If you're working with Eclipse, see the answer for question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5233640/best-way-to-attach-android-source-to-eclipse — Victor Ionescu, Aug 30 '12 at 15:38
check if your activity is defined in the android manifest file — Sarvesh Shejwadkar, Aug 27 '11 at 17:24

The sources of the Android API are not included in the SDK download. So when the debugging goes to an Android class Eclipse will raise an error.

Have a look at this questions for instructions on how to add the source to Eclipse.

If an activity want any special feature, then it should be registered on the manifestfile for permission to handle that feature. If you are not registering it in manifestfile, then the

source not found

EDIT SOURCE LOOKUP PATH

would occur when you are on debugging mode.

I would recommend especially for focus on "uses-permission" tag in manifestfile

Check your eclipse build path if the folder, that contains you source code is really on the defined build path.

Probably the problem is in wrong coding. Check the AndroidManifest.xml file.

I came across the same error. It was due to variable used to change the app background color. I had created a varibale in string.xml as mycolor = "#FF3344" and had added it as background of Linerar Layout. It seems more of coding error.
