This might be a pretty basic question, or peculiar to my set up (hopefully not too peculiar)
I am new to android development and have been playing around with the tutorials offered at developer.android.com.
I don’t have a problem with projects I create from scratch, but when I start a project from the android sample code provided at android.com or from any other android project, I can never seem to get the bugs out to even run the thing.
For example, when loading up the NotePad sample in the android-7 package of samples –
from the error log I see:
Failed to load properties file com.android.ide.eclipse.adt
Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: “org.eclipse.jface”.
from the problems log I get:
error_message cannot be resolved or is not a field
menu_delete cannot be resolved or is not a field
menu_discard cannot be resolved or is not a field
text_edit cannot be resolved or is not a field
etc., didn’t want to list them all
It seems that it is not playing well with the strings.xml file in res/values
Have tried:
1. Importing anything missing w/ cmd,shft,O
2. Fixing properties from Android Tools
3. Project>>Clean…
4. Making sure that the SDK Versions all match up
5. Restarting and restarting
Nothing, still getting the error.
Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
would like a general solution, something more global bc this is occurring whenever I pull in anyone’s source code from outside.
kind of frustrated because I feel that I am spending too much time working out these kinks and not being able to study other people’s code against how it performs in the emulator.
I had similar issues and were related to the SDK version I was choosing when importing the samples. You have to pick the same version used to create the project. I believe it’s 1.5
