Android – Unable to resolve target android-8

Description :

When importing android project or creating/changing the resource file (R) the “unable to resolve target android-8′” problem can pop out.

I’m familiar with two solutions for this problem.

The first solution should work for everyone.

The reason I shared the second solution was because I was new to android at that time so I made a lot of newbie mistakes , so this was the creative solution I found .

My Solutions :

The first solution is :

• Rebuild the project in eclipse:

1. make sure there are no other problems instead of ‘unable to resolve target android-x’
2. Uncheck the Build Automatically under the Project menu.
3. Hit Clean under the Project menu.
4. Hit Build Project under the Project menu.

This solution didn’t work for me because I imported my Android project in another way.

The second solution is :

• Reimport the android project using the :
  • File -> Import ->Existing Android Code Into Workspace
