Android Packaging Problem: resources.ap_ does not exist
- by Galip
I am trying to fix a problem in Eclipse for like 3 hours and I haven't made any progress. Tomorrow is the customer coming to look at my app, and I have no time left. This is really frustrating!
This morning when I was coding and I wanted to run my app on my device Eclipse crashed all of a sudden. 'aapt.exe has stopped working'
After this Eclipse wasn't starting anymore. It froze at the splash image.
I looked on the internet and tried different solutions like going back to Java SE 6 update 20, changing .ini file etc. in the end reinstalling Eclipse did the job.
Shortly after that the 'aapt.exe has stopped working' returned. I found a solution by changing my projects target. 1.5, 1.6, 2.2 doesn't matter, as long as it's different than the one before.
Now I get the Error generating final archive: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\xxx\bin\resources.ap_ does not exist error.
I tried clean but that doesn't work. Deleting and automatically regenarting R.java also didn't work.
I ran the same code in Netbeans with the Android plugin and there it gives me the 'aapt.exe has stopped working' again :(
Please guys, how can I fix this?
Edit:
I think I may have found the reason. These are the error lines in the console:

[2011-01-17 16:37:20 - gegevens.xml] Unable to resolve drawable "com.android.layoutlib.utils.ResourceValue@267e33de" in attribute "background"
The file it's talking about is 'bg.png'. It's a small png file which I repeat in a .xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="@drawable/bg" android:tileMode="repeat" />
This file has worked from the first time without any problems.
I deleted it from the drawable folder, waited for an error message, and then added it back. The red x next to the foldername got away, but still nothing different...
