Res' does not exist in Eclipse

Question

I am having the issue in Eclipse:

Unparsed aapt error(s)! Check the console for output.

Output:

[2011-08-23 07:57:04 - Penncat AQI] ERROR: resource directory 'C:\Users\Allison\Desktop\penncat app?\penncat app 822\res' does not exist

The res folder is there though...any suggestions?

I cleaned it, closed the project, exit eclipse, reopened it and still same issue above exists.

Answer 1

Mybe you path have a issue “C:\Users\Allison\Desktop\penncat app?\penncat app 822\res“；my problem is the path have chinese character.

Answer 2

I have encountered the same error when I accidentally deleted my res folder. It seems that folders that are recognized by the ADT are used. You can see that in the package explorer, folders recognized by the ADT have an icon with 'a', if not, moving away the previous res folder and 'create new folder' in the package explorer would make one.

I guess there should be a better way to mark an existing folder as 'android resource folder', but I didn't figure it out yet.
