java - Android Eclipse Error executing aapt: return code 139

Question

I have an Android application project that suddenly stopped to work. There is apparently no error, but when I try to launch, I get this:

Error executing aapt: return code 139

I tried to clean the project and its dependent library project, restarted Eclipse, updated to latest ADT and SDK versions, etc. but all failed. I also have this other error sometimes (without changing anything):

Error generating final archive: java.io.FileNotFoundException: .../bin/resources.ap_ does not exist

I'm completely lost.

MORE INFO

I spent hours to disassemble and reassemble everything piece by piece, and finally found what causes these errors, though I still don't understand anything better... I had a resource like this:

<resources>
<integer-array name="titi">
<item>@+id/toto</item>
</integer-array>
</resources>

I removed it and everything worked again... Of course the resource file had no error at all. Half a day lost for nothing, this Eclipse is driving me mad 8-/ Am I the only one?

Answer 1

Just had the same issue and the problem was that I had a menu file inside the menu folder which had an android:title="@string/.." that did not exist in my strings file. After adding it and doing a Project > Clean the problem is gone.
