Error: Android Source Generator: Cannot parse SDK
android, intellij-idea, sdk
Solution
Just came across the same issue (same setup but running Win7), here's what solved it for me.
In the Project Settings dialog Platform Settings -> SDKs: set Java SDK to 1.7 (didn't work with 1.8) Project Settings -> Project: set Language level to 7.0 or below
Problem
Situation: I'm using Intellij Idea (13.1.1 on Win 8.1) and wanted to get started with Android development again. Therefore I just downloaded the latest Android SDK (also started the SDK-Manager and downloaded the suggested tools), created a new Android Application Module in Intellij and set the just downloaded Android SDK as Project SDK. Now it looks as follows: Project Settings: Project -> Project SDK: Android API 19 Platform (java version "1.8.0") Modules -> Dependencies: Module SDK: Project SDK Modules -> Dependencies -> Export: Android API 19 Platform (java verion "1.8.0") Platform Settings: SDKs: Name: Android API 19 Platform Build target: Android 4.4.2 Java SDK: 1.8 Problem ..but whenever I try to run `MyActivity.java`, it throws these errors: ``` Error:Android Source Generator: Cannot parse SDK 'Android API 19 Platform': unknown target android-19 Error:Android Source Generator: [TestAndroid] Android SDK is invalid or not specified ``` Well, I googled a lot but I have no idea what I should do, since everything is set up right as I guess. (But if I use the downloaded sdk with Eclipse it works fine. Don't judge me, but I prefer using Intellij Idea). Any ideas?
