Various random ideas, and forgive me if you thought of these already: 1. Blow away R.java, assuming you copied it over with the rest of your code, and rebuild. 2. I assume your code is in a new directory tree (src/com/faberfedor/tagyourworld) that matches your namespace...right? 3. If you somehow copied over compiled classes when you set up your new Eclipse project, get rid of those too and make sure it rebuilds all from scratch. 4. Is the exception precisely on that line, or on a nested call? If it is precisely on that line, and if map and marker are confirmed to exist, then map.getOverlays() must be what's returning null. 5.
