Since I updated two days ago my Android SDK to version API 14 I’m getting troubles using Eclipse Helios on my Windows 7 x64 laptop.
When I try to export a project everything is ok until I get to press the “finish” button: then a popup appears saying “aapt.exe has stopped working” and I can’t get my signed apk; the project doesn’t return errors and compiles as usual.
I googled to find a solution but nothing of the solutions i found worked:
- I cleaned the project (Project>Clean)
- I disabled the automatic build (Project>Build Automatically)
- I deleted all the imported libraries (Right click on the project>Properties>Java Build Path)
- I updated all the related software (Help>Check for updates)
- I put logcat mode on verbose
- I deleted my .9.png drawables and readded to my project
These are all the solutions I found related to aapt.exe issues. Do you have any other suggestion?
PS: I’m also getting a layout issue with all my .9.png files that are not displayed correctly, but I don’t know if it’s related.
I found a solution in Window>Preferences>Android>Build by setting “Build output” on Normal and then Project>Clean>Clean All.
I don’t know if this is the definitive solution but it made me able to export my apk with the proper .9.png drawable layout.
Hope it helps.
