I created one of the sample projects that come with the android sdk. When I was done using it I deleted the project and checked “Delete contents from disk”. Now when I try to create a new android project I can no longer recreate the same sample project.
Is there any way to get the sample project back without downloading the entire sdk again?
Are you talking about these? You should be able to download them again from HERE
If you are still having trouble you may find some help on this page
Check the location on your harddrive that is mentioned on the above page and make sure the app/folder is completely gone.
From the above site:
“For example, if you are developing in Eclipse with the ADT Plugin, you can create a project for the “API Demos” sample app by starting a new Android Project, selecting “Create project from existing source”, and then browsing to the
<sdk>/samples/android-<level>/ApiDemosdirectory”
