Problem with aapt.exe

Question

I am using the latest version of the ADT Bundle package uploaded to the Android developers site. I am on Windows 7. My R.java file does not compile correctly because I received the following error message from Windows:

Here is a summary of the issues:

Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: aapt.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 52684cb5 Fault Module Name: aapt.exe Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 52684cb5 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0003cf2a OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Read our privacy statement online: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104288&clcid=0x0409 If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txt 

Now because of this, my R.java file continues to disappear and the following problems appear:

Pay attention to the first problem in this list.

Now I have completed the following steps about 10 times:

 1. Uncheck build automatically 2. Clean project, 3. Check build config 4. Rebuild project 

If you are going to say to make it as a solution, then do not submit the solution because I am not going to do what I have already done a billion times.

I migrated this project from Android Studio from all its errors, and, in my experience with Eclipse, I have never seen this aapt.exe error. What is aapt.exe and what is its purpose?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I would like to thank you for the help provided. After about 2 hours comparing files with files and about 50 Google searches, I fixed them.

It turns out that in my xml file called main_menu.xml, an extra line of code appeared that didn't have to be there. See the code below and read the comment:

 <!-- This top line is the problem --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@id/action_about" android:icon="@drawable/action_about" android:orderInCategory="1" android:title="@string/action_about"/> <item android:id="@id/action_settings" android:orderInCategory="100" android:title="@string/action_settings"/> </menu> 

Now the following code is the solution that fixed the R.java file generation error:

 <!-- The xml version/encoding line is gone and everything is working fine now --> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:id="@+id/action_about" android:icon="@drawable/action_about" android:orderInCategory="1" android:showAsAction="always" android:title="@string/action_about"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_settings" android:orderInCategory="2" android:showAsAction="never" android:title="@string/action_settings"/> </menu> 

So now everything is working fine!

Thanks again for your help!

This is not Andrey’s problem. The problem is the type mismatch. you could declare an object variable with a different type, and you are trying to assign an object of a different type. Thanks

Answer 3

AAPT is an Android creation tool that transfers resources; It is used by both ADT and Android Studio. The most common accident that I know of is related to the https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42752 error. Usually the reason is a link to a nonexistent line in one of your menu resources. Look at this and see if it clears your collapse. See Also Failed to run application: processDebugResources Android Studio .

Answer 4

I had the same problem. I resolve this by deleting the xml menu file.

Answer 5

I would like to thank you for this result, its working tone following the xml code is correct.

 <item android:id="@+id/action_about" android:icon="@drawable/action_about" android:orderInCategory="1" android:showAsAction="always" android:title="@string/action_about"/> <item android:id="@+id/action_settings" android:orderInCategory="2" android:showAsAction="never" android:title="@string/action_settings"/>

In my case, the problem was the lack of missing xmlns attributes for the namespace prefixes used in the file of the manually created file. In my case, these prefixes are wre app: tools: context :. I used the NetBeans Check XML Validation feature to find and fix syntax problems in my Android XML files. Here's how:

• Open XML File in NetBeans: File => Open File
• Right-click in the editor window for the XML file and select Validate XML
• Bug Fixes Reported
• Repeat "Validate XML" and correct the error until more errors appear.

Answer 7

In my case, the problem was in my menu file (main.xml) in the following line: android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_search"

I refer to a non-existent opportunity. If you encounter such an error, I advise you to check the files of your menu and check whether you are associated with a non-existent resource, for example @string or @drawable.

I install the latest ADT always. After 1 or 2 days, when I start eclipse, I get aapt error. I use libGDX to create games, I do not have xml files, such as the problems above.

I am tired of removing and removing ADT daily. Is someone else in the same problem?
