aapt not found under the right path

Question

I just updated ADT, than the SDK and now I have in only one project the issue, that my aapt isn't found

Error executing aapt. Please check aapt is present at /opt/android/platform-tools/aapt

The path is correct, I checked twice and more times.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 martin martin 3,5M 2010-12-08 10:41 /opt/android/platform-tools/aapt

I can start aapt via console, the permissions are 777, I restarted eclipse, closed/reopened the project, restarted adb and finally my Ubuntu.

Some ideas why this might happen only at one project?

Solution 1

It seems that cleaning this specific project doesn't work but cleaning all open project does the trick.

I leave this question if someone else get this issue.

Solution 2

I found that this could be fixed by installing the ia32-libs package as the Android sdk requires 32-bit libraries.

Solution 3

I solved this problem by adding a / after my android-sdk path in...

Eclipse->preferences->android->SDK Location:

Solution 4

The aapt location has been changed recently. You can find it under:

/path/to/adt/sdk/buid-tools/android-[version]/aapt

Solution 5

In the terminal execute this command :

chmod a+x platform-tools/aapt

it solved the problem for me

(in 64bit you have to install ia32-libs with this command : sudo apt-get install ia32-libs)

Very strange, but that did it for me too. Seems google needs to do some work on the plugin.

I updated both but couldn't get it to work without the specific clean up of all projects

[Computerish]

Worked perfectly! Thanks! Seems like there have been more issues since the update to the latest SDK.

Odd, exact same Behavior for me. Updated to 8.0.1 ( win x64 ) and got aapt error, did a eclipse -clean and nothing, but doing a project->clean... fixed it. Thanks! Don't think I would have found this one without your suggestion.

Same issue on Mac Snow Leopard, clean of all projects did the trick.

Resolve this by opening the Android SDK and AVD manager. Have a look if anything has a broken link icon in the installed package list and regardless, to clear the errors, update all and check under available packages for everything from the Android repository and take all the google third party add-ons.

Wouldn't have guessed that using 64bit was the problem if I hadn't seen your comment. Thanks.

Thank you. I had to install the ia32-libs and then run a clean on the project.

And where do we have to type this?

[Vladimir Ivanov]

Thank you, my case. But please check the name of the library, its 'lib32z1'

@AzharKhorasany chmod +x /location/of/sdk/build-tools/your sdk version/aapt
