Eclipse does not create helpl file

Question

I am having trouble getting eclipse to create a help file for Android. It seems that he does not recognize it and does not call "help" when creating a project.

Answer 1

You may have solved the problem, but for the help of others, I will not generate the corresponding .java files. So clean up the project once, and if that doesn't work, delete the gen folder, and then try to create the project. It worked for me.

Answer 2

Have you looked in the gen folder where the generated classes are stored? that was my problem, I just looked at the wrong folder.

Answer 3

First, make sure your .aidl files .aidl located in the same package as your .java files inside the src folder.

You can verify this by right-clicking on the .aidl file and check the path to this file. If the path does not contain the name of your package specified in the src folder, copy the .aidl file and place it inside the package specified in the src folder.

After that, clean the project and create it and look in the gen folder, .java files will be created for the corresponding .aidl files.

Answer 4

You may encounter this problem if your system does not have a helpl binary, that is, if you did not install the Android SDK Build-tools package from the Android SDK Manager.
