'Android SDK Content Loader' has encountered a problem - parseSdkContent failed After install fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 and Eclipse ADT with Android SDK, 'Android SDK Content Loader' has encountered a problem of parseSdkContent failed, Could not initialize class android.graphics.Typeface.

To fix it, delete Android L (API 20, L preview) in Android SDK Manager and restart Eclipse. It work in my case. Even re-install Android L (API 20, L preview).

The issue is in the your-avd-name.ini (config files) that is located at .android (Search it in windows search) on your Windows machine (if you’re Windows user). When any error occurs during the avd.ini parser, the Google ADT plugin tries to access a map that is null. The workaround is to delete the offending .ini file and recreate your avd(s).
