An internal error occurred during: "Launching counter" java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

I am now using API-21 in eclipse adt. Whenever I am trying to run any program I am getting this error message.

Firstly,

parseSdkContent failed Could not initialize class android.graphics.Typeface

2nd one,

'An internal error occurred during: "Launching counter". java.lang.NullPointerException'

I have searched about this issues. I have already tried deleting .android from users folder and switching workspace. Should I move to any previous API versions ? I am really struggling at this API-21. New issues are coming every day. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Download the SDK platform for API 20 (4.4W)

Navigate to your sdk folder (should be like D:\EclipseWorkspace\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk)

Go to platforms folder -> android-21 folder -> data folder

rename layoutlib.jar (for backup purpose)

copy the same file (layoutlib.jar) from your android-20 folder to this folder

restart Eclipse
