Apps java.lang.NullPointerException

[eforce]

When I make an Android project in Eclipse following this tutorial:

Android - Hello World

I get: java.lang.NullPointerException

When I try to open strings.xml under res/values/


Is there any way to fix this?

(Using Eclipse 3.6)

I don't understand your problem fully.

From the op, I understand that you try to click on strings.xml in Eclipse, and you somehow get a NullPointerException? Without actually running the program at all?

Or, is it that you run your program, try to access a string contained within strings.xml, and then get a NullPointerException?

I ran into this recently. This is a known bug in Eclipse and a workaround is coming (at least the post I read stated that). One way to get around the error for Android development is:

Right-Click on the file
Select Open With > Android XML Resources Editor

It should open without the error.
