I've been working with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno release 20120920-0800) on OS X 10.8.2 for a few weeks now, building apps for Android 3.0 and above. I have a quad core i7 MacBook Pro with an SSD, so performance is not an issue. Everything was fine.
At some point I imported an Android project that required Android 2.2, so I installed that using the Android SDK manager (v.21). Ever since then, working with Eclipse takes forever. First of all, it will print the following in the status message at the bottom right:
Android SDK Content Loader: (0%)
This takes two minutes or so. The specific message is "Check Projects" and while it's doing that, all Android projects are highlighted in red, because the Android resources aren't found. Then, it proceeds with:
Loading data for Android 2.2 (100%)
This will stay for a couple of minutes. Then it goes on to do the same with Android 3.1 and other SDK versions I have installed. It basically hangs whenever the first autocompletion kicks in (e.g. after typing System.
) or when I access the Android preferences before it has loaded.
Here's the state of my Android SDK:
What I've already tried:
Reinstalling the Android SDK (via Homebrew), thus deleting /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk
completely.
Reinstalling the AVD plugin (v.21) from scratch.
What can I do to find out about the source of these problems and get back to a nice and clean state?
This is the solution I found which works correctly:
%USERPROFILE%/
on Windows or simply ~
on Linux/OS X (You can locate this folder from the Desktop).android
folder (This may be a hidden folder)cache
which is located inside .android
folderddms.cfg
which is located inside .android
folderHope that this will work for you.
Same problem, stuck at 0%. Ran
/Applications/eclipse/eclipse -clean
and everything worked great again. Modify that path for linux boxes.
Update (from the remark from @Janusz )
For mac users with eclipse outside application directory your clean command will looks similar to:
path/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -clean
