Go to Project » Properties » Java Build Path » Libraries and remove all except your android SDK version click OK. Go to Project » Clean » Clean projects selected below » select your project and click OK I hope this will help.

Another reason is that it can be a JAR file conflict, if you have a JAR file located somewhere in your project folder and then added it as a Java Path Library. It does not show up under the Package Explorer, so you don't notice it, but it does get counted twice, causing the dreaded Dalvik error
