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!

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。

今天我意外地解决了这个问题:

以下2个步骤可能不涉及,但不确定:

从(Eclipse菜单)调用*“/Window/Android SDK Manager”并更新a)“Android SDK Tools”“Android SDK平台工具”包 从Eclipse菜单“/Help/Check for Updates”调用并更新Eclipse。重新启动Eclipse。

以下步骤是必要的:

From eclipse menu "/File/Import/Android/Existing Android Code Into Workspace" Browse and select problematic project/or problematic projectS parent directory. Check "Copy projects into workspace". Check "Add projects into working sets". Press finish. [Optional scenario]: If project(s) and their containing folders have been renamed with the fully qualified package names then simply click on project node parent (where you see project package name instead of project's old name) in Eclipse and rename project with old name. Eclipse will rename folder too.

Edit: Many times have passed since this answer and new Eclipse and Android SDK arrived. They have no much more problems during importing existing projects. The only thing one has to consider before importing is to move project folders(those ones one is willing to import) outside of eclipse workspace dir and then check checkboxes ("copy projects into working sets", "add projects into wokring sets") in import wizard dialog. Also I recommend doing this with latest Android SDK because it no more imports projects with dummy names and does not rename folders as it did in some custom cases.

这个问题也快把我逼疯了,但我知道原因是什么。问题是eclipse不够聪明,不能在自定义的工作空间文件夹中创建与项目同名的文件夹。

解决这个问题的方法是确保你所有的项目都在一个与你的项目名称匹配的文件夹中,否则它会直接将你所有的项目文件转储到这个目录中。您最终看到这个错误的原因是因为它认为您正在将一个项目放在另一个项目中(可能读取了项目配置文件)。

I noticed this is especially a problem when not using the default workspace path. The way I solve this problem is to just add the Project Name to the end of location. So let's say you are putting a project named "HelloWorld" into /Users/name/Documents/projects/android/, you would want to manually add "HelloWorld" to the end of it, like this: /Users/name/Documents/projects/android/HelloWorld. This would ensure that the project is put in it's own folder called "HelloWorld" and not inside some other project. Be sure that if there are any projects not within folders into a folder of the same name as the project to solve the errors.

我在Linux中遇到过这个问题,我重命名、删除并重新导入了一个项目。在.metadata的某个地方,它显然还在那里。

我最终通过以下步骤解决了这个问题:

close Eclipse
mv .metadata .metadata_orig
start Eclipse
reset default workspace
reimport projects

这可能并不适用于每个人,特别是如果您已经在多个工作区中有许多项目。但是如果您习惯了重新配置Eclipse(我每次升级到下一个Eclipse版本时都会这样做),那就不太糟糕了。

将项目源代码和支持库粘贴到任何其他新创建的文件夹中,并尝试从那里导入。这对我很管用。

将需要的代码复制到工作区文件夹之外的某个地方 使用该文件夹中的现有代码创建一个新项目 项目创建后,右键单击它并重构> Move 把它放到工作区文件夹中。(使用默认位置)
