DexFile.class error in eclipse

Question

I get this weird error everytime I debug in eclipse. It just seemed to appear one day and I was wondering if anyone else was running int the same problem. It does not affect my app in anyway visibly and does not cause a crash but it is an annoyance while debugging. Here is the full error:

Answer 1

I finally found an answer Here. It looks like when you debug, it tries to go into code for which it doesn't have (the android source). There is a way you can include that into your project to avoid this error. If the link above doesn't work, try this one.

the link is now broken – Boarer

Answer 2

I discovered that this was happening because I set a breakpoint on a class definition. To fix it i used the break point window in the debug perspective to uncheck all breakpoints. Hope this helps.

Nonaggression

This is the real answer if you don't want to see the DexFile.class source. Eclipse->Window->Show View->(Other->Debug->)Breakpoints – Salomesalomi

Agreed, I went into debug, breakpoints window and then clicked on the ("xx") icon, which is Delete all breakpoints. – Baca

Such a silly and annoying issue... removing all the breakpoints is a pain especially when it's so easy to accidentally create the problem. Thanks for the solution though. – Blisse

Yet another reason why I hate Eclipse.. IntelliJ ftw. – Catchpole
