Eclipse不会创建主要活动和布局

Question

I can't start new projects anymore. This is what I do...

• Start Eclipse.
• New Android Application
  • min API 8
  • target API 18
  • compile API 19
  • create activity : checked
  • activity name : MainActivity
  • layout name : activity_main
  • finish

When I open the project (it doesn't even open MainActivity.java as it should be) : - src folder is empty - res/layout folder is empty

But AndroidManifest.xml exists. It was working perfectly before and I was able to create projects then it just suddenly broke.

I'm using APIs 18 and 19 all installed and up to date.

Answer 1

I had the same problem yesterday after updating the latest packages on the Android SDK Manager.

Fixed it by updating the Eclipse plugin: Run Eclipse > Help > Install new software > Paste the URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ then press Enter . After updating the plugin, I created a test project with the main activity and menu was created by default as normal.

Answer 2

I have the same problem before.

Using this Eclipse Update http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ did not work for me. I notice this problem when I download the latest updated SDK

Luckily the solution to my problem is very easy.

By Selecting Empty Project instead of Blank Activity makes it working.

I had a problem with opening the layout folder. I needed a xml file with the contents as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>

So,this is what I did.I tried updating eclipse but, the problem persisted. So,I just created a new xml file by right-clicking the layout folder.After creating the file,I just copy-pasted the aforementioned content.Hope it helps!

It happened to me too. It suddenly stopped creating MainActivity.java and layout. I could fix it by updating Eclipse:
Help -> Check for updates -> Select all

I had the same problema also. I fixed the problem follow the Werner recomendation. Eclipse --> Help --> Install new software --> Pasted URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ pressed Enter, but It's important check it out and remove before any copy of the plugin installed in available Software Sites.

Answer 7

I've just had the same issue on Mac 10.9.1. For what appears to be no reason, when creating a new android project, the "src" directory is empty, and there's no activity_main.xml. I tried Werner's fix, but the URL had issues trying to download the files. Deleted Eclipse, and re-installed. This appears to have fixed the issue.

Actually - still having this issue, even after re-installing Eclipse...
