When I run my android project in Intellij IDEA using an AVD I get this error
android-apt-compiler: Cannot run program "/Users/myAccount/Documents/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

IntelliJ IDEA is one of the popular IDE that is used for developing android applications.
Create a new Android project Launch IntelliJ IDEA. On the Welcome screen, click New Project. If you already have a project open, from the main menu select File | New | Project. In the New Project wizard, select Android on the left.
Set up a module SDKFrom the main menu, select File | Project Structure | Project Settings | Modules. Select the module for which you want to set an SDK and click Dependencies. If the necessary SDK is already defined in IntelliJ IDEA, select it from the Module SDK list.
Yeah according to Simon in Android Hello-World compile error: Intellij cannot find aapt "It appears that the latest update to the r22 SDK release moved aapt and the lib jar from the platform-tools to the build-tools directory. While we wait for JetBrains to release an update, here's a quick fix using a couple of symbolic links for Unix users:
From your AndroidSDK/platform-tools directory, run the following:
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/aapt aapt
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/lib lib
...and IntelliJ should be able to compile as normal. "
Unfortunately copying is the easier way around this on windows... unless you use something like
mklink /H C:\Users\Tom\androidsdk\build-tools\17.0.0\aapt.exe C:\Users\Tom\androidsdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe
in the command prompt to attempt to make a hard link window's style of the file to your platform tools folder.
caveat I haven't tried this though...

I solve this problem on WIn by copy all files from android-sdk/build-tools/17.0.0 to platform-tools folder.
