Project 'XYZ' is missing required source folder 'gen'

By coalczar on Mon, 12/17/2012 - 18:29

Hello,

 

I have tried building both the ImageTargets and Dominoes sample apps according to the instructions given, but I come across two errors.  The first is the title of this post.  The second is: "unable to resolve target 'android-16'".

 

I have tried finding anything about the 'gen' folder, and I don't know what to do.  I really can't find a folder marked 'gen' and every response to this error I've seen on the Internet already has said folder.  They just delete it and it repairs itself.

 

I haven't seen anything helpful on the forums about my second error either.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Josh

Hi, the error "unable to resolve target 'android-16'" is usually due to the fact that you have not installed the Android API level 16;

you can fix that by using the SDK Manager in Eclipse and install that API level (which corresponds to Android 4.1);

Huzzah!

 

The suggestion you had worked (updating the API) and resolved my 'gen' problem as well.  Thanks so much!
