Error: Android source build in eclipse

Question

While trying to add android source to eclipse, I am getting the following errors.

Project 'android' is missing required library: 'out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/gsf-client_intermediates/javalib.jar'
Project 'android' is missing required library: 'out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/google-common_intermediates/javalib.jar'

FYI, I have built the source successfully with full_maguro-userdebug configuration (for Galaxy Nexus) before adding this to eclipse. Since I couldn't find "create project from existing source" in Eclipse Indigo, I changed the location of the project to the root directory of the source. I refreshed the project several times with same error.

How to solve this issue?

You probably want to point to it for purpose of reference, not add it as a project (ie, that you would build from within eclipse) — Chris Stratton, Apr 29 '12 at 05:00

You should go to Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path.

There open tab Libraries.

In this tab out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/google-common_intermediates/javalib.jar should be changed to out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/android-common_intermediates/javalib.jar by selecting javalib.jar from google-common_intermediates, pressing Edit and selecting instead android-common_intermediates.

Entry with gsf-client_intermediates javalib.jar can be simply deleted.

May still have some issues after fixing this. For example, two missing occurences of EventLogTags.java in: ' com.android.providers.calendar com.android.providers.contacts ' More details see here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-platform/XIbR8ZKe7Tw – HackNone May 06 '13 at 05:48

I would not recommend using eclipse for android source. Android is not a single project and it too big for an IDE like eclipse to handle.

Use simpler plain text editors like vim, emacs to browse the code
