I had the same problem. Try <ol> <li>Right click on your project </li> <li>Go to properties </li> <li>Click the Android section </li> <li>Select a different target api (assuming one is already selected, as mine was - otherwise, select the one you want and jump to step 9) </li> <li>Click OK </li> <li>Do steps 1-3 again </li> <li>Select your original target api </li> <li>Click OK </li> <li>Clean and build your project </li> </ol> Worked for me, anyway.

I had the same problem. Try

Right click on your project
Go to properties
Click the Android section
Select a different target api (assuming one is already selected, as mine was - otherwise, select the one you want and jump to step 9)
Click OK
Do steps 1-3 again
Select your original target api
Click OK
Clean and build your project

Worked for me, anyway.
