I'm at a standstill in Eclipse due to an "Android Library Update" that never finishes. I tried restarting Eclipse, restarting my computer, deleting the .metadata folder under my Eclipse workspace, and several other shots in the dark. Under Window -> Preferences, I also already checked "Skip packaging and dexing (...)"

I have only two projects open: a small demo app and the Google Play Services Library linked to it. So the problem can't be too many projects, per this question.

Does anybody have any other ideas?

See the various steps in this post:

Eclipse hangs at the Android SDK Content Loader

One of the answers is mine (delete "workbench.xmi") which works for me the best. I find I have to do this every month or so.

  • I just closed Eclipse, deleted that XML file, and restarted Eclipse, but came back to the same dreaded update bar. Thanks for the link to that thread, though - I'll look through the other suggestions there. – oddrobb Aug 27 '14 at 20:25
  • Update, in case anyone finds it useful: I just had to reinstall Eclipse and the Android SDK. – oddrobb Sep 11 '14 at 12:03

If you are using windows, Open Windows Task Manager and serach for process named 'aapt.exe' and kill the same. This makes library update will start frome begining and it will continue further.

Please try the below:

Make sure that eclipse is not active. If it is active kill eclipse from the processes tab of the task manager

  1. Open %USERPROFILE%/ on Windows or simply ~ on Linux/OS X (You can locate this folder from the Desktop)
  2. Go to .android folder (This may be a hidden folder)
  3. Delete the folder cache which is located inside .android folder
  4. Delete the file ddms.cfg which is located inside .android folder
  5. Start Eclipse

I tried the above and it worked for me. Hope it works for you as well.
