Icons and resources

your android project has resources in res folder. you can add resources by manually editing files in case of res/values/strings that is rather suitable and easy

AndroidManifest.xml

often manifest file is missing your brand new Activity or you haven't set permissions there, So keep close eye on this file as it causes you lots of problems if you don't

If your project stops building suddenly

run in eclipse menu project/clean. If that doesn't help check next files that there aren't some trash in them. This can happen whit automatic code generation for older android versions. avoid those automatic generations and code your code other way so you don't need to use them as they will destroy your project some times.

project.properties

proguard-propertise.txt

AndroidManifest.xml

and check resource files
