I stumbled across something I can’t figure out myself.

I have an android project with a reference to a library project. Now, the weird thing is that it seems like my default.properties file is no longer needed. Android creates a project.properties file. So my questions is: what is the difference between the two? Isn’t a project.properties file standard java and default.properties android specific? What do they do exactly?

    I believe you’ve got an issue where (some of) your project files have become obsolete after an update to a newer Android SDK.

    Run this command in your project directory (you’ll need to have ${ANDROID_HOME}/tools in your path):

    android update project -p .
    

    It will output something similar to (As of SDK 15):

    • Updated and renamed default.properties to project.properties
    • Updated local.properties
    • No project name specified, using Activity name ‘MainActivity’. If you wish to change it, edit the first line of build.xml.
    • Added file ./build.xml
    • Updated file ./proguard.cfg

    My guess is that the Android team decided to become more standardized and to do away with their own deviations from standards.
