Error with parsing Android sdk content and initializing java tooling in eclipse

Question

Every time I open Eclipse, I get the following error messages:

Android SDK Content Loader: parseSdkContent failed java.lang.NullPointerException

Initializing Jav

Answer 1

I encountered exactly the same issue this morning. This is a workspace related issue.

Solution 1
I looked into my .metadata and read .bak_number.log files . Some layouts failed to parse and my projects were out of sync with the file system. So I deleted all the .bak_number.log files. Relaunch Eclipse and the whole worskspace should work again the way you left previously.

Solution 2
However if it's not due to out of sync with the file system. Change the workspace then import all the eclipse projects from the previous workspace. Thanks the project.properties files , the dependencies are still kept.

PS : I should return to IntelliJ :)
