Eclipse hangs at the Android SDK Content Loader - android

I've been working with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno release 20120920-0800) on OS X 10.8.2 for a few weeks now, building apps for Android 3.0 and above. I have a quad core i7 MacBook Pro with an SSD, so performance is not an issue. Everything was fine.
At some point I imported an Android project that required Android 2.2, so I installed that using the Android SDK manager (v.21). Ever since then, working with Eclipse takes forever. First of all, it will print the following in the status message at the bottom right:
Android SDK Content Loader: (0%)
This takes two minutes or so. The specific message is "Check Projects" and while it's doing that, all Android projects are highlighted in red, because the Android resources aren't found. Then, it proceeds with:
Loading data for Android 2.2 (100%)
This will stay for a couple of minutes. Then it goes on to do the same with Android 3.1 and other SDK versions I have installed. It basically hangs whenever the first autocompletion kicks in (e.g. after typing System.) or when I access the Android preferences before it has loaded.
Here's the state of my Android SDK:
What I've already tried:
Reinstalling the Android SDK (via Homebrew), thus deleting /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk completely.
Reinstalling the AVD plugin (v.21) from scratch.
What can I do to find out about the source of these problems and get back to a nice and clean state?

This is the solution I found which works correctly:
Make sure that eclipse is not active. If it is active kill eclipse from the processes tab of the task manager
Open %USERPROFILE%/ on Windows or simply ~ on Linux/OS X (You can locate this folder from the Desktop)
Go to .android folder (This may be a hidden folder)
Delete the folder cache which is located inside .android folder
Delete the file ddms.cfg which is located inside .android folder
Start Eclipse
Hope that this will work for you.

Same problem, stuck at 0%. Ran
/Applications/eclipse/eclipse -clean
and everything worked great again. Modify that path for linux boxes.
Update (from the remark from #Janusz )
For mac users with eclipse outside application directory your clean command will looks similar to:
path/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -clean

Go to your workspace directory \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects and delete all the projects in there.
Note: You are not going to lose your projects

I have used some other answers here to fix this problem but I came across it again recently, and none worked. I didn't want to re-install or delete my workspace, so I finally found one that did work that might help someone else. Delete the file:
/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
You can make a backup first, if you like. It stores your workbench settings (perspective state, file paths for menu options, etc.) But eclipse loaded and I didn't have to re-install anything like some answer suggest. And I haven't seen this anywhere.

I know that this has been resolved but I thought I would share this link:
Solution One
Often times, this problem can be network related. Check if your
network is behind a proxy. If so, you need to configure proxy
on Eclipse. For that, go to “Windows” -> “Preferences” -> “General” ->
“Network Connections”, and fill in your proxy info. Restart Eclipse
after that. Conversely, it’s also possible that you have configured
proxy on Eclipse before, but that you are no longer behind proxy. Make
sure to disable proxy then.
Solution Two
Another solution is to clean up project-specific meta data directories
which are stored under your workspace directory.
$ cd workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects
$ rm -rf *
Restart Eclipse.
Solution Three
Check if an adb process is running. If so, kill the adb process, and
restart Eclipse.
Solution Four
Try deleteing the contents of the cache folder located in user profile under .android\cache
Try deleteing the ddms.cfg located in user profile under .android

All the other solutions did not work for me so I simply deleted all the .log files inside the folder [workspace]/.metadata and it worked again!

It turns out this problem indeed occurs when your internet connection is flaky, slow, etc.
As soon as I got back to my normal internet connection, the content would load fine again, within less than a few seconds.

I have tried all the solution but i didn't get solution. After that i have disconnected Internet and deleted ddms.cfg from .android folder -> open eclipse -> dialog of statistics send to Google? -> Selected NO and Finally Worked for Me.
Edited:
I have tried eclipse -clean command in Command Prompt and that also worked for me.
Note: For eclipse -clean command first you have to select path of
eclipse folder where you have placed.
Thanks.

I'm on a Mac and using ADT, can confirm that the following worked for me.
cd workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects
rm -rf *
No amount of restarting the Eclipse, or rebooting the Mac was helpful. It seems that Eclipse gets into this stage because of stopping abruptly. I had to force boot my Mac and this issue seems to be happening since then.

My solution:
Install all the Docs in the sdk manager.

I prepared little script to make it easy dealing with this reoccuring and very annoying problem. Open Terminal, then:
open ~/.bash_profile
at the end of the file paste this function:
function eclipse-clean() {
echo "removing ddms.cfg file"
cd ~/.android/
rm ddms.cfg
echo "removing cache"
cd cache/
rm -rf *
echo "done! you can open eclipse now."
}
then all you have to do now is:
source ~/.bash_profile
and whenever you are stuck just type in Terminal window:
eclipse-clean

just right click on eclipse and run it as a administrator i was also having the same problem after this it was working fine actully sometimes the windows do not give the permission to access to sdk in normal user so you have to give admin permissions in order to work android sdk or content loader
this approach:
shut down eclipse then go to YourWorkSpace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench and remove "workbench.xmi", now restart eclipse.

I made this batch file to fullfill the task explained by slhck's answer for Windows systems:
#echo off
set ECLIPSEFOLDER=%CD%
cd /D %USERPROFILE%/.android
rd /s /q cache
del ddms.cfg /f
cd /D %ECLIPSEFOLDER%
eclipse -clean -refresh
exit
I explained such approach in this post on my blog.

All the above solutions didn't work for me.
In eclipse Under Problems Tab check errors-
You might see the unable to delete file and project path name.
Now Go to your workspace directory -
Check project.properties for all the project stated under problems tab and check
target=android-21
The target value is valid and exists in your android-sdk/platforms/ folder
In my case target=Google,Google-Api-16 was causing the issue. Replace that and it solved.

Worked! All I did was to open Terminal and typed:
cd documents/workspace/.metadata/.plugins
and then... typed
rm -rf
... in that .plugins category.

There are various reasons for this problem, and each have a different solution.
For a Linux environment, I made a alias to take care of most of these as they happened overtime. To have all of those in one place, you could try this:
Add the following in your ~/.bash_aliases file.
alias eclipse='rm -rf ~/.android/ddms.cfg;rm -rf ~/workspace/MyApps/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/*;mv ~/workspace/MyApps/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi ~/workspace/MyApps/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi.bkp;rm -rf ~/.android/cache/;cd ~/Desktop/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/eclipse;nohup ./eclipse & cd -;'
Refresh source using source ~/.bash_aliases
Note:
~/workspace/MyApps is my workspace, you'll have to configure your's accordingly.
~/Desktop/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/eclipse is the location of my eclipse executable,and you'll have to configure your's accordingly

So this is what got me working again:
Resolved the problems with the different versions related to android-support-v4.jar. They were mismatched which causes problems if projects are related anyway.
The second one is not that obvious: I restarted the IDE from the shell, providing the $ANDROID_SDK_HOME - Environment variable.
This got me a step further but the ide hangs on a different location.
Providing $ANDROID_HOME finally got me all the way up again.
BTW: After this procedure it was not necessary in following starts of the IDE to set the environment variables again.

Android Studio fails to start with error "Cannot Lock System Folders" on macOS

So what happens is that every time I open Android Studio, this happens:
I used Android Studio successfully before.
I've searched everywhere for the solution to the problem, but all the answers I got are only relevant to Windows and not for macOS.
I've tried reinstalling Android Studio but that does not seem to help. Does not seem to be an antivirus issue either cause disabling has no difference. Tried looking for permissions issue but I can't find the equivalent one in macOS.
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
For me it work to reset all network configuration on Mac. My system is High Sierra. On terminal type cd /Library/Preferences and then type sudo rm -r SystemConfiguration.
All the SystemConfiguration files will go away but one (just type n or y). Restart. All the files will be regenerated on restart.
All your network configuration will go away, but is better to setup that again than a not working Android Studio
For me, it worked on Windows by going to C:\Users\"Your username" and finding the .android and .AndroidStudio folders. Open properties of both the folders and uncheck the hidden and Read-only properties.
Hope it works.

Eclipse startup hang, "Android SDK: resolving error markers"

I am aware that other people have tried to resolve this issue but have thus far found a suitable answer.
The error is, on start up, eclipse gets hung up on "Android SDK: resolving error markers" furthermore, if I try to interact with it, it freezes completely and I am forced to force quit.
This is the progress dialog:
I find it odd that it needs to resolve the error markers multiple times but I assume this is just for each project in my workspace.
this is my eclipse.ini:
Other things to note being that all that currently exists within my workspace is an Android Application, an App-engine endpoint project for the before application, and 4 needed referenced libraries. All mentioned projects are open. Is this a matter of me overloading the IDE or perhaps there is some loop I threw it into? I find it hard to imagine that this is a unique circumstance.
UPDATE:
When I delete the app engine endpoint project from the workspace and restart eclipse, it loads fine. When I bring it back in, all good. But when I restart from there, it goes into error loop again. I am convinced that I have a circular reference in there somewhere but I cant figure out where. Thanks for your help.
This problem made me crazy until I found below, if I didn't post the answer, I am not a man!
Hope this helps if you are also going crazy
I found from Eclipse Stuck at "Android SDK: Resolving error markers":
cd [my workspace folder]
cd .metadata
find . -name .markers -exec rm {} \;
eclipse -clean -refresh
if you are in win32
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S .markers') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%G"
I solved the issue with this (from your eclipse folder):
eclipse -clean -refresh
I followed this url: http://tekhoow.blogspot.com.es/2013/06/eclipse-stuck-at-android-sdk-resolving.html (but the eclipse command was enough for me)
There is also another stack question with the same topic and say the same:
"Clean all projects in your workspace and restart Eclipse to solve this problem."
How to Resolving error markers Eclipse Android SDK
After trying all suggested ways, the only way solved my problem was deleting this file:
/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
Original answer
I was having the same problem, and found the solution by going running "eclipse.exe -clean -refresh" from the cmd prompt. The above solution includes other commands done in the .metadata folder which doesn't apply to all versions of Eclipse. I am using Eclipse IDE for Android Developers 23.0.2.1259578.
There is a very simple way of invoking the above answers on Mac OSX:
cd workspace
rm ./.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/*/.markers
(or)
rm ./.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/Project-Name/.markers
cd eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS
./eclipse -clean -remove
This has happened to me before.There are errors in the libraries related to the Google App Engine project, what you need to do is close Eclipse, go to your workspace and move every other project not related to the Google App Engine project to another location on your computer, then start Eclipse and make sure you resolve all the issues with the backend project ,then copy the other projects back to your workspace.
figured it out a couple days ago and forgot to inform y'all.
all I needed to do was save the projects to some other directory if you have not already. Delete it from your workspace and also delete the app engine endpoints project.
Re-import the android project and copy into workspace. set the java build path and everything else (if it says 'project master' control click -> team -> disable) everything should look fine. Then, delete all references to the app engine project, this means folders called 'endpoint-libs/libcontainers...'
This will break your project everywhere you reference the data model
Now, re-import the app engine project and make any necessary changes so that it doesn't have build errors (warnings may be OK).
Control click -> generate cloud endpoint client library. The libraries in the original project will be replaced.
Not entirely sure what caused this but for the time being it has been working beautifully.
Great topic!!
After reading all answers. I have found a simple solution and It work fine on windows 7.
I created a file "eclipse_start.bat" with this simple command lines:
cd /d C:\eclipse (the directory where is the eclipse.exe file)
eclipse -clean -refresh
cmd
Every time i have to launch Eclipse simply I launch this file so the program start without problem.
I tried also another solution. I added this line in the file "eclipse.ini" before all other line
-clean
-refresh
In this way I can launch directly Eclispe with the same result but in a more cleaned way.
Thanks to everybody!
I have a simply solution without code. Stop the process "resolving error markers" using the red button, then uncheck Build Automatically (Project -> Build Automatically), close Eclipse and open it again. Check again Build Automatically.
Sometimes it happen again, then I do this same process. Boring, but it works.
Try go to workspace folder, in \workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources.projects
You will see folders with your projects. Open every folder and remove files ".markers". After restart Eclipse
To me, nothing helped but then I went to .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime and deleted files:
com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.prefs
com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.prefs
Eclipse started normally again.
I used the answer above - first installing cygwin to get the Unix style "find" installed (note that the DOSbox "cmd" version of "find" does not work - in the following line at the top of your Eclipse workspace that hangs:
find . -name .markers -print -exec rm -i {}
Note that the "-i" specifies "interactive" remove - and will confirm each ".markers" file that is to be removed. Then I followed this with a
./eclipse.exe -clean -refresh
in the eclipse folder. I will check again (after the next hang :-) to see if just the second line is all that is necessary. Anyway eclipse is happy again and so am I! Note that installing the full cygwin package takes a while (many hours) - but it is worth it - just start the install at the end of the day and let it run overnight...
go to the eclipse folder with cmd,(Shift+right click on eclipse folder and chose open with command promt)
then type "eclipse -clean -refresh "
You should delete the .marker file from your all project which is exist in .metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources.projects(your all project).
So on a Mac, with Eclipse ADT, the clean and refresh method did the trick for me. Here are some slight modifications:
Go to ADT Location (if Android) -> Eclipse.app -> MacOS
In this directory you should find eclipse.
Type the following command and you should be good to go:
./eclipse -clean -refresh
Create a text document in the Eclipse installation folder
Paste this command and update with your installation folder name
"C:\Folder where Eclipse is installed\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -clean -refresh
Rename to CleanEclipse.bat and run every time you have this issue
Will save you a lot of time!
I frequently facing this problem. And my final approach was..
First open TaskManager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and delete all instance of adb.exe. if problem doesn't solve then go to next step without closing taskManager.
Close Eclipse and also check it shouldn't be running in TaskManager(also finish its process).Then Open %USERPROFILE%/ on Windows or simply ~ on Linux/OS X (You can locate this folder from the Desktop). then open .android folder and delete cache folder and ddms.cfg and start Eclipse. If still your problem doesn't solve follow.
If your problem doesn't solve by following above method then go to workspace folder and delete as suggested by this Answer
/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
If problem still doesn't solve then Pray to God.

Updating Android SDK: "A folder failed to be moved."

While trying to update my Android SDK I am encountering this error when trying to install this particular package:
How do I fix this?
This happens once in a while on my Windows SDK (even when I don't have any antivirus or similar programs running, execute the SDK-Manager as an administrator and so on).
I just update the tools by hand in this case. Which means close the SDK-Manager after the error and open the ANDROID_SDK\temp folder. There should be a zip named tools_R16.zip or similar (don't remember the exact name). Unzip that. You should end up with a tools folder. Copy all the files from this folder into ANDROID_SDK\tools. Overwrite when asked. And take a backup of the SDKs tools folder beforehand, just in case something explodes.
After that, start the SDK-Manager again. The tools version should be updated.
The problem seems to be that Eclipse, or even the SDK Manager itself, locks the folder. Running android.bat from the tools folder should do the trick.
If you launched the SDK Manager from Android Studio then all you need to do is close Android Studio.
I presumed the SDK Manager was a modal dialog that was part of Android Studio - not a separate program.
thanks. this is how I fixed it:
I updated the tools by hand in this case. Which means close the SDK-manager after the error and open the folder android-sdk-windows folder. Using LockHunter, unlock all programs from holding a lock on the android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder. http://lockhunter.com/?ver=&vertype=pro&sm=main_window_64
RENAME the android-sdk-windows\tools folder beforehand to tools_DELETEME
There should be a zip named android-sdk-windows\temp\tools_r19-windows.zip. open that, You should see a tools folder in it. Copy that tools folder to android-sdk-windows\tools
After that, start the SDK-manager again. The tools version should be updated.
When you install tools/softwares use SDK manager. But don't use it when update. Do right click -> Run as administrator on android-sdk-windows\tools\android.bat file for updating tools. Always try to run commands as Administrator specially on Windows Vista/7/8. That'll fix most of permission issues etc...
You probably started the SDK manager from eclipse? I encoutnered the same problem, and fixed it by manually opening the SDK manager from the directy tools.
My solution was to start it from within eclipse - as Administrator.
well i had the same issue on windows 7 ... problem is that during the update it tries to rename the tools folder (inside the SDK folder) and that folder is used by a process "ADB" which is currently running ...
so you cannot do the update smoothly until you stop / kill that process ...
BTW copy pasting the new contents of tools folder from the temp would also work ...
With windows 7, when "failed to install popup" appears kill the process called adb (from task manager ctrl+alt+del) then press "Yes" and stuff is being installed.
I tried running android.bat and got the same error.
What worked for me was using unlocker to unlock the \tools folder.
Ensure you don't have any essential files or folder opened/being used by other applications including explorer.
I've read before, people take a copy of the platform-tools folder and run the update from a different location. This ensures you haven't got open the files it's trying to update.
Could also disable your antivirus for 5 minutes o0o0.
On Windows 7 and probably Vista, run Eclipse as administrator.
My problem was Windows 7 security. I opened up the security on C:\Program Files\Android to EVERYONE with FULL access and it then worked. I then removed EVERYONE after the update was complete.
I had to make a copy of the tools folder itself (keeping it at the same directory tree
level, thus "tools" and "tools-copy" were both in the "android-sdk-windows" folder).
Then ran Android.bat from that copy.
After the update just delete the tools-copy folder.
The error message was Failed to rename directory C:\devtools\android-sdk\system-images\android-21\google_apis\x86 to C:\devtools\android-sdk\temp\SystemImagePackage.old01. I deleted the C:\devtools\android-sdk\temp\SystemImagePackage.old01 directory by hand (it was a leftover? I don't know) and it was able to proceed.
Same error i got while updating sdk. It is because of targeted folder locked (access permission is denied).
You can resolve it as follows in "Ubuntu" :-
Press ALT + F2 and type 'gksudo nautilus' and navigate to the targeted folder like tools or extras and give create and delete permission.
then update, every thing will be working fine :)
First make a copy of tools folder in same directory (android-sdk or android-sdk-windows) then delete the original tools folder and then open the android.bat file by double clicking in tools-copy folder to launch sdk manager and install the tools.
If tools folder is not being deleted then use the unlocker LockHunter to delete the folder and then open android.bat to update the tools.
After successful installation of tools delete the tools-copy folder.
Close Eclipse or Android Studio if open.
It worked for me!!!
On my PC it was caused by monitor.exe running in the background. Terminating that proces solved the problem.
Close the currently launched android studio window from task manager by going to the studioprocess (So when closed there are currently no active studio windows). Then go to Android studio in windows explorer, select the studio64/studio(if 32 bit OS) and right click and select run as administrator.
In one line - you need to run Android Studio as a administrator.
These are the steps followed by me.
Restart the computer.
Open "C:\android\androidStudio\sdk\tools\android.bat" as admin.
Now install packages should run fine.
I know this is an old post but I want to write my personal solution to the problem:
Failed to rename directory C:\android-sdk\tools to C:\android-sdk\temp\ToolPackage.old01.
Obviously I have had the same issue and every time the Android tools needs to be updated it's a nightmare.
None of the solutions I found googling the net worked for me up now, but this is a vital job to maintain Android SDK updated. So I started to find an alternative working way to solve this issue and I found it finally.... at least... it works for me, even if it is a bit tricky.
The basic problem is that the android.bat batch file comes from the ~\tools\ folder and it's still in memory (running) while the same ~\tools\ folder needs to be updated (in our case, renamed).
The problem is that the android.bat runs java to launch swt.jar (the SDK tool), and it remains uselessly waiting for completion of this java program.
You can edit the android.bat and see the call in the latest row of this batch:
call "%java_exe% %REMOTE_DEBUG%" "-Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir=%tools_dir%" "-Dcom.android.sdkmanager.workdir=%work_dir%" -classpath "%jar_path%;%swt_path%\swt.jar" com.android.sdkmanager.Main %*
The problem is the "call" CMD command. It waits for the called external program completion.
But ther's another way to run external programs from a batch file: the "start" command. It launches an external program and terminates.
So I just replaced the "call" command with "start", so that after the change the latest row of my android.bat was:
start "" "%java_exe% %REMOTE_DEBUG%" "-Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir=%tools_dir%" "-Dcom.android.sdkmanager.workdir=%work_dir%" -classpath "%jar_path%;%swt_path%\swt.jar" com.android.sdkmanager.Main %*
Note: Keep the "" in between start and the application path. You can add text in those hyphens and this text will be the caption of the java.exe command window you will see after the changes. In my case I left the caption as an empty string but you can write there what you want.
After the changes, you can start the SDK and the android.bat will be no more waiting, leaving the SDK tool free to play (and rename the ~\tools\ folder without headaches).
Obviously, after updating the SDK tools, you have to redo the same changes in the new, updated android.bat batch file. This could be a bit unconfortable, but you'll have just to remember to make the changes before running the SDK tool and you'll have no other headaches while updating Android.
In Ubuntu following solved issue for me
cd [tools/directory/path]
sudo ./android
Solved this on my side by killing the adb.exe in Task Manager.
I just stopped the emulator, and problem was solved.

eclipse won't create adt project due to 'access denied'

I installed JavaEE, JDK, Eclipse 3.5.x (Galileo), the Android Starter SDK, and the current ADT all with no problems. However, when I try to walk through the 'Hello Android' tutorial, I bring up the New Android Project wizard, fill it in and hit 'Finish'.
After a moment, it comes back with a message saying there was a problem at path X:\so and so\ (access denied).
Things to note:
-Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
-Quadcore Pentium with 8GB RAM, 8TB NAS
-I am an Administrator
-I have also tried this by activating the full (hidden) Administrator profile
-I have reinstalled everything 8 or 9 times
-I have changed ownership & permissions all over the place
-I have launched eclipse in 'Run as Administrator' Mode
-I have installed Everything as 32-bit, as others have done this successfully
Eclipse creates the folder it's having a problem with, but then cannot work with the .project file it creates (access denied). It then can't save anything so there is nothing but an empty folder 'Hello_Android' on the left within Eclipse.
Anybody have any clues about what is going on-- I'm frustrated. I want to get into this, and I've looked EVERYWHERE on the net trying to crack this nut.... but I need help.
-J
Hmmm. Interesting.
I would double-check permissions on the folder X:\so and so\ and ensure that the Administrators group and/or your account has full control.
Have you tried creating the project outside of the users or systems environment? You know in c:\myprojects
Windows7 and creating/saving files in program files or documents can be a PITA.
Turned out to be a bug with how eclipse is written. I've developed a workaround.
The problem is that eclipse can't write to hidden files, unhide them and it should work.

Getting started with Android code samples - permissions error

New to android. Running Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10 with Android SDK plugin installed and working. Trying to get some code samples from http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/get.html , and following its procedure to load said samples in Eclipse yields:
Parent of resource: /home/user/android-sdk/platforms/android-4/samples/Notepad/.project is marked as read-only.
chmod is not recursive, so I entered ~/android-sdk/platforms and "chmod 777 *" ie. all folders in /platforms. Still doesnt work. Appears to be be a bug in Eclipse that wants to create the project in the SDK folder rather than under ~/workspace.
This is an old thread, but still an issue with the newest release of ADT.
To get around the issue and avoiding having to chmod the entire sdk platform, you can just change ownership of the project itself to your profile instead of the default root profile it is set to.
if you issue:
sudo chmod -R yourProfileName YourProjectDir/
Where yourProfileName is your user profile name, it should resolve the issue. If you are unsure what your profile name is, it is usually the name of your home directory in OSX. In windows, you should be able to find it somewhere under control panel -> profiles.
The far better solution is to select a choice such as "copy into workspace" when creating/importing the Eclipse project.
This has the benefit of leaving the original source files in a clean state, where you can easily refer back to them if your modifications to an example break it.
Whoops. Chmod does have a recursive functionality (of course):
chmod 777 android-sdk -R
but that seems to have borked the Eclipse workspace.
