I moved my project from one computer to another. Now the path to the
android.jar is wrong. How do I change it.
I have looked for a solution, but all that I can find are for earlier versions of eclipse and do not work for the current version. See below:
index.php/fa/41603/0/

My current version of eclipse is shown below:
index.php/fa/41605/0/

I have went to windows→preferences→andriod and changed the path to be correct. See below:
index.php/fa/41606/0/

I restarted eclipse after this and still no joy. Note the API 19 is in the list.

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft products.

I guess you installed this:

https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/android-development-tools-eclipse

And that points at this as the support page:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android

If you use the view menu of the Package or Project explorer for Filters... and uncheck ".* resources" you'll see files like .classpath and .project in the explorer. The .classpath is where the information about the "Java Build Path" is stored. I assume the absolute path of the "android.jar" is not hard coded here, right?

E.g., for the JRE this entry is there:

classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-11"/>

Assuming it's not hard coded, then it must come from some value in the preferences...

If all else fails, you could try to paw though the files/subfolders in <workspace>/.metadata to see if the bad value is stored there somewhere...

I certainly looked for answers in stackoverflow and elsewhere. I thought that this being an Eclipse problem, I would ask here first. The Project explorer for Filters, tip was a good one, but yielded no answers. I have searched through all the files in the project and fond no trace of the offending path. It must be somewhere.

Well I just deleted it and all the errors went away. I do not know what deleting it will mean in the future. Well it did not appear to work, so I have moved to Android Studio.
