I was using the "Extract Android String" option under the Android menu in eclipse and suddenly aapt crashes when generating my resource (R) file. I'm at a complete loss here. I've gotten it to compile once by switching the target API in both projects from 15 to 16 and back but it seems like it was a fluke.
I'm using Actinbar Sherlock and it poops when generating some of its resource IDs. Actionbar Sherlock builds just find its my project that uses ActionBar Sherlock that fails.
I turned on the verbose logging for builds and you can see it just crashes in the middle of a print statement.

As you can see it broke during compiling event_details.xml so I just removed the file all together and it generated my R file, but it seems to be a fluke, I added the event again, it failed as I expected, I removed the event file again and now i fails on a different file.
Anyone know whats going on here?
