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!

以我为例,当我打开Eclipse并将计算机设置为睡眠模式,然后醒来工作时,我出现了错误“无效的项目描述”。我需要做的唯一一件事就是关闭我的Eclipse并再次打开它。 我看到当打开Eclipse并让计算机进入睡眠或休眠时,会犯许多其他奇怪的错误!

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。

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

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。

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.
