Answer 1

I have the same issue. I closed all the projects then you can set the Android SDK Location. Thereafter need to open one by one and fix

Answer 2

Delete the avd file in your .android folder and restart the eclipse.. it should be mostly in c:/users/... search for avd in windows search. worked for me.

Answer 3

I work in this problem for 2 days. In my workspace I have 2 projects. After review both project.properties, project 1 reference project 2 and project 2 reference project 1. This cause a stackoverflow. I comment one line and the problem is solved.

Answer 4

It seems Android throws these usual BS problems "Android Content SDK Loader..." and "R cannot be resolved ..." often when there are simple coding errors in String XML or Manifest.

I just happen to have my XML in string name="city-state-zip" while there should'nt be any special characters in the name. But I only found it when Android finally pointed me to this error through gen/package/R.java file

Answer 5

I had the same problem. This annoying error popped up every time I started Eclipse and even a reinstall didn't work.

Look at the .log file in the .metadata of your workspace to find more about this error. Mine said:

java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ProjectDescription.hasPublicChanges(ProjectDescription.java:509)

Eventually I found out that a .project file was missing a < name > tag that got lost somewhere when I renamed the project on the SVN server. So make sure the file isn't corrupt.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><projectDescription>
<name>ProjectName</name>

I got the same problem and killed my two hours to resolve the issues. I have checked my work space and got two projects where project.properties file #project target= android-10 as the similar target with one of my another project to integrate Facebook SDK. I have completely deleted one project and reinstalled Eclipse-Indio 4.2.1 and then resolve the problem. Good luck!!
