Android R.java doesn't generate

Question

I've just updated the Android SDK to version 22.0 (well, more like a fresh install) and started a new project in Eclipse. I went through the project wizard and everything went fine but then I realised that it didn't generate the build files (neither BuildConfig.java nor R.java).

I searched a bit and found others with similar problems and someone pointed out that after updating a new package should be available called Android Build Tools. I had installed them as well and BuildConfig.java generated afterwards but I still don't have the R.java.

Some suggested cleaning up the project, editing manifest files and manually adding an R.java file so it would revert back to a generated one but none of these worked, though it showed a warning message in the IDE console when I edited the file but it didn't actually do anything

Do you have dependencies to other JAR files in your project? if so, go to project references and put a "V" near them. that helped me. tell me if it worked. — Sean

It's one of the most common problems in ADT 22. Try this or this. Edit: added the other solution. — Krauxe

Go to Windows->Android SDK Manager
Download or update Android SDK Build-tools
Open your project's properties
In the right panel, choose Java Build Path
In the left panel make sure that Android Private Libraries and Android Dependencies are checked.
Clean and rebuild your project
