IllegalArgumentException using Honeycomb compatibility package

Question

I added the compatibility .jar to my project (the one to use fragments etc) but now every time I build my app Eclipse throws the error below. I added it by copying the .jar into the libs/ folder and then used Add Jar... in the Project Properties dialog. Am I doing this right?

Answer 1

Your described process is correct. However, the Android build tools think you have added it twice. Did you also add it as an Android library project that your project is referencing, or something?
