error: The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library

[Ronald K]

I created a new project using the CLI, Cordova version 3.3.1-0.1.2.

Added platforms iOS and Android.

Opened Eclipse, made sure all SDKs were up to date.

Added a new project via File > New > Project... > Android Project from existing code

In the Import Projects, browsed to platforms/android

It presented two projects:

1. /Users/me/Documents/apps/MyApp/platforms/android

2. CordovaLib

I don't recall seeing the CordovaLib project in previous projects, but then this is my first Cordova 3.3.1 project.

Anyway, both were selected, and I clicked Finish to import them.

That's when I got the error: The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library '/Users/me/Documents/apps/MyApp/platforms/android/CordovaLib/bin/myapp-cordovalib.jar' 

There indeed is no such jar.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Perhaps related: with Cordova 3.0.0, there was a cordova-3.0.0.jar in platforms/android/libs. In my 3.3.1 project the libs folder is empty. Is that OK?

No problems with the iOS platform project.

Fwiw, I can build and run the app using the command line.

Hello Ronald!

[Ronald K]

No, still no luck. Just tried it again but got the same error.

When you get to:

It presented two projects:

1. /Users/me/Documents/apps/MyApp/platforms/android

2. CordovaLib

Don't import the CordovaLib Projekt.

[Ronald K]

After cleaning and building the projects several times, my app would finally build. Hallelujah.

There no longer is a cordova.jar; it has been replaced by the CordovaLib library. So both projects need to be imported when creating the Android project. It actually says so in the documentation for edge.

Fwiw, I found this discussion http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20659853/cordova-ant-jar-not-available on the issue.

Cheers, Ronald

Ronald,

I could not get around this problem in mine. I tried cleaning and building the way you suggested a number of times, but still no luck. Is there another trick which you forgot to mention?

Thanks,

Amit

[Ronald K]

Sorry, I don't recall the exact sequence. I think it was a combination of cleaning and building both projects, one at a time.

Good luck....

Amitava,

I was also facing this issue, quite frustrating!!!!. Followed following steps to resolve this issue:

1. Import both the project Hello and cordova lib project 
   
2. Remove the reference project(Cordova lib) from Hello Project. RightClick project-> Android-> Click reference project and Click Remove
   
3. Clean the lib project and rebuild it , repeat this steps couple of time, till you don't see the yellow sign appears to lib project(which is a warning sign).
   
4. Then again go to your Hello project and add the reference of the lib project you are done now. Error should go off by now.

If you followed the steps in this guide:
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.4.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Andr
oid%20Platform%20Guide

You will get the error after importing the two projects (HelloWorld and
HelloWorld-CordovaLib) into Eclipse.

Verify this:
Open each of the two projects and you will see that .project file of hello-
CordovaLib project generated by the steps as instructed,
does not have a Android nature. The .project file of the hello project
contains that Android nature, though.

The Solution:
Close Eclipse
Open the .project files and, by copying from the one .project file to the
other,
Change this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><projectDescription><name>HelloWorld-
CordovaLib</name></projectDescription>

To this:
<projectDescription>
<name>HelloWorld-CordovaLib</name>
<comment></comment>
<projects>

<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ResourceManagerBuilder</name>

The problem is really the missing nature of the CordovaLib project.
Start Eclipse and continue with the steps above where you left.
First clean the CordovaLib project and build it.
When you add to the hello project the reference to the CordovaLib project,
delete the one with the red cross first.

Minor correction:
The corrected .project file must begin of course with "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" like the original faulty one.

I omitted it below when doing Copy/Paste.

i also encouter this problem....my solution very simple .....in eclipse under Project ->Build Automatically.

makesure u select Build Automatically then try import the project.

I noticed whenever i didnt select build automatically i will have missing .jar in cordavalib folder.
