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!


当前回答

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。

其他回答

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.

附注:在日蚀朱诺号上测试过。

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.

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。

解决这个问题最简单的方法就是将项目移动到另一个文件夹并导入。这是因为您已经在该文件夹中有了该项目(或具有相同名称的项目)。当您删除project时,eclipse仍然保留对它的引用

我自己也在这个问题上挣扎了一段时间,我认为发生这种情况的原因是因为(对于Android)有两种方法将项目导入到工作区

1)文件>导入>General>现有项目到工作区 2)文件>导入>Android>现有代码到工作区

这里描述的错误与方法2有关。

对于方法1),如果项目已经在工作区中,只要取消选中“将项目复制到工作区”框,就不会出现重叠问题。

编辑: 还有第三种方法,在我最初的文章中没有提到。

3)文件>新的>其他>Android>现有的Android项目到工作区
