SOLUTION 1:

Are you using proguard? if so.. you might want to replace the one in the sdk (C:\android-sdk\tools2\proguard*) with the latest version from here.

You can rename the old proguard to proguard2 and place the downloaded version in C:\android-sdk\tools2\proguard*

*Note: the folder of your AndroidSDK might be different

SOLUTION 2:

If you had imported other projects as libraries for the main project you might check if those libraries are imported twice:

Android Libraries Android Build Path

Those Images were extracted from this answer

SOLUTION 3:

Create a new Android project with the same package name, copy all your resources, Manifest and source files, configure the external libraries and then try to compile the new project

I'm not using proguard. Also, haven't imported libraries twice. When I referenced library project, then in Android Dependencies > jar of library project + jar in library projects libs folder + annotations.jar (refered by library project from android-sdk-windows\tools\support) is automatically shown. I've refered no other library in main project. – himanshu.shekhar Apr 12 '12 at 06:06
See my new solution to see if that works.. That solved the problem for me a couple of times. – SERPRO Apr 12 '12 at 10:30
Had already done as you have suggested in new solution, without any luck. – himanshu.shekhar Apr 12 '12 at 10:55
Then I suggest you to start "removing" classes until you find if any of those are causing the problem.. – SERPRO Apr 12 '12 at 12:15

That usually happens when you have android.jar accidentally included twice. Go into your project's Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries and remove the one that's not under the Android X.Y drop-down.

In both projects android.jar is shown in Android 2.2 reference only. There is no 2 references of it. in both projects. – himanshu.shekhar Apr 12 '12 at 06:00

Problem solved. Removed r18 and went for r17 and then every thing is fine.
