-The most likely cause of this is that your installed Android SDK is missing the target API specified by one of the dependencies. For example, at the time of writing this, UniversalImageLoader requires the "android-16" API (extern/UniversalImageLoader/library/project.properties), however the default install of the Android SDK will usually only install the latest version ("android-19" as of writing). NOTE: While it may be tempting to add "--target=android-19" to the ./ant-prepare.sh script, it is not the correct solution. Although it may work, it can also cause strange bugs when the upstream library uses features of the earlier SDK which have changed in later versions.
