I'm on Eclipse for hours now and I didn't found a solution yet for my problem even after many searches on internet: I have no more R.java file on my projects.
On just created or on my old projects, i don't have R file anymore and I tried so many solutions (uninstall, re-install Eclipse, clean my project, check all my XMLs, fix problem with android tool and so on ...)
Please someone can tell me what to do in this case?
Hey If you just updated to ADT Rev 22 :
I had the problem too. There is a new component in the Tools folder called "Android SDK Build-tools" that needs to be installed.
Step 1
Open the Android SDK Manager
Step 2
Select the newly added Build Tools and install. (If problem stays then go to Project Properties => Java Build Path => Order and Export and check Android Private Libraries, then clean and build project.
It may be necessary to repeat the process, restart the SDK Manager after the update and make sure it looks like this (all tools installed):
More info:https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-developers/rCaeT3qckoE%5B1-25-false%5D
Perhaps in Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries you don't have:
Android 4.2.2 (or other version)
Android Dependencies ?
If so, then right click project - > Android tools -> fix android properties
and see if this library showed up.
Thank you all for saving me! I've spent the whole afternoon on search this error.
Finally, my project works.
By the way, I also encountered one problem which i wanna share with you:
After upgrading, even if my project has not errors anymore. During runtime, it seems it couldn't find the classes from the jars placed in \libs.
Go into Project=>properties => Java build path= > Order and Export.
Please make sure all your jars are checked.
If this problem occurs suddenly in a well working project,
the first step is to find whether the problem occurs only in the current project or in all other projects.
if all other projects in the current workspace are working then 90% problem is with XML / mainfestfile/resourse file that you edited recently.
This error is not shown as red mark we have to find out what we have done recently in these files.
try this
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 lib32z1-dev
it solved my problem
Close your eclipse and after refreshing system, try to open Eclipse again. I think you are using Emulator along with the eclipse. It may be because of the low Memory problem (RAM) of your system. I used to face the same problem when I use Emulator
whenever there is any mistakes in any of the xmls the R goes missing when a build or clean happens so check for any xml errors in your project unless you fix it you cant get back your R on clean or build. fix the xml files and perform a clean you will have the R generated. Also check in File->properties->Builders and see if everything is checked
I was using Eclipse Indigo and nothing I tried worked. I ended up downloading Juno SR2, reinstalling the ADT, and now everything works again.
Reinstall everything and it'll work.. i.e. go back to Google SDK or w.e. you're using and download it.
Update it to latest in SDK Manager.
Go into Eclipse-Project-Prefs-Java build path-order/export TICK EVERYTHING.
problem: No R file get generated.
guess: Try cleaning project if it is old one. Else create new project with no R get generated and with no compile errors but this: no project.apk
In this case you have to check your SDK for the built-tools. May not be installed after updating SDK.
Thus download them if not download here, then put them under directory: SDK/built-tools folder. Lastly, and most important, is to Run the SDK As Administrator. This guarantees refreshing SDK with all packages appearing in it.
Install the SDK-Built-Tools or any missing packages according to the above link and you're done.
hope this helps.
Try one thing, create a new Android Project and transfer all those files which are in the previous project. That worked for me.
In my case there is error due to "&" inside strings.xml file(but error not shown) for declaring string for a array type. Now the problem has been solved as I changed "&" to "and".
So, please make sure that you do not have such silly use of symbols, and clean the project.
I have had the same kind of problem, however Rechecking all XML files in the Resources folder was helpful in my case. I found syntax error in my XML files. Cleaning and building the project again can be helpful sometimes too.
I had the dreaded not more R.java.
Some of the things I've used in the past:
Clean / rebuild (the first thing we all try)
Restart eclipse (optionally reboot pc/mac)
Update both SDK/ADT eclipse plugin to latest version
Create new eclipse workspace and import project
Enable Verbose AAPT build output Eclipse menu>Preferences>Android>Build
Port project to Android Studio / Gradle (this helped my actually see the AAPT error i was getting Error Code:138)
Delete recent XML changes - Ultimately I found deleting recent menu.xml files I'd added and commenting out where they were referenced fixed the issue and I finally got R.java.
I got the error recently and had found no fault in any layout or value file. After a lot of tries I add another Activity and the R.java was build and the error disappeared. I don't know why this occur, but it takes me hours.
I have an Android project on Eclipse (STS) and it is giving me this error last time I tried to compile:
The project was not built due to "SVN: '0x00000119: Delete' operation finished with error". Fix the problem, then try refreshing this project and building it since it may be inconsistent
Google was not very helpful.. Only 9 hits
I had the same problem, I disconnected and connected the project from the SVN.
In the project, right click, TEAM>Disconnect and the problem was solved
I would discard your current project and rebuild the project files again, importing the codebase :(
Update:
JohnEye recommends trying an svn cleanup first and this may solve your issue. If not, see above.
I may have just found the answer. It is surprisingly simple, assuming you are using linux, navigate to the project directory (cd ~/workspace/myProject) and run svn cleanup
Solved the problem for me.
Edit: Just happened to me again and my solution worked as expected, so it probably was not just a random fluke.
Had same issue. The work-around was to disconnect the project from SVN (Team->Disconnect) (note: please make sure you don't delete .svn) and refresh the project. Your are back on track, and you can reconnect to SVN once again.
Deleting the project and re-checking out has worked for a couple of hours, but then the problem returned (maybe I deleted stuff again or whatever). There's a bug track here: http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SVNKIT-77
SVN is a wonderful tool, if used correctly. Unfortunately when we use SVN incorrect, we run into such crazy issues.
The best way to fix issues like this,
Checkout Project again
Use meld and copy "ONLY" files, NOT "directories" from workspace to checkout folder.
If you copy folders, you will also end up copying .svn hidden folders and you will be in the same mess again. So create the folders manually.
One more, DONT waste your time trying to find ways to fix your svn issues. Just use the 2 step process above.
I was encountering the same issue after importing the project from bitbucket repo. What worked for me was to disconnect the project and connect it again.
1. Team->disconnect.
2. Team->share project->Git->Use or create repository in parent folder->finish
I'm getting this error more and more, and it's getting stickier, harder to flush out. Often, refreshing the project in the explorer view (but not doing the trick now), or poking around with some other things, clears it out. But, I would like to have some definitive way to fix this or to know why this happening and fix the fundamental problem.
The message from the console in red:
[2011-05-15 00:25:13 - ] ERROR: Unable to open class file \R.java: No such file or directory
Thanks,
Not sure if this is the right way to do this, but this question is essentially a duplicate of this one, with a chock full of helpful suggestions.
Strange... thought I set that correctly a while ago... but here it is again
Not sure if this is your problem, but sometimes eclipse freaks on me and Project -> Clean... does the trick.
I'm building an Android app.
I worked today on my app, and suddenly I saw that all the projects in the workspace are marked with an error. I don't know what caused it, and I can't find explanation of the error anywhere.
I'm using Helios with Windows 7. I even tried downloading Eclipse again but it didn't help.
Today I tried to integrate Facebook with my app. Their tutorial required me to try to get a hesh key from a keystore. In the process I added an Environment Variable named JAVA_HOME, and pointed it to the JDK.
I don't know if it's the cause of my problem, but I think it might be related.
I really don't know what to do.
Thanks!
Try this. In eclipse, go to Project --> Clean --> Select "clean all projects". This should rebuild all projects.
Try cleaning your android project. I get problems with Eclipse sometime, and if I clean the project, it fixes it.
Find the "Problems" view. That will give you more details. Post the description of the problems, we can get more information.
click Window -> Show View -> Problems
Typically, the problem is with a resource you've recently added to your project (drawable, assets, raw, etc.)
Some things to check are:
Invalid XML files
Invalid 9-patch images (outer 1-pixel border must be full black or transparent)
Typically, just start by removing a resource, then cleaning your project (Project > Clean). If the errors go away, that resource is your problem. If not, continue this process until the error DOES go away. Start with the most recent resources you've added, naturally.
i solved error or all project showing errors this way.... close eclipse.
then Right Click on eclipse shortcut-->open file location-->open command widows there and type "eclipse.exe -clean" eclipse the starts..and in my case errors were gone...hope it helps
I'm using Eclipse for Java development. All my sources compile fine and the resulting application compiles fine. However, I keep getting an "red-x" error notification in the Package Explorer.
All my sources in this source directory (too long for the snapshot) compile fine, none of the show the "red-x" error icon.
Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be highly appreciated.
yeah, this happens sometimes for no apparent reason. You can go to the "Problems"-Tab (right next to console output) and see the error message, so maybe you can narrow it down that way.
This happens often when I use Maven, and I had always ignored it until I found this question. You need to update the project in this case (figured this out by looking in the Problems pane)
From the project context menu: Maven -> Update Project and select the available maven codebases
Alternatively you can use (Alt + F5) to bring up the same window
Try to clean the project and rebuild it.
After build. Refresh project and if still persist just right click Problems tab in eclipse and choose delete all.
It often happens if you do maven install and eclipse properties files do not get updated properly. Even though your project does not have any errors. Hopefully!
I want to start by thanking everyone that answered. But cleaning and rebuilding was not enough in my case because the problem was still there and needed fixing.
Turned out that one of my package directories had accidentally been copied so that an extra directory now existed called "Copy of dagskra" containing Java files with wrong package declarations. In addition the errors in this "new" directory don't show up with a "red-x" in the package that it exists in:
Snapshot from Package Explorer showing errorous "Copy of dagskra" directoryr http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a824304b18.png
It was the hint of reading the "Problems" tab :-) that turned me into the right direction, so I'm selecting that answer as the accepted answer because this is what I needed:
Snapshot from Problems tab http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/dea26d5dd0.png
Hoping this will help others...
So upon finding that there could be a missing package in the buildpath, thus the red x against the main project, to remove this:
1) go into "Configure Buildpath" of project
2) Java Build Path -> Source Tab - you should see the red x against the missing package/file. if it no longer exists, just "remove" it.
red X begone! :)
Sometimes there are build path errors in .project, and you need to switch to Resource view to actually see the file that is causing the error.
As others have said, bad file references in the build path is often the culprit.
Usually a .jar file that has been moved/deleted. Eclipse expects to find everything referenced on the build path at the location specified, and will complain if not.
I had the same issue and below steps resolved the issue:
Delete the JRE from PROJECT> properties>java build path> libraries.
Restart the eclipse
Add the JRE again
Rebuild the project using Project>Clean and chose option to build automatically.
Please try.
Subversion is occasionally the culprit for this as well. It might not have anything to do with your environment. But, there might be a discrepancy between the current and local state of the project. In my case, doing an update, and then a commit to the subversion server provided me with the expected clean result without any flags in the project such as the X.
In my case what solved this problem was simply to Close Eclipse and opening it again...However I am still not sure why this happened or why it worked. I was having problems Cleaning my project (it said it could not Delete certain file) and this solved it :):
Try doing a rebuild. I've found that the red x's don't always disappear until a rebuild is done.
I've run into a similar problem many a time, what happens usually for me is that a java file will say it won't compile in the text editor but in the package explorer it will say it's compiling fine.
Sometimes doing a 'rebuild' or 'clean-build' doesn't work, the files don't actually get built (one has to presume that eclipse thinks the files it has are up to date) and when this happens I usually open up the java build path and just move one of my dependencies down/up the pecking order. This forces eclipse to do a rebuild of everything and it always seems to work.
If you're still having problems try copying the project and seeing if you get the same behaviour and at a last ditch attempt post a bug for eclipse, it may take a while for them to fix but at least you know that you're being heard.
To add to the previous answer, an extreme way of "cleaning" your project is to delete it (that is deleting its reference from the workspace, not deleting the actual files), and then re-import it.
Sometimes, it helps...
FindBugs also puts a red-x against files/packages to indicate static code analysis errors.
I have run through this. My case was more involved. The project was packaged fine from maven command line.
Couple of things I made.
1. One class has many imports that confused eclipse. Cleaning them fixed part of the problem
2. One case was about a Setter, pressing F3 navigating to that Setter although eclipse complained it is not there. So I simply retyped it and it worked fine (even for all other Setters)
I am still struggling with
Implicit super constructor Item() is undefined for default constructor. Must define an explicit constructor"
I also experience those misterious error-symbols on packages from time to time. A way to get rid of them that works for me is to effectively remove the JRE System Library from Java Build Path and add it back again.
My solution that finally worked was to clean all projects, close eclipse, clean all projects, close eclipse, and so on at least 5-6 times. Eventually it all settled down and everything was as expected. Weirdest thing ever!!
And no there were no errors in the Problem or console view.
Also this happened after a computer crash. The last time it happened my whole workspace was completely lost. It was still there on the computer, but when I tried to access it, it would be all blank.
For whatever reason computer crashes are really really really badly handled by eclipse.
Also, you may update the project by clicking,
Right Click on project name -> Select Maven -> Right click -> Update Project.
This helped out for me.
Thanks.
This can occur for a number of reasons. If you have changed the jdk, the Project facet will have a red X next to it while no other folders shows an error. If this is the case, modify the jdk that is shown. This happens on occasion in our JAX-WS class (HSG
I solved mine by
Close all other projects (i.e. unrelated project option)
Clean and build
My project was android, and that did it.
This happened when i downloaded fabric.io on Eclipse Mars but Restarting computer solved this problem for me.
i had same problem. I checked "Problems"-Tab and found no server for the project. I defined the server. the red-x disappered
You can go to project-> Buildpath-> Library
If there is any library that is X marked ie [cross marked] removed it and again try to build. It worked for me as well/
I encountered this problem today and found this link. I followed as mentioned by Patrick Schaefer above and opened the Update Maven project Dialog. Click on my working project and selected the checkbox "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases" and 'Ok'. All the red cross vanished.
I hope this helps anybody in a similar situation.
The question is old but I had this issue and I tried the following to no avail.
mvn update (with snapshots)
remove project and re-importing
clean build
restarting Eclipse
changing order of items in build path
In my case I've got multi module mvn projects and one of the nested projects was showing a red X icon only in the Project Explorer (package explorer and problems were totally fine) and the whole project was fine as I could run classes without any issues. So seemed like a display issue.
The only thing that worked for me was to edit the pom.xml if the offending project module and make a breaking change (add 'xxx' to a tag name) which caused 1000s of errors and then undo.
You may clean the project by clicking,
In Eclipse, Right Click on Project -> clean
This helped out for me and saved a lot of time.
Thanks.
Right click on the project with errors, then in the sub-menus select:
Maven > UpdateProject >
and then:
Select the checkbox for all the dependent projects
select force update of snapshots
click OK.
This worked for me..
