Android Hello-World compile error: Intellij cannot find aapt
It appears that the latest update to the r22 SDK release moved aapt and the lib jar from the platform-tools to the build-tools directory. While we wait for JetBrains to release an update, here's a quick fix using a couple of symbolic links:
From your AndroidSDK/platform-tools directory, run the following:
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/aapt aaptln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/lib lib...and IntelliJ should be able to compile as normal.
update your IntelliJ to 12.1.4 by using beta releases as the update channel
In Windows it is enough to copy only aapt.exe, lib\dx.jar and dx.bat
from build-tools\android-4.2.2
to
platform-tools
