I am trying to create a new project from existing source code. I keep getting the following error: "Invalid Project Description", project path "overlaps the location of another project" with the same name. The reason is that I created that project from the source code before, but then I deleted that project and deleted its whole directory, before adding the source code directory again. I tried everything like cleaning and restarting, but nothing worked. I looked in my workspace directory, but there are no traces for the old project. There are several questions around this problem such as this Attempting Android Notepad Tutorial - Exercise 1 - More problems, but none of the answers worked for me!

以下是我做的非常有效的方法。我只是在通用下导入了一个现有的项目,而不是导入一个android项目。

我也一直在为类似的问题而绞尽脑汁。唯一有帮助的就是遵循这篇文章中的步骤。

转到项目的。project文件,确保它显示的名称与项目文件夹中显示的名称相同。如果不是,请更改名称。它会起作用的。

进入工作空间,将项目源代码文件夹移动到工作空间之外的另一个区域(如桌面)。确保在eclipse中删除了项目,然后在该目录中从source创建一个新项目。

您可以做的另一件事是尝试创建一个不同名称的项目(来自第一个项目的源),这样工作空间将包含作为功能项目的新项目。然后,进入您的工作区目录,完全删除包含原始项目的文件夹,或者移动它。尝试再次从源代码加载项目,这次使用第二个项目,用正确的名称命名它。或者,您可以尝试将第二个项目重构为第一个项目的名称。

Suppose you have something like: /prj/workspace/prj1 /prj/workspace/prj2 And your eclipse workspace is in /prj/workspace level (i.e. /prj/workspace/.metadata). If you're having problem importing prj1 and prj2, you can either move your .metadata somewhere else (/prj/.metadata, /prj/eclipse/.metadata, etc.) or create a sub level in workspace so that it looks like: /prj/workspace/android/prj1 /prj/workspace/android/prj2 And import prj1 and prj2 again. In another word: as long as prj1, prj2, and .metadata are not in the same level it will be fine.
