I had the same problem in Eclipse, and fixed it by changing the API level by...

  • Right Clicking on the project
  • Open PROPERTIES > ANDROID
  • Changed the API level down to the one I had been using up to now.

I think I was having the problem because I had just switched from API 21 to 22. I had read earlier that API 22 was trouble-some, so people were not using it.

Hope that helps.
