I am developing an app for my family business and I can't figure out what the source of this build time error is?
Error:com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: class name (BaseHTTPServer$py) does not match path (Lib/BaseHTTPServer$py.class)
I tried cleaning the project, deleting the /app/build folder as I was told elsewhere on the internet, and I tried to reset all my changes. Any help on what maybe causing this error and/or how to fix it would be great.
Edit 1: I am trying to use the Jython Library (http://www.jython.org/)
Edit 2: After retracing my steps it is now fixed.
Thanks and have a great day!

Turns out to be an issue with Jython. Removing it from the libs folder and the reference solved the issue.
This answer might help you. https://stackoverflow.com/a/24663045
It might be related to you using the java 8 JDK as your JDK for compiling.
Try switching it to the java 7 JDK.
I know this question has been asked & answered before. But, none of those answers work for me. Eclipse crashed in the middle of a build and keeps erasing the R.java file. I have tried to clean and rebuild. Does not help. I was using SDK build tools 19.0 upgraded to 20.0. Does not help. I didn't touch anything in the XML files and I do not see any errors in the XML files.
Try another IDE e.g Idea and check if this is due to your Eclipse malfunction not your SDK that you have updated recently
I my case there was something wrong with my XML usually my layout files, when you have a problem in your XML files the clean option does not work properly, check your XML files ( layout and manifest ) and after that clean your project.
Hope this help you
I did get my R.java back. There was a jpeg for another project stuck in a drawable directory. Don't know how it got there. and, still lots of unexplained errors though.
All my other errors were from switch statements using R.something_menu.icon for cases handling user responses. I got a message that as of ADT 14, switch statements can no longer be used. I had to migrate to if...else It works. Don't know why. But, it solved the problem & saved my code.
I am getting this error when loading my workspace in eclipse.
An error has occurred.See the log file
D:\XXX\App_name\.metadata\.log.
I can able to open other workspaces and also able to create new onw.I didnt save the copy of my code.Please anyone help me?
Thanks!!!
Thanks for all who commented for my question.I tried your answers but I can resolve that issue by removing this folder from my .plugin folder,
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi.
Thanks
Try typing the following in the console:
C:\path\to\eclipse\eclipse -clean
I faced similar problem while running Eclipse neon with Java 9(latest). I used to get error in .metadata.log . Class not found exception.
Checked in eclipse forum and they had a know error with Java 9. Work around was to use java 8. I tried that and it worked for me. Fix should be out anytime soon.
There are other work around but i did not need it since my project required java 8 anyhow.
When you try to add plugins via Eclipse IDE (Help->install new software) the problem occurs.
I suggest you to get the relevant plugin using there official website or in IDE (Help ->Eclipse market place).
I was having a project open in Android studio. It was generated by the wizard and working fine.
I did some small changes to activity_main.xml and when I changed back to MainActivity.java i get the error in several places that it cannot resolve R. I might have done something to cause this. But I´m not sure what since it appered when I edited the xml.
Does anyone know what might be the solution to this?
I can find the R.java in r/release/packege/com/ and it looks fine.
Most of the time it is due to a bad XML file. XML files can be layout files, value files, or the Manifest file. Please check your xml files and try to rebuild the project. Sometimes cleaning the project and rebuilding it also works.
In addition, make sure you do not have a drawable with an invalid name. I had a drawable with a numeric filename and that didn't sit well with Android so it failed to compile R.java.
Downgrade Your Gradle Plugin Version
No amount of cleaning, rebuilding and restarting would do the trick for me.
The only thing that did the trick was downgrade our Gradle version from 3.4.0-alpha02 to 3.2.1.
So, instead of:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0-alpha02'
}
We used:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
}
After making that change and then doing a Gradle sync, everything worked.
Not sure if it's related to the alpha release or to that version or if changing your Gradle version at all just forces a refresh that otherwise cannot be done with the other commands, but there ya go.
Make sure in your AndroidManifest.xml the package name is correct. That fixed the problem for me when my R.whatever was marked red!
Try to clean the project by doing the following:
If you are using Windows, open CMD, cd to your project directory and run gradlew clean.
I just had this problem and the reason was that after editing the layout android studio automatically added an import to the source files:
import android.R
Of course the main R class has not all the symbols in your layouts, which made everything a red mess.
Removing that line solved for me.
EDIT:
Seems like eclipse had the same problem early on.
I sometimes get this after updating Android Studio. Not always straight away but after a while (perhaps after a restart of the program).
Here is what has worked for me: Tools - Android - Sync project with Gradle files.
For some reason just clicking the "Sync now" link that shows up after changing the build.gradle file has not done any change for me. Even though the messages says approximately the same thing.
I had the same problem because in my strings.xml I forgot to escape a apostrophe. Use " \' " never " ' " in xml file!
I had that same problem crop up, too (most recently while I was at lunch--came back and WTF?). And since this was a simple Hello, World program, there wasn't many places these errors could hide. The XML files looked fine--I hadn't even touched the manifest. A clean did nothing.
So I commented out a section of my layout.xml to try to narrow down the problem. Sure enough, the errors went away.
And then I simply UNcommented out exactly what I had commented...and everything was hunky-dory. Strange! Perhaps there was some lingering issues that needed to be touched in order to cause a rebuild of the layout file. You'd think basic stuff like that wouldn't happen these days, but they do.
One more thing! It's possible that something may happen to Java as well. It's very hard to know the status of the Java run-time environment; just easier to start again. So here's one more thing to try: restart your computer, restart Android Studio, AND THEN Invalidate Caches and Restart. Yep, the whole-hog.
When all else fails restarting android sometimes helps. During the start files are loaded afresh and this enables detection of the R
This problem occurs when you rename the package name.
After renaming the package name, you must change the older package
name to a newer one.
For me it solved the problem once I changed that.
After that, you might get errors in xml files, that you have to change
the package name there also.
That's it.
I just had the R problem and after a few hours found that the problem was my regional spelling as used in one of my xml files. The problem word was behaviour, which is spelled behavior by Americans.
I am Australian and we are taught ye olde English way of spelling certain words and so I looked past it a number of times before the penny dropped.
Its a small thing, but it can easily sneak up and bite you on the nether regions and is hard to spot and can waste a lot of time.
In my case I had just added some new image files to the drawable folder and accidentally put a GIF in there with my PNGs. I had not incorporated them into the project at all yet. I removed the GIF and then did a clean and rebuild. That fixed it for me.
I had this exact problem when importing a Udacity Example Program. The Message Pane in Android Studio said the error was failing to load a .PNG in a sub-directory deep in the Project Files.
Turns out the PNG with all of the sub-directory path names was greater than the name length limit defined by Windows 7 (260 characters). I gave the Project a shorter name - to free up some space - and then Android Studio happily compiled.
After you tried make project, clean project, rebuild project but still doesn't work.
Try restart Android studio
If I make a new Android project in Ecplipse and I try, to open one of the samples from android SDK, I have got an error, look like this:
R cannot be resolved
What can I do, to be able, to run these files? I tried to delete import android.R; but nothing changed.
Thanks
First thing you might try is "clean" your project (option in the menu). If it persists:
There should be an error that stops R from being generated. Check the "problems" tab (?) in eclipse to see what that problem is, and solve that. It could be missing libs, or various other stuff.
You possibly got error in building resources.
Possible fixes:
-refresh your project (F5)
-clean you project and refresh
-see "Console" tab, sometimes the problem is shown there
-reload the Android SDK
-restart the Eclipse IDE
Check your XML-Layout files. The problem come here half a time.
If you are sure it is note your layout file, check in your java build path if the google librarys are well set. (Google APIs)
