Are you using any IDE like eclipse? – Certified 20/1, 2011 at 9:32

Upgrade you "android-sdk" i think there are mission files, then clean ::::: Android tools -> Add support libraries – Jibheaded 31/8, 2012 at 4:52

Try to clean project and if it still doesn't help close and then open project.

Not sure why this is accepted as a solution when it didn't solve your problem.. Nor did it solve mine. – Timberhead 23/9, 2014 at 0:20

IF you are using eclipse then do as follows:

right click your project.
select build path-->configure build path.
update all the broken links in all 4 tabs.
Go to project-->clean [project will be found at top menu of eclipse.]
Clean your project.

Its done. For any further explanation comment on my answer.

Hope this helps.

Here you go:

As you can see i'm at source tab of configure build path and i have only one folder here named ATalk/Src. likewise you can have number of folders.

Check for red cross mark on folder. if its there then your folder path is wrong means link is broken for that folder.

Same way you can check in Libraries tab. There you will find list of jars in your project. If any of them have red cross then its path is missing. So update all such red cross paths.

As you can see i dont have a red cross on my folder means it is at correct location.

Hope you get my point.

@bala: by looking at your screen shot i can only say: "update your SDK path that points to correct location." Make sure SDK is located at the path given there. – Certified 20/1, 2011 at 11:8

ok if dont mine how to update please tell me because if i click install/update its indicate in this line: This currently displayed page contains invalid values... – Inland 20/1, 2011 at 11:15

@bala: you can browse for your SDK location. Click on the "Browse" button in your screen shot. – Certified 20/1, 2011 at 11:21

@bala: Tell me what happens if you do this. Does it let you change the path? – Certified 20/1, 2011 at 11:26

@bala: try creating similar project in a clean workspace, that means create a new workspace, and then copy all the .settings-files, .project and .classpath from the newly created workspace to the problematic workspace that is your current workspace. Let me know the out put. – Certified 20/1, 2011 at 11:48

EDIT:
I just noticed that, according to your screenshot, the problem seems to be that the adb tool is not found. Now I might be wrong but I think that as of Android 2.3 (maybe even earlier) the adb tool is expected to be in [path-to-your-sdk]/platform-tools folder, not in the [path-to-your-sdk]/tools folder. The later path was used in earlier SDK's and your problem might be caused by such a simple thing that you have an outdated Android plugin in Eclipse.

OLD, IRRELEVANT ANSWER:
I've seen these kind of issues in Eclipse environments when I have some kind of error in my XML files. Malformed errors (that violate the rules of the XML structure) are often treated as "syntax errors" and are shown directly when you write them or when you try to build your application.

Other errors, however, like giving invalid references (giving a dimension where an integer is expected, for example) are not always highlighted with file name and failing line number (I'm not sure if this is bug in Eclipse's android plugin or even if it's a bug at all).

These kind of errors you'll have to hunt down manually and rebuild your project (as dcave555 sugested). This is really boring work if you have many XML files with many changes in

The problem is because of your Android build path settings. Try to check:

Window > Prefereces > Android > Build path

it should properly set to your Android SDK

Scrape answered 20/1, 2011 at 9:44 Comment(1)

yes its not set properly now i am edit my content and post that error screen – Inland 20/1, 2011 at 10:48

I think the path should look like this: /home/embdes/projects/android/android-sdk-linux_86
