Android Eclipse - Could not find apk

Question

I know this question has been asked before and I have seen a plethora of solutions out there  yet none seem to work for me   I was able to build my apk without issues until this error started cropping up   I have tried cleaning my project  removing it from the workspace and reimporting it  removing  Java Builder  from my Builders for the project  building the project manually  reordering my java build path   I have no visible compiler issues and no problems exist in my workspace     I did experience this issue before and solved it once by removing the project form my workspace and re-importing it and another time I solved it by removing  Java Builder  from my java build path   None seem to work this time   I currently have most of the settings set back to default  i e  java build is checked again    I am running windows 7  64 bit  and using jdk1 6 0 21 via Eclipse 3 6     Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have lost loads of development time troubleshooting this already    Update  My locale is English  amp  I have tried removing the debug keystore  United States as related to issue 834

On my machine  Windows7  64bit  I could fix this by setting my execution environment to a 32bit variant of the jdk  I used 1 6 0 23   And I tried a lot of things before

I figured it out   I was referencing JavaSE-1 5 and using JDK 1 6   I changed it to use 1 6 and that appears to fix it     Seems like through my research that is an overloaded error message that covers a lot of error cases

I was having the same issue as the OP except that all these suggestions did not work  I found a solution for me   Make sure that  Skip packaging and dexing until export or launch   is selected   Go to Window -  Preferences -  Android -  Build  Just make sure that option is selected and apply   I know this does not make a lot of sense  but having it unselected was giving me this error and with it selected it goes away and the apk is installed     I am using the auto generated ant build script from android and ONLY using it as my build process in eclipse  I am not using any other build methods

Please follow these steps  this might help you out    Right-click your app project and go to Properties Select Android from left-hand side list Uncheck the  Is Library  checkbox   If your app project relies on library projects which are in your workspace  those of course need to have the  Is Library  box checked

None of these things worked for me  I m trying to access native code through the jni  first with NDK samples  What I found was the build won t run if jarlist cache is not present in the project bin directory  If I copy one from another project to that location  may need to refresh to see the folder in Eclipse   build works every time

deleting the R Java file in  Gen folder did the trick for me

User · Answer

Find the project s folder in your system  enter it s Properties via context menu and deselect  Read only  option  Worked in my case   This seems to be the source of the problem in many cases  moreover some solutions up there base on copying rewriting the files in the project what makes them non-read-only
