“Unable to get system library for project” after I upgraded to Android SDK 2.3 and ADT 8.0

Question

Today I upgraded to Android SDK 2.3 and I also upgraded the Eclipse Plugin Androi Developer Tools 8.0 (from 0.9.9). I also upgraded my Java Development Kit to 1.6_22.

No

Answer 1

This problem was caused for my old projects on a new machine that did not have an older Android SDK installed.

To fix, simply go into project.properties and observe your old version number:

# Project target.
target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:3

Simply update the version number, like so:

# Project target.
target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:7

You will find that Eclipse then picks up the right SDK version and starts working.
