I just started in android so do not have any clue, any small help also would be appreciated

I finally figured out the problem.
There’s an error in the sourcecode of frameworks/base/include/utils/KeyedVector.h:193

Some of the member functions require Scope resolution operator “this->” to build the android source on MAC OS X Lion with xcode 4.3.x and on gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10).
Without scope resolution operator compiler will not be able to identify the existence of the function.

Open frameworks/base/include/utils/KeyedVector.h

Change the line 193 from:

ssize_t i = indexOfKey(key);

to

ssize_t i = this->indexOfKey(key);

and Android 4.0.1 compiles.
