Yet another Googlemare Landmine....

I solved this same problem today: Somehow, if you mess up, the icon line on your .gen file dies. (Empirical proof of mine after struggling 2 hours)

The icon somehow resurrects on the Gen file and voila!! time to move on.

I think the issue is that you have

android:prompt="@string/level_array"

I actually has this problem once with a path issue referring another project :

I had this in my default.properties:

android.library.reference.1=..\\MyProject_Core\\

Which I fixed like this:

android.library.reference.1=../MyProject_Core/

Answer 6

I had the same issue and tried most of the solutions mentioned above and they did not fix it.. At then end, I went to my .csproj file and viewed it in the text editor, I found that my xml file that I put in the /Drawable was not set to be AndroidResouces it was just of type Content.

Changing that to be of type AndroidResouces fixed the issue for me.
