I just downloaded the Android SDK and the plugin but when I try to create a project it automatically makes a library for the support and my project that I created has errors. Here is what I mean:
This is after I clean up the projects [Project -> Clean]
Additionally, R does not work (even when I import it) :
This is all with a clean project. I would appreciate it if you could help me.
Note: I know there are similar questions out there, but I could not get it working.
I think I need to import the appcompat package again, but I do not know where to locate it.
The error the container "Android Dependencies references non existing library" probably means your build path isn't pointing to any jar file. I recommend checking your build path:
Right click and choose 'build path'
Click on 'Android'. Make sure app_compact appears under the library target. If it does not click 'add' under library to add it.

I'm fairly new to Intellij and Java and am unable to use libraries from one "module" in another. I am seeing red class names and getting "Cannot resolve symbol ..." errors all over the place:
The other modules are referenced in File | Project Structure all the other module's Paths are correct and include the *.classes I'm trying to use:
I have also tried a File | Invalidate Caches but am still having the same problems.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Listed below are steps which may fix the problem:
1.Invalidate and refresh the IntelliJ's caches
File Menu -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and restart
2.Project SDK selection
Check project settings from File Menu -> Project Structure
Ensure an SDK is selected for the Project SDK. If is selected, click the 'New' button, select JDK and then select the correct path to the JDK e.g. /opt/java/jdk1.8 or c:\Java\Jdk1.8
3.Corrupt JDK
There may be a problem with your JDK installation, re-install JDK
4.Re-import the project
Close the project if it is open in IntelliJ
Delete the .idea folder in the project source code folder.
Start IntelliJ and Import the project.
You can choose any of them which will work for you.
I faced a similar problem for no reason, I think it was caused by IDE(android studio). I have tried all of the above solutions but not worked. Finally, in my own situation, I solved this problem by the following actions:
Delete your .idea folder in your local project.
Reopen this project and just let Gradle run itself.
It was worked for me. I hope that my experience will be useful for you.
You need to add your external libraries/classes under dependencies in order for IDEA to see them when doing code analysis/autocomplete.
You can go to "File->Project Structure"
From "Project Settings", Select "Project" tab and there make sure that "Project SDK" has proper JDK selection.
After you add dependencies to POM file, make it a habit to refresh POM by clicking on the 'Reimports maven projects' icon. Its the first icon in the maven tool window located to the right of the main intellij editor. Its a blue icon with 2 circular arrows. Clicking it ensures that the added dependencies are fully integrated into your project
Run it from the project's root folder.
$ mvn -U idea:idea
One more advise would be to make sure that you import the project properly. If it's a maven project, import pom.xml and if it's a gradle project, import gradle.build file to make sure that all the dependencies are downloaded correctly.
Just got this.
Just went there.
Invalidated the cache.
Seemed to work until I wrote further lines.
Then noticed that I was writing my code outside of the main() function.
Moved the ending curly bracket further and voila.
I am importing the following project : ActionBarCompat-Basic from the Android Developers website into Eclipse.
by doing so: File -> Import => Android existing project.
However, in my package explorer, it creates me two projects :
1) The first project is named MainActivity
2) The second project is named tests.
Also, the two projects both have errors
Is that normal ? If yes, how can I solve the errors issue ?
Note, because you do not say wich project you are importing, this a blind answer.
You get two project simply because in the downloaded folder are two project.
To resolve errors first of all try to do a clean Project=>Clean... and select the projects you want to clean.
Unfortunately errors are common when you import project coming from around the web.
You should right click those projects, open Properties and check the Android tab, check if you are missing some library and try to figure out wich library is (or are).
Check Android 4.4.2 as build target.
Open the Java Build Path tab and open the Source tab, check if the gen and src folders are there, if not, add them.
If error are still there open the files marked with the error icon and try to figure out wich library they miss.
Check the Eclipse error Log.
I hope this help.
I think the title is very clear. Sometimes I have some build errors, and in the Libraries tab of Java Build Path, I add/remove libraries, etc ... but when I delete the Android X.X "folder", I can't bring it back. What I do is to delete the project from the Workspace and Import it again as Existing Android Project.
Is there a way to add it directly without deleting-importing a project?
How does eclipse generate it? for what purpose? Why if missing eclipse doesn't show errors before building?
Please help me understand all these!
Yes you can do that without removing the project and importing it back.
Right Click your Project-> Java Build Path->Add Library->Android Classpath Container->Choose your Project->Ok
You will your Android X.X back.
Hope it helps.
When you delete your project click on the check box which says Delete projects content on disk and then import your project and to add library go to properties->java build path->order and export and check your library
I am a computer science student learning Java, so I do some work at home and at college on a mixture of Linux and Windows. I have a problem after copying a new project into the Eclipse workspace. The project shows up, but with a red exclamation mark and an error saying:
The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved
How can I fix this? I tried the solution described here, but it didn't work.
Identify "project navigator" or "package explorer" view.
Right click on your project, select Build Path --> Configure build Path.
In the emerging window, you will find four tabs, select "Libraries".There, under "Web app libraries" (expand it), you will see the libraries added to the project's classpath. Check if all of them are available. If one or more are not (they'll have "missing" beside their name and a red mark on their icon), check if you need them (perhaps you don't); if you don't need them, remove it, if you need them, exit this window, look out for the missing jar and IMPORT it into your project.
Open the Problems view. You can open this view by clicking on the small + sign at the left hand bottom corner of eclipse. It's a very tiny plus with a rectangle around it. Click on it and select problems.
The problem view will show you the problems that need to be resolved.
If the message says "the project is missing the required libraries...", you need to configure your build path by right clicking on your project, selecting properties, then build path. Add the required jar files using the libraries tab.
-If there are other problems other than missing libraries, you need to post the exact problems here to get a precise solution.
If you can't find the build path error, sometimes menu Project → Clean... works like a charm.
In my case, all libraries in the build path were OK.
To solve it, I deleted all project metadata (.project, .classpath, .settings) and re-imported the project as a Maven project.
Right click your Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries
Remove the file with red "X" (something like JRE...)
Add Library
That's how I solved my problem.
I also had this problem in my system, but after looking inside the project I saw the XML structure of the .classpath file in the project path was incorrect. After amending that file the problem was solved.
If not working in any case...then delete your project from the Eclipse workspace and again import as a Maven project if that is a Maven project. Else import as an existing project.
I tried all the previous given solutions, but they didn't work, but it works for me.
In Eclipse, go to Build Path, click "Add Library", select JRE System Library, click "Next", select option "Workspace default JRE(i)", and click "Finish".
This worked for me.
Go to Project > Properties > Java Compiler > Building
Look under Build Path Problems
Un-check "Abort build when build path error occurs"
It won't solve all your errors but at least it will let you run your program :)
Is it possible to import an existing Java project which is in my workspace, in an Android project which is also in my workspace? The Java project doesn't use stuff that is incompatible with Android. I could do it using a .JAR, but since I'm modifying the Java project a lot, I would like to import the whole source code and change it once in a while. Is it possible? Thanks
This is somewhat of a hack, but worked for my project:
Add both Android project and plain Java project to workspace
Go to properties for Android project -> Java Build Path -> Source
Click Link Source, in "Folder name", make sure to select the root directory of the plain Java project's src tree
Use a descriptive name for "Linked folder location", like "java_project_src".
Press Finish and compile
This setup will compile the plain-java code as Dalvik bytecode. In my case, I had pure java code with very limited dependencies, but wanted to share the pure java code with non-Android projects, instead of separately maintaining these files in every project.
I think you are talking about referencing other projects into the current project, if this is the case then you can do this by Right click on project, properties->Project Reference.
You can link another projects to your current project. Right click on your main project, choose Build Path -> Configure Build Path... In the dialog choose the Projects tab, then click Add.. button. Now choose the project you want to link and click OK. You'll now be able to use this project's sources inside your main project. Hope this helps.
