The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library 'facebook-android-sdk\facebook\bin\com_facebook_android.jar'

Question

I am trying to use the facebook sdk within my project, however keep receiving the following error:

The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library 'facebook-android-sdk\facebook\bin\com_facebook_android.jar'

Has anyone experienced/resolved this problem?

Thanks

The errors are shown below:

The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved.

Solution 1

Try this way

Solution 2

Is there a bin folder in the com_facebook_android project? If not, the Facebook SDK wasn't built. Go to Project->Build Automatically and enable it.

Solution 3

For anyone who does come across this:

Go to: Project > Clean > Clean all projects.

This might not always work but for me whenever there is some kind of dependency error, during the project load (after creating a new project) I just do this and surprisingly it works.

Solution 4

In my case the APK Builder build command was missing from the Eclipse .project file:

<buildCommand>
    <name>com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ApkBuilder</name>
    <arguments/>
</buildCommand>

I had the similar problem while creating new projects for advance versions (say 4.4) in Eclipse. It automatically creates an appcompat library and adds as a reference to a new Android project for providing backward compatibility. The new project refers to appcompat.jar in bin folder and it does not exist, until appcompat library is built. I followed the below steps...

1. Clean and build your appcompat library project. It creates bin folder and puts appcompat.jar in it.
2. Clean and build your main project. Error is resolved.

Note: If you still don't get the bin/appcompat.jar than uncheck IsLibrary option in project properties, build and than check this option and clean build. It will do create bin/appcompat.jar and solve the issue.

check your project setting... I am sure you can fix this... Or may be build automatic is off...

I have checked the 'facebook-android-sdk\facebook\bin\com_facebook_android.jar' the jar file doesn't exist, I tried downloading the SDK on several attempts and still the same error

[ValayPatel]

Did you check Android Properties of your project..?? below android build target version you can find Is Library check box... if that is not checked than check it.. Let me know if this is blocking you??

[user983965]

Thanks Valay, it appears the SDK has errors within the java code, I have pasted the error above. In addtion, I have tried Is Library to no success.

The same thing was happened with me. while I was trying build my project the bin folder from sdk becomes empty.So you must have re-build sdk again.

Your answer helped me - after doing 1 clean and number of times "build all" my project did build all the subprojects
