I mostly see that with students that try using Eclipse's Ctrl-Shift-O while they have a resource bug that inhibited R from being generated. One solution to that would be for aapt to not get rid of the old R if resource errors failed in generating a fresh R. This would also help the "OMG my whole project's busted" effect you get from a failed R build that therefore causes compile errors for every R reference in the project. > Having anything.out.xml in the resources area breaks it.

And I still occasionally run with an XML editor in the active tab, so something fixed this for me -- in fact, I just tried it and could not reproduce the problem. What Eclipse are you on (I'm on Galileo)?

FWIW, I haven't run into that, unless you mean the "R constants changed and the inlined numbers in already-compiled classes didn't" issue. > It sometimes doesn't copy changed resources into the output apk, again > requiring a complete rebuild. FWIW, I haven't run into that. How are you determining that this has occurred, vs. the R values simply being out of sync as in my previous point? > Please consider dedicating one or more human resources to ferret out and > solve these problems. Check b.android.com for existing issues on these, and filing ones if you don't see them. Prefix Eclipse specific ones with ADT, as that seem to help them show up on the tools team's radar. Also, if you do file issues, you might cross-post links to them to the adt-dev Google Group, particularly for non-Eclipse-specific ones, to increase the odds that they'll get properly assigned. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 2.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
