Answer 1

This happens to me occasionally. I just right click the xml layout file and choose "Open With... Android Layout Editor". It seems to then fix itself until the next time.

Answer 2

Do this:

Delete project, without deleting the source files

File>Import>Existing Projects into Workspace,and select your project

problem fixed!

Answer 3

Take a look on your Eclipse at : Window-->Preferences-->Editors-->File Associations-->.*XML--->set this as Default one---->ok
