That isn t the problem  Jack  Android SDK isn t x64  but works ok with x64 jvm  and x64 eclipse IDE    As helios said  you must set project compatibility to Java 5 0 or Java 6 0   To do that  2 options     Right-click on your project and select  Android Tools - gt  Fix Project Properties   if this din t work  try second option  Right-click on your project and select  Properties - gt  Java     Compiler   check  Enable project specific settings  and select 1 5 or 1 6 from  Compiler compliance settings  select box

As BMSAndroidDroid said  this problem may be caused by a wrong build path configuration   If you included some libraries to your build path  then move the libraries  the build path will conserve the wrong references  will not found the libraries during compilation and you will get an error   To fix it  right click on your project folder   build path   configure build path Then take a look to the library tab  and remove the old libraries

I would recommend using x86 version of jvm  When I first got my new laptop  x64   I wanted to go x64 all the way  jvm  jdk  jre  eclipse  etc     But once I finished setting everything up I realized that the Android SDK wasn t x64  so I had issues  Go back to x86 jvm and you should be ok   EDIT  11 14 13  I ve seen some recent activity and figured I would elaborate a little more   I did not say it would not work with x64  I just recommended using x86   Here is a good post on the advantages   disadvantages of x64 JDK  Benefits of 64bit Java platform  Thought process  To what end  Why am I trying to using 64 bit JDK  Just because I have a 64-bit OS  Do I need any of the features of 64-bit JDK  Are there any extra features in the 64-bit JDK   Why won t this s    play nice together   F    it I m going 32-bit

I fixed this problem employing the two procedures of     In Eclipse-  Project  menu -   Java Compiler  -  set  Compiler compliance level    1 6 check on  Use default compliance settings  Set  Generated  class compatibility    1 6 Set  Source compatibilty    1 6 Then go to  Windows  menu --   Preferences  --  Java    expand  Java  --   Compiler  -- Set  Compiler compliance level    1 6   Hint  Source compatibility must be equal to or less than compliance level

For most of the people still receiving the error after fixing project properties  you probably installed Java 7 SDK when setting up your environment  but it is not currently supported for Android development   As the error message sais  you should have installed Java 5 0 or 6 0  but Java 7 was found   If you fix project properties without first installing Java 5 or 6  you will see the same error again    So first  ensure you have Java SDK 5 or 6 installed  or install it  Check your environment variable  JAVA HOME  is pointing to SDK 5 6    And then    Check that Eclipse is using SDK 5 6 by default  Window    Prefs     Java    Compiler Disable Project Specific Settings  Project Properties    Java Compiler  Fix Project Properties   OR    Leave Eclipse using JDK 7 by default  Enable Project Specific Settings  Project Properties    Java Compiler  Select Compiler Compliance 1 5 or 1 6  Project Properties    Java Compiler

Following worked for me  Enable project-specific settings and set the compliance level to 1 6   How can you do that   In your Eclipse Package Explorer 3rd click on your project and select properties  Properties Window will open  Select Java Compiler on the left panel of the window  Now Enable project specific settings and set the Complier compliance level to 1 6  Select Apply and then OK

I agree with BMSAndroidDroid and Flo-Scheild-Bobby  I was doing a tutorial called DailyQuote and had used the Cordova library  I then changed my OS from Windows to Ubuntu and tried to import projects into Eclipse   I m using Eclipse Juno 64-bit  on Ubuntu 12 04 64-bit  Oracle JDK 7  I also installed the Ubuntu 32-bit libs- so no issues with 64 and 32bit   and got the same issue   As suggested by Flo-Scheild-Bobby  open configure build path and add the jar s  again that you added before  Then remove the old jar link s  and thats it
