Getting error on every newly created project - android

Whenever I create a new project in Eclipse for some Android application it gives me a red cross sign and on compiling shows following errors:
error generating final archive: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\..\bin\resources.ap_ does not exist
Unparsed aapt error(s)! Check the console for output.
On Googling I found that by cleaning the project we can remove this error but it is not working in my case.
Earlier I was able to create Project in Eclipse. All this problem started after installing some Google APIs but I guess they are not cause of problem, something else is there.

Could it be an issue with a command path?
SDK doesnt like being installed in dirs with long names like "Program Files\Google\Android..."
If thats the case, youll need to adjust path appropriately (C:\Progra~2... or smth like this)

Error in Eclipse when trying to export apk

I'm trying to export my game apk for publishing to the store, but then I get an error saying 'compilation issues', how do i fix this? I've tried everything, it still doesnt get fixed, and when i go to my project theres a red x over my project, i'm guessing this might be the error, please refer to the screenshot

Follow the Steps :
1.Remove Automatic build selection
2.Clean your project
3.Build the project
4.Export the apk
First fix your project's error then you can export it.
Fix your project code(Make sure that don't present any error) that gives compilation error.
Clean your project
Then export for publish your app..
Well, unsurprisingly this means the compiler runs into problems when compiling the release apk. These errors should appear in either the 'Problems' view or one of the consoles (you may need to switch between them). Finding those will help track the actual problem down.
Also, since you mentioned changing package names you may want to check my answer here: Serializing CDT Project settings has encountered a. I'm fairly certain that changing the package name for my project was what caused Eclipse to corrupt my project configuration back then.

Phonegap - Hello Cordova error

I followed the first tutorial of Phonegap - getting started with Android. I wrote the example "HelloCordova" as showed here. But when I click "run as Android application" Eclipse displays your project contains error(s), please fix them before running your applications. No error is pointed! I can't understand where's the problem (my file matches the example)!
Problems:
Error generating final archive: Debug Certificate expired on 07/04/12 0.34
Location: Unknown
Type: Android Packaging Problem
Any advice? Thanks!
This problem is not related with Phonegap ...
You should delete the debug file at "%USERPROFILE%/.android/debug.keystore", so then eclipse will gerenate a new debug file
Check the android manifest file for any errors. Even the manifest file must be free of errors. You may have overlooked it as it is the last third file. Check with that for errors.

Type Error - generating final archive: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 13 , Type: Android packaging problem

I have a weird problem. I have installed windows 7 on my machine.
For android installation i have downloaded the latest android sdk, installed plugins, set the paths and all... as i have done it several times....
But when i create a new sample project and compile it it shows red cross on the project in Package explorer and i am not able to run the program.(I have compiled the project successfully and it is not the R.java file error... :-) )
In the Problem window it shows on error and that is
Type Error - generating final archive: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 13 , Type: Android packaging problem.
Struggling with this for last one week and getting more and more frustrated.
I will very thankful if some solve my prol
Do a Project->Clean in Eclipse, see if that'll help out.
I have found this bug in my system to
and got puzzeled and ask question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18045984/eclipse-pacakge-error-found-no-solutions
But At last i got the soulution
that worked for me
First change laguage from hindi(or some thing) to English
delete the debug key (Can be found on my doucument and folder named ".android")
and do
"eclipse.exe -clean" from command promp
this will generate a dubug keystore and project runs normally.

Android error not visible

When I attempt to run my Android application I get the following message:
your project contains error(s), please fix them before running your application
All I did was to clean the application and everything went wrong.
Normally, you would see a red asterisk against the offending file and the corresponding line with the error. But in this case I get no such indication.
Screenshots:
Sounds like you have a syntax error in one of your XML files, or an invalid file name.
When you do a clean it deletes certain files, it would then automatically build, if you have syntax errors the R.java file won't be generated and you will have the above error.
you can check in android console(window->show view->console),it will give some more information,check it once,check your build path if your are import your project somewhere else and the project uses 3rd party libraries or you may have problems with your XML resources.
Found the source of my mysterious error.
It turns out it was a imported java class I had forgotten about which I wasn't using and caused the error to showup when I "cleaned" the project.
I visited the build path where I saw it had an associated error. I removed it and all was well.

Android Packaging Problem: resources.ap_ does not exist

I am trying to fix a problem in Eclipse for like 3 hours and I haven't made any progress. Tomorrow is the customer coming to look at my app, and I have no time left. This is really frustrating!
This morning when I was coding and I wanted to run my app on my device Eclipse crashed all of a sudden. 'aapt.exe has stopped working'
After this Eclipse wasn't starting anymore. It froze at the splash image.
I looked on the internet and tried different solutions like going back to Java SE 6 update 20, changing .ini file etc. in the end reinstalling Eclipse did the job.
Shortly after that the 'aapt.exe has stopped working' returned. I found a solution by changing my projects target. 1.5, 1.6, 2.2 doesn't matter, as long as it's different than the one before.
Now I get the Error generating final archive: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\xxx\bin\resources.ap_ does not exist error.
I tried clean but that doesn't work. Deleting and automatically regenarting R.java also didn't work.
I ran the same code in Netbeans with the Android plugin and there it gives me the 'aapt.exe has stopped working' again :(
Please guys, how can I fix this?
Edit:
I think I may have found the reason. These are the error lines in the console:

[2011-01-17 16:37:20 - gegevens.xml] Unable to resolve drawable "com.android.layoutlib.utils.ResourceValue#267e33de" in attribute "background"
The file it's talking about is 'bg.png'. It's a small png file which I repeat in a .xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="#drawable/bg" android:tileMode="repeat" />
This file has worked from the first time without any problems.
I deleted it from the drawable folder, waited for an error message, and then added it back. The red x next to the foldername got away, but still nothing different...
A shot in the dark, but if it's just the one PNG file could you delete it from the project and add it back? There must be something breaking the resources file.
I just encountered the same error after performing an SDK update withing Eclipse (Indigo). Normally I would either delete the errors and try to rebuild or clean with success, however this time it didn't fix the problem.
Finally I went to the android sdk folder and manually updated. Upon coming back into eclipse I got the error again, but without rebuilding or cleaning I was able to launch the application onto the device by pressing play for a second time.
EDIT:Apparently this problem is intermittent, as I am now once again unable to run on the device, or export the signed apk.
SOLVED: The problem stems from a corruption in the .metadata folder. I discovered this by re-installing Indigo, but when doing so I didn't remove the original workspace folder. The problem of course showed up again. I deleted the .metadata folder completely, which effectively resets all of your eclipse configuration settings. All deployments and signing work flawlessly now. Just had to setup the environment to my liking again, which takes a few minutes as opposed to the hours I spent troubleshooting this.
I just ran into this same problem after importing my project from another machine, but didn't have any errors in the console like the OP. I unchecked Project->Build Automatically and then did Project->Clean and this solved my problem. I was actually missing several files in the bin/ directory for my project and this fixed them all.
I think this error can come up for a variety of reasons. The following solution is only known to be specific to the same error message appearing when using ADT 14 (released yesterday) with build output set to Verbose:
I ran into the same error using Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) after upgrading to ADT 14 and SDK 14 on all projects including newly created ones. I found a workaround someone posted on the ADT bug tracker, which is basically to switch Eclipse Settings->Android->Build->Build Output from "Verbose" to "Normal". The post is here.
In my scenario, yesterday upon open Eclipse was trying to download updates and I cancelled it since I was using my cellphone hotspot. I tried the metadata folder delete solution mentioned here and didn't work for me. Going to Window->SDK Manager and updating everything seems to be my solution.
I had the same issue in that I added some images into each resource directory and unfortunately named them .png. There were in fact jpegs and the eclipse plugin was flagging this (unbeknown to me in the console)
The issue I found was that if you clear the console then the logging info is lost and it doesn't log anything again!
Changing the extension from .png to .jpg fixed my issue
Above solution didn't worked for me.
The way I did that is updating not only ADT but SDK as well. To do that just go to Android SDK Manager and just download updates.
IT WORKS!
It's very meaningless but changing build mode from verbose to silent did the trick! Nothing else (cleaning project, re-opening , re-installing) did.
Try running clean, but also uncheck build automatically and click "build project" under the "Project" menu. Once you build manually, you can re-check the "build automatically".
I would also shutdown eclispe, and then kill adb
> adb kill-server
Sometimes this error happens when you create ninepatch with wrong black dots/lines. For example right and bottom lines must be solid with no dashes or empty regions.
Try in
windows-> peferences -> android -> Build -> Build Output
Silent

In some cases, this error will disappear after fixing upstream errors. In my case that was a version incompatibility in 'fullwebview.xml'.
There, 'layout_width'/height was set to a value not supported in my build target, 2.1. Changing the value to 'fill_parent' solved the issue.
I encountered this same error but then I saw that my layout.xml was not catching an error for a TextView whose android:text="#string/my_unmapped_string string resource was not mapped in strings.xml. So when I viewed the graphical layout it was showing:
Couldn't resolve .....
When I mapped the resource properly and ran the project again, it worked fine and that bin\resources.ap_ does not exist error was gone :)
In my case, it was the file add-icon.175x175-75.png (valid file name, but invalid resource name) copied into res/drawable by mistake. After removing this file, Eclipse did (in April 2015) a few successful builds with incorrect sources, and only then began to behave sensibly, showing me missing resources and malformed XML (I changed the layout).
