SOLUTION 1:

Are you using proguard? if so.. you might want to replace the one in the sdk (C:\\android-sdk\\tools2\\proguard*) with the latest version from here .

You can rename the old proguard to proguard2 and place the downloaded version in C:\\android-sdk\\tools2\\proguard*

*Note: the folder of your AndroidSDK might be different

SOLUTION 2:

If you had imported other projects as libraries for the main project you might check if those libraries are imported twice:

SOLUTION 3:

Create a new Android project with the same package name, copy all your resources, Manifest and source files, configure the external libraries and then try to compile the new project

Answer 2

That usually happens when you have android.jar accidentally included twice. Go into your project's Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries and remove the one that's not under the Android XY drop-down.

Answer 3

Problem solved. Removed r18 and went for r17 and then every thing is fine.
