I'm having an issue on my Windows 7 64-bit machine with aapt.exe. It is throwing the following error:

aapt.exe has stopped working

Its not project related, Since i've tried multiple projects, it seems to happen with any workspace in Eclipse as well. New project or old project it just keeps failing when building and running my application.

I'm using the latest JDK-6 with the latest Android SDK 22.0.1, with Build Tools and Platform tools.

Deleting the entire SDK and Eclipse and unziping and resetting up doesnt seem to resolve it either.

Any ideas?

Remove id from style like here @+id then build again you get success...

<item name="android:id">@+id/calender</item>
