.xml in the package explorer, and doing 'Open With -> Text Editor'?
