i just upgraded my system to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) and now everytime I attempt to run my application in the debugger, I get a crash in aapt.exe.
If I just build, it builds fine, but when I go to run it in the debugger, aapt.exe crashes (which pops up a dialog and asks me if I want to send data to Microsoft) and my project icon in Project_Explorer shows that it has error(s).
There is a known issue in AAPT for r15, try to change the build output to normal
http://tools.android.com/knownissues
AAPT crashes on Windows in some cases when the build output is set to verbose.
The workaround is to set
Eclipse > Preferences > Android > Build > Build Output
to less than Verbose, e.g. Normal.We have a fix, which will be available in tools 16. [Issue 20395]
In my case this solution doesn't work (Build Output), so I had to think. The problem was with .9.png files (bitmaps with my spinner). I deleted it and aapt.exe works fine.
I got same issue with ADT 16.0.1 (released: December 2011). Error occurred when executing C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe crunch -v -S C:\Do... and Windows shows an exception thrown from aapt.exe.
Then a 0-byte <myproject>.apk has been created. And Eclipse shows error ...resources.ap_ file not found....
BTW, i am using up-to-date (as of today) Eclipse, android-sdk and ADT.
But my problem was solved just by changing build output to normal as described in the above solution.
I am also suggesting to change the question title.
