Question

This happens instantly when I make a new project in Eclipse.

I only have 1 jar file in the project, I have tried to remove it, and add it again, several times, and cleaned the project after this.

I have updated ProGuard (I think), downloaded the new version, and replaced the lib folder as the threads on here said.

My default.properties file looks like this:

# This file is automatically generated by Android Tools.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file must be checked in Version Control Systems.
#
# To customize properties used by the Ant build system use,
# "build.properties", and override values to adapt the script to your
# project structure.

# Project target.
target=android-8

So can’t comment anything about ProGuard which was also mentioned in another thread.
I feel I have tried everything, and still this bug.
One thing I have noticed though if I go to:
window -> preferences -> android -> build. And uncheck “Force error when external jars contain native libraries”. Then I get: “Can’t resolve R” instead of the Dalvik error.

There is no import named android.R either.

Anyone with some help please?

This doesn’t look like the issue with proguard, since it’s not even enabled in your defaults.properties file. Try the following:

1. Uncheck “Force error when external jars contain native libraries” option (just as you did)
2. Select “Project -> Clean…” from the menu
3. If that won’t help ensure you have the correct R class imported. As stated at source.android.com:
   

   Eclipse sometimes likes to add an import android.R statement at the
   top of your files that use resources, especially when you ask eclipse
   to sort or otherwise manage imports. This will cause your make to
   break. Look out for these erroneous import statements and delete them.

Have a look also at this thread: "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1" on external JAR.
