eclipse - Android L parseSdkContent failed Could not initialize class android.graphics.Typeface

Question

Hello recently i updated to Android L sdk. Now whenever i open new project dialog i'm getting this error.

parseSdkContent failed Could not initialize class android.graphics.Typeface

I have seen many questions already answered on stackoverflow but the solutions mentioned didn't work for me.

• I have tried deleting the .android in folder C: drive and restarted eclipse.
• I have also tried re-installing the new version of Android ADT plugin through Help->Install New Software in Eclipse as mentioned at http:developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
• Whenever i check for new updates in Eclipse it shows "No New Updates Found".

But still i'm getting the same error.

The update issue is probably related to your parseSdkContent issue, since "the update mechanism in the ADT bundle is broken" (Comment 66). This means that Eclipse have not updated to be compatible with the new Android

I had the same problem when I wanted to update my Eclipse to prepare it for Android L, so I downloaded the new adt zip, then came accross the other error, and after deleting my .android folder, I am no longer having issues.

The new bundle can be found on the android developer site, and here is the link: Android developer site
