Question

Eclipse is really bugging me with this. I have an Android project that is not in the workspace. Since Android projects don’t work correctly if you use Eclipse’s Import>existing project you have to make a new Android project from a folder on disk. If this folder
is in your workspace, it won’t work. If it isn’t it works, but then the project is located outside of my workspace folder, which is irritating. Does anyone know a way around this?

You can fix this by following this alternative import flow:

1. Make sure your project folder you want to import is in your workspace folder
2. In Eclipse, go to File → Import…
3. Click General → Existing Projects into Workspace
4. Make sure the “Select root directory” radio button is selected, and browse to your workspace directory.
5. In the Projects box, check the box next to the project folder you want to import and click Finish.

This will properly import your Android project.
