I'm having problems uninstalling Android Studio in Win10, I can't find the uninstall.exe file. I installed it, but I'm not going to use it, after all, so I went to Control Panel>Programs and Features, but when I tried from there it said it couldn't find the uninstall.exe and removed it from the list, I have the Android Studio folders in Program Files and all, but that's it.
I already removed the SDK from the user folder. All that's left is in Program Files. I tried reinstalling but only creates another installation folder under 'Android Studio1'.
Thanks in advance!

Flot2011's comment:
Go to C:\Users%username%, and delete .android,
.AndroidStudio(#version-number), .gradle and AndroidStudioProjects
directories if they exist. After that go to
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming and delete the JetBrains
directory.
Just follow Flot2011's directions and restart your PC, and Android Studio is no more on your computer.
This is what I did to resolve this exact issue:
Launch Android Studio.
Upgrade Android Studio to the latest version when prompted.
Delete C:\Program Files\Android\
Download the latest Android Studio installer.
Install the latest Android Studio. This will replace the files removed in step 3, and install a functioning uninstaller.
Run the uninstaller from the Settings app. Make sure to check the user preferences box so that it deletes the files in %userprofile%.
I prefer this approach to manually removing directories because the installers and updaters should get all of them and also address any registry changes that need to be made.
I recently installed android studio and wished to work on an eclipse project that is inside an svn server.
I successfully connected with android studio to svn and managed to check out my project.
however, many folder's are missing in the project.
java source files are there, but not the res folder , assets folder
(maybe others but these are the main two)
perhaps they are hidden? how can I retrieve them ?
thank you
You may have to select the "Project view" option from the dropdown. Please find it in the image.
I am facing a problem when I try to create new android project in eclipse adt plugin tools.
ERROR/EXCEPTION::
Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Android Resource Manager' on project 'test'.
java.lang.NullPointerException
I have faced this problem two times previously. Only solution was to re-install Windows operating system which actually did solve the problem. But I want a real solution without re-installing Windows.
Switching to a new workspace worked for me.
File-> Switch Workspace.
found a better solution. in the create project wizard. don't create an activity in the wizard. just untick create an activity and just create the activity manually in the manifest.
I guess you upgrade your java to java7u55.
because I am using mac, but, FYI
I solve this by edit eclipse.ini, force the ide to use java 1.6
-vm
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Commands/java
you could try the same.
In my case, the error was solved by changing the workspace folder permissions with chmod 777.
I am using Mac OS X and downloaded the ADT bundle for Mac.
If you close eclipse and then look in your system processes and still see adb running, then that's the problem - it crashed. In my case it was because I have extension files for other programs in my JRE that the adb doesn't seem to like. Remove all your ext files, force shut down your adb.exe and then restart eclipse.
Root exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Priority
Usually this means that they have one more time introduced a bug.
The "magic passes" that may help or not help are:
Pressing F5 (refresh)
Updating Android, Eclipse and ADT (knowing that you do have such a problem, I myself definitely will not do any such updates in the near future)
Creating a project from the command line, building it and trying to import
If you have any project that already works, you may try to take files from that project.
Read the logs, they are usually more informative than just the last 30 lines, but on Windows you will have to either configure the screen buffer height to be about 300-600, or redirect the output to a file.
Clean and build again.
You usually get this after an SDK/ADT update.
Go to your SDK manager and ensure that there are no updates. Then in Eclipse go to Help > Check for Updates and install any updates it finds.
Restart eclipse and hopefully it should all work.
Failing that uninstall Eclipse and re-install Eclipse and the plugins again should fix it as well, no need to re-install your whole PC.
I use maven to build and integrate android projects with jenkins/netbeans. For editing android resources, I often use Eclipse because of the ADT plugin and better android resources support.
Eclipse (Kepler) has serious problems when you import maven-based android projects. It expects the project.properties file in the root folder and will NOT generate it on its own no matter what. Example content:
# this file is needed by eclipse (adt plugin).
# Project target.
target=Google Inc.:Google APIs x86:19
Additionally, create a sym link called "gen" pointing to target/generated-sources/r if using maven to build the android project on the command line. That way, you should be able to do "File->Import...->Existing Android Project". You get an error message, but it didn't matter in my case.
Additional hints in case you have problems with m2e-android plugin:
always check that the output folders for source dirs and resource dirs are correct.
check that source dirs are set as source dirs (you usually get a corresponding warning)
if resources from dependencies are not included in the final apk, check the filter settings for your resource dirs
you may need to "import maven project from existing sources" before importing it as android project from existing sources.
make sure dependencies are imported into the workspace and open and referenced (project props -> android -> add lib)
eclipse adt does not support aar libs, use apklib instead
It can happen if you are changing the location of files that your
eclipse project uses.
In that case you can copy the files directly to your resources folder inside the workspace instead of linking them with "import"
These simple steps put me out of this trouble -
In Eclipse, Help menu -> Check for Updates.
Select all Android related plugins.
Click Next, Accept the agreement page then proceed to install the
plugin.
Make sure your java path points to the java SDK bin directory.. make sure you have installed the latest JDK t be safe..
You can also try one of these:
Close and open the project in Eclipse
Click right on the project and choose: Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties
I beat my head against a wall for a day because of the same problem. My solution (OS X): I had a stale "java_home" definition in my profile pointing to a dead symlink, as well as old classes in /Library/Java/Extensions. I removed the definition and symlink, along with two classes in Extensions (ActiveMQ and Geronimo, FWIW) and the problem went away. Not sure which step was the actual "rectifier" but if any of those conditions apply, you might want to check them.
I faced same problem on my New Macbook Pro so I just Downloaded JDK and installed it and problem fixed.
I was experiencing the same issue - I refreshed and updated Eclipse and Android plugins and was still seeing the NPE. What worked for me was changing the order of operations.
In order:
1. update Eclipse & Android plugins
2. after the update has completed, perform the F5 Refresh in the current workspace
Make a copy of your project in Explorer/Finder. Delete the project in ADT/Eclipse. Import the project again using Eclipse. Project/Clean then build. This works for me.
I have tried every solution I found on the web and they did not work.Then I remember java version on my Mac was 1.7 and I have installed subversion version 1.6 and the problem occured after that installation.Also I have deleted eclipse and used a clean eclipse and Android sdk installation I still got the problem, then I uninstalled the JDK 7 as it is told in here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html and my problem is solved.
I have several projects in my folder. Every time I start a new one I close the others. I got this error because appcompat_v7 was closed.
Right click on appcompat_v7 and select Open Project.
This solved my problem.
Solved after changing a setting in eclipse.ini. I am using OS X 10.11.4 and Eclipse Mars 4.5.2.
Go to the folder of Eclipse.app in Finder.
Right click to open a menu, and click Show Package Contents.
Go to /Contents/Eclipse.
Open eclipse.ini in your favorite text editor.
change -vm path like below:
BEFORE: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_79.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin
AFTER: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_73.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin
reopen Eclipse.
enjoy :D
I am having a weird problem with Eclipse.
Some days back, I completed a project with the name IntelligentAlarm, and then pushed it to github. I was using Eclipse Indigo then. After that I formatted the system, and downloaded Eclipse Juno. I cloned this repository from github, and imported this project into Eclipse as an android application.
But now, I am unable to run it as an android application. The option which allows you to run it as an android application is missing. Neither can I create a new Run Configuration for this project, as I don't see this project in Browse window.
I should add that I am able to run newly created android projects.
What should I do ?
If you formatted your hard disk your workspace is gone. This means you have to import your cloned project into Eclipse (Import existing Android project into workspace). This adds your project to the newly created workspace. After that, if will be shown in your IDE as usual.
It might be that you have still some things to do, for instance downloading the SDK platforms and creating an emulator.
After this you should be able to run your program as an Android project.
I would re-do the android app setup configuration in Eclipse again and see if the
Run > As an Android App
option comes back.
Setup Eclipse form scratch to enable Android Development Environment. enter link description here
Then create new project from your existing code. Since you exisitng eclipse project will have the properly files it will enable any old properties.
Hope you have your old workspace.
Quick Solution: *You can try deleting the .metadata folder under workspace folder which can recreate the .metadata folder for you when restart the eclipse*
I'm having some beginner problems to start using version control on my project. My app is already working, I've installed subversive and did the following:
1- Checked out my project to server - OK.
2- At another pc, added new repository location - OK.
I can see the project tree in SVN Repositories perspective, with all files, but when I try to run it, what appears in the emulator is the local version of the project, and not the SVN one.
I've tried Run > Run Configurations > New Launch Configurations, but the SVN repository doesn't appears in Basic settings > Browse Project...
In repository I can see, but not edit, .classpath and .project files.
Any idea of what's happening? Thanks.
You should be downloading your project from SVN into a folder somewhere on your PC. You need to add that project to Eclipse, or refresh if you downloaded it to an existing project folder, and then rebuild the project in Eclipse.
