Eclipse hangs at the Android SDK Content Loader

android eclipse macos

This is the solution I found which works correctly:

Make sure that eclipse is not active. If it is active kill eclipse from the processes tab of the task manager
Open %USERPROFILE%/ on Windows or simply ~ on Linux/OS X (You can locate this folder from the Desktop)
Go to .android folder (This may be a hidden folder)
Delete the folder cache which is located inside .android folder
Delete the file ddms.cfg which is located inside .android folder
Start Eclipse

Hope that this will work for you.

android eclipse macos

Same problem, stuck at 0%. Ran

/Applications/eclipse/eclipse -clean

and everything worked great again. Modify that path for linux boxes.

Update (from the remark from @Janusz )

For mac users with eclipse outside application directory your clean command will looks similar to:

path/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse -clean

android eclipse macos

Go to your workspace directory \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects and delete all the projects in there.

Note: You are not going to lose your projects
