Unable to write jarlist cache file while creating android project

Question

While creating an android project in Eclipse, I get the error:

[2014-03-13 15:14:36 - appcompat_v7] WARNING: unable to write jarlist cache file C:\\Users\\Neel

Answer 1

Change Workspace path in starting Eclipse:

• from C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\workspace
• to, for example D:\My_Folder

Answer 2

A different approach worked in my case, saying it here if it can help someone. I also came across this weird problem of appcompat while creating a new project.

I have just clean and build the default appcompat_v7 project for 2 times which is created by eclipse itself and voila it worked! and all errors are gone, works perfectly.

Answer 3

That's because you also need Adroid Version 2.1! Go to Android SDK Manager and download Android Version 2.1 (API 7)

If you start a new Android App. Project there is typed that FROM 2.1 TILL 4.4 Android version. So that mean the program is searching for the minimum Android version bro :)

BTW: Download the 2.2. Android Version, too. :)

Answer 4

I got the same error and the following steps worked for me.

Just delete the gen and bin folders

Clean(Re build) the project.

Answer 5

Just got the same problem today.

In my case the combination of your advices became a solution:

1. In Eclipse project bar I have deleted Appcompat(XYZ) and the new project that I just created.

2. Checked for updates - no updates were found.

3. Clicked File -> Restart.

4. While creating new project have chosen API 14 as Minimum Required SDK.

Done.

Answer 6

This may not be the professional way but it worked for me.

• Manually create a folder named jar in the path: C:\Users\\***\appcompat_v7\bin\
• Referesh your project in eclipse.
