I just ran into this, too. I am following the example in
Hello Android, which I assume is what the others in this
thread were doing. James's solution (editing the source file) worked for me, so thank you for that.
So your solution is good, but I don't think I totally believe the diagnosis. The thing is, the directory actually
did exist before I edited the file and rebuilt. This is my first time using Eclipse, and it's very disappointing. The error message should specify the
full path of the directory it wants, and then it should be possible to create the directory and re-build, but it doesn't work until the source file is edited. It makes me wonder what is really going on inside Eclipse.
