Running android application on windows, developed on linux

Question

Hi,

I'm very new to Android development.

I want to run an Android application on Windows using eclipse that has been already developed on Linux OS. I tried to copy the source/res and menifest file of Android application form linux and started creating a new project on windows. I tried to replace the source/res and menifest of newly created Project on windows with one on linux. It was unable to generate R.java file.

I wonder if java is portable accross platform then why I couldn't create and compile a new project on Windows from Linux.

Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

It is portable, I've succesfully tried it. Try to go to clean the project (Project > Clean...), to force Eclipse to regenerate it.
