I've just experience this bug where aapt crashes when I try to export the android project to apk. Almost like this one aapt.exe crashes when I try to export my Android application from Eclipse. I only encountered this bug because I've updated my Android SDK Tool to version 22.6.2 and eclipse to ADT Bundle 22.6.2
The difference is that in my case, even if I delete the 9 patch resources and readd them, the problem will just comeback. I Also tried redoing all my 9patch png with no successful result. I've researched and tried the different cases that will cause the aapt to crashes like this one (Eclipse and Android SDK issue "aapt.exe has stopped") and I've concluded that only 9 patch png causes the problem.
Do anyone know other ways to fix this bug because I really need to include the 9 patch in the project, or if not, any good alternative for the 9patch png? Lastly, is this a new bug since the 22.6.2 release was just released a week ago?
Note: if I delete all 9patch png resources the problem will not occured, but I need to include these 9patch pngs in the exported apk.
Edit: So in Window > Preferences > Android > Build > Build Ouput I picked normal. Then I remove the 9 patch and readd them then in the error log I got the following (note that @drawable/bubble_me is a 9patch png so where the f*ck I gonna put that #?):
java.lang.NumberFormatException: Color value '@drawable/bubble_me' must start with #
