Answer 1

Coincidentally I ran into the same issue just day before yesterday. Here's what I suggest you to do.

First and foremost make sure that you have a backup of all the jars presently residing in the 'Android Dependencies'/'libs' folder.

Now, lets fix the lite version first by following these steps.

1. Remove all jar files except android-support-v4.jar from the 'Android Dependencies' folder under Project Explorer in Eclipse.

2. Similarly remove all Jar files except android-support-v4.jar from the libs folder under Project Explorer in Eclipse.

3. Now Right click on your project-> Select Properties-> Select Java Build Path-> Select Add External JARs. Add all the necessary jar files (just make sure you add a particular jar file only once).

Finally clean the project and build it. Now apply the same sequence of steps to the pro version. That should do it.

UPDATE:- In case you see Eclipse cribbing about some compile time errors after doing all this all you might have to do is to just fix those compile time errors by doing the necessary imports by pressing Ctrl+Shift+O.

[I assume that there's no linkage between the pro and lite versions of the project in terms of source dependencies etc.. what I mean to say basically they are totally independent.]

Hope this helps.
