android sdk main.out.xml parsing error?

I just started a new Android project, "WeekendStudy" to continue learning Android development and I got stumped compiling the default 'hello weekendstudy' compile / run. I think that I missed a step in configuration and setup, but I am at a loss to find out where. I have an AVD configured, set and launched.

When I press 'run', the SDK is building a file main.out.xml and then fails as this:

[2010-03-06 09:46:47 - WeekendStudy]Error in an XML file: aborting build.

Solution 1:

Better fixing: Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Launching -> Lauch Configuration

Cross : Filter checked launch configuration types and Cross also : XSL (at the end of the list)

Solution 2:

Yeah, same problem with me.

To prevent out.xml from being created.

1. edit an XML file, a perfectly natural thing to do....

2. save and close the XML file

3. Open any .java file in src/

4. Double click in the file to ensure it has focus and the cursor is in there.

5. Run... should be OK now

If it happens, do this...

1. edit an XML file, a perfectly natural thing to do....

2. Run... crash due to dreaded out.xml file

3. Delete the /res/___.out.xml file

4. Close all files in the IDE view

5. Project...Clean...

6. Open any .java file in src/

7. Double click in the file so it has focus and the cursor is in there.

8. Run... should be OK now
