Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/myapp/R$array;

Question

Since updating to ADT 14 I can no longer build my project. It was building fine prior to updating.

The error:

Answer 1

After reading Terrys response about deleting the bin directory and Larrys about the the location of the ANT directory:

I moved the files located in my projects BIN directory to the BIN/CLASSES and im up and running.

Edit 1 Then failed on second run...doh

Edit 2 So closed Eclipse moved files back to original location and its all working... um what? I don't pretend to know why this worked. Will update if any changes.

Edit 3 I have noted from my backups that there were indeed duplicate files in the BIN directory and BIN/CLASSES.

So the answer is: don't have files in both locations. At least for me that's what worked.
