Android :: Convert Existing Project Into Android In Eclipse?

How do you convert an existing project into an Android project in Eclipse? In particular, I want to convert a plain old Java project into an Android Library project.
How do you open an existing Eclipse Project?I don't see an open button or a way to load an existing project.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Windows and Eclipse. Through a few mis-clicks, I removed the Android library from my project. I am able to add the android.jar file from the specific version I want but that is does not allow me to run.
In eclipse, how do I add an Android library like 1.6 to an existing project?
I've tried checking out some projects to get them to run in eclipse -- for example twitta from:
http://twitta.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
using subclipse plugin for eclipse.
It happens on other projects as well. When I checkout the project, it's not recognized as an android project (the src folder is not identified as a java source folder, etc.)
Anyway, when I try to run "convert to android project" from the context menu, I see
Problem Occurred
'Convert Project' has encountered a problem. twitta does not exist
The details text area is blank.
I'm trying to import and existing Android project into my current Eclipse workspace. I select File->New->Android Project, which brings up the Android project dialog, I then select, "Create project from existing source", Location, Build Target and Finish. I get the following error: Invalid project description. Does anybody know how to get past this error?

Deleting the file doesn't clear the error, and Eclipse won't compile the project. It just reports that your project contains errors. The solution is to go to Project/Clean. This will clear the error in the project and allow it to compile.

I have also downloaded and installed Kies for file transfer between PC and Samsung phone. I used Kies to download a free app from Android market and checked the format of the downloaded files, one is an 'app file, the other is image files.

1. created Test Library Android project, marked it as "Library" (package name "test.library.lib") 2. created Test App project (package "test.library.app") and set it to use Test Library 3. Test Library got LibActivity class which simply referes to lib_main.xml layout 4. I defined that activity in Test App manifest file:.............
I have an android project that uses ant to build, is it possible to import this ant project in eclipse IDE?
update : There is an option to create project using ant build.xml in eclipse File->New->Project->Java->Java project from existing ant Buildfile. and if the build.xml file is selected it show error "Specified buildfile does not contain a javac task"
I guess javac is declared in this task
<taskdef name="setup"
classname="com.android.ant.SetupTask"
classpathref="android.antlibs"/>
I wanted to start a new android project in Eclipse but it is not showing up when i choose file > new. I can't see any option to create android project there. And I also have android SDK too

I'm completely new to Android development (but not to programming as such). I'm following the tutorial at Android Developers and got stumped immediately.
I've installed Eclipse and the Android SDK

jdk-7u51-windows-x64.exe
I cant find "Android Project" when i go to eclipse>file>new>other>android>android project
"Android Project" is not there
While every person on youtube seems to have this

I forget to select the .java file before running an android app from Eclipse. I have a .xml selected, press Run and the projectfile breaks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a two-part question about adding a third-party library (JAR) to an Android project in Eclipse. The first part of the question is, when I try to add a third-party JAR (library) to my Android project I first get the problem of Error parsing XML: unbound prefix
because I'm trying to use a class from that JAR (and need the prefix somehow defined). What's going on?Second, (after fixing that--the answer is given below), my application doesn't work on Android and I discover via the debugger (LogCat) that the class I'm attempting to consume doesn't exist.
Caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.github.droidfu.widgets.WebImageView...
Why, when I get no compilation or linker error in Eclipse, does it have this problem on the emulator? These two questions are rhetorical for I'm going to answer them myself below. Other posts in this forum creep up to the problem and elsewhere there is discussion, but I feel that I can be more explicitly helpful for the next guy to come along.
I am trying to create a library project, I've got things working up to the point of building the application that depends on the library, but installing the APK on the emulator always fails, because the shared library is not there. (The documentation indicates that the ADT would include the library in the APK of the dependant application, but this is clearly not happening.) BTW, I'm using the package name of my library project in the application's "uses library" tag. Is this correct? The documentation is completely silent on this subject. I've been banging my head against this for two days nowanyone has gotten a library project to actually work.

I have an external jar file containing classes I want to use in my project. No problem, right? I just followed the instructions at
That is, I used the Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries panel to add the jar to my project as a library. But it doesn't work. The external library is being included in the compilation classpath, so everything compiles correctly, but the external classes aren't actually getting included in the apk. When I try to run my app, it immediately crashes with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. And looking at the apk, I see it's only 20K, whereas the external library jar is over 200K.
I've noticed that then I use "clean" from Eclipse project menu on my project I receive following error
[2009-02-19 09:55:02 - MyListView] no classfiles specified [2009-02-19 09:55:02 - MyListView] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
Project doesn't use any external jars and rather simple. If I uncheck build automatically and build it - it builds and runs just fine. I'm on MacOSX 10.5.6 and JDK 1.6.0_07. And latest android SDK ( android-sdk-mac_x86-1.1_r1.zip 79046151 bytes becf0f1763d61eedce15d2a903d6c1dd )
While compiling android project in eclipse 3.4.2, am getting The project cannot be built until the build path errors are resolved. I got a temporary solution from the blog http://www.scottdstrader.com/blog/ether_archives/000921.html
The resolution was to force a resave of the selected projects (and their .classpath files):
Open the project properties
Select Java Build Path > Libraries
Add a new, arbitrary library (to be deleted later) > OK
Wait for the workspace to refresh (or force a refresh of the project)
The error(s) will go away
Remove the dummy library
The only other references I could find were to make minor alterations of contents of the .classpath file.
Is there an example Hello Sound project for Android that will show how to create beep sounds of a variable tone and duration?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a project working in Eclipse completely, but after compiling it with ant in order to use Proguard to obfuscate the code the entire project fell apart. The project consists of a single package containing two main activities and 4 helper classes to handle databases and such. After using ant the activities work fine but Eclipse cannot find the helper classes and won't build. Even if I explicitly import the classes the error I get is
The import com.ts.routeTracking.DataHelper cannot be resolved while further mentions of the class get the error DataHelper cannot be resolved to a type. How can I get Eclipse and ant to work together?
I got the following error on error log,"conversion to dalvik format failed with error 1" How to resolve this issue?
