I am having a weird problem with Eclipse.
Some days back, I completed a project with the name IntelligentAlarm, and then pushed it to github. I was using Eclipse Indigo then. After that I formatted the system, and downloaded Eclipse Juno. I cloned this repository from github, and imported this project into Eclipse as an android application.
But now, I am unable to run it as an android application. The option which allows you to run it as an android application is missing. Neither can I create a new Run Configuration for this project, as I don't see this project in Browse window.
I should add that I am able to run newly created android projects.
What should I do ?
If you formatted your hard disk your workspace is gone. This means you have to import your cloned project into Eclipse (Import existing Android project into workspace). This adds your project to the newly created workspace. After that, if will be shown in your IDE as usual.
It might be that you have still some things to do, for instance downloading the SDK platforms and creating an emulator.
After this you should be able to run your program as an Android project.
I would re-do the android app setup configuration in Eclipse again and see if the
Run > As an Android App
option comes back.
Setup Eclipse form scratch to enable Android Development Environment. enter link description here
Then create new project from your existing code. Since you exisitng eclipse project will have the properly files it will enable any old properties.
Hope you have your old workspace.
Quick Solution: *You can try deleting the .metadata folder under workspace folder which can recreate the .metadata folder for you when restart the eclipse*

I have libGDX projects on one laptop. I need to move to another laptop. I am using eclipse on both windows laptops. I have a git repo I can push to and pull from. I know that I can clone the https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx-demo-cuboc and import it into eclipse as a gradle project. But when I try this with my libGDX projects the "Build Model" fails.
I suspect I did not export the project correctly from my source laptop.
Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong?
Update:
OK. When I exported the projects from Eclipse I exported as plain old Android projects (Export Android Application), so I figured that I should export the project as Generate Gradle build files but I get this error when I attempt to do so ...
... and yes I did this too ...
... and I still get the same error.
UPDATE: After accepting JH's answer. Thank you for your answer BTW.
I was able to copy files in the project, but with gradle one copies the files into the directory libGDX generated the base project. I was coping the files into my Eclipse workspace, which is why the files were not showing up in my Eclipse project ... I know confusing huh. Well I was able to get my project to build but whenever I launched the app if crashed at runtime (see java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native method not found: com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidGL20.glGenTexture:()) I decided to give up on Eclipse and migrate my project to Android Studio. After taking a quick look at the Android Studio I was FINALLY able to build my app and execute it without runtime errors on my new laptop!
For clarity here is what I did to migrate my project from one laptop to another.
1) I got the my code out my git repo.
2) I downloaded the latest gdx-setup.jar, 1.5.3, from the libgdx project.
3) I generated a project, being careful to use the correct values for: Name, Package, Game class and Android SDK. For Destination I used c:\Users\Me\.
4) I copied the directories android, core, html, desktop and ios directories from my git repo into the corresponding directories in the project that gdx-setup.jar created.
5) Then I started Android Studio and follow the directions found here: Migrating to Android Studio
6) updated my build.gradle to include google play service and BANG! it worked
You shouldn't have to export anything, just clone the git repository on the new computer and then import gradle project and build model.
You could even generate a new libgdx project with their project wizard and then copy the source files.
I have my project in eclipse on my old computer. I now have a new one I put android studio on. Can anyone tell me how to get my project onto my new laptop with android studio from eclipse on my old computer?
My new computer has android studio not eclipse.
First of all, you need to move the files to your new computer ;) then you have two possible approaches:
Importing the Eclipse project directly into Studio (inside Studio, via File > Import Project, and then selecting the directory containing your Eclipse ADT project).
Exporting the Eclipse project from Eclipse as a Gradle project (may need a recent version of Eclipse).
Check this tutorial for further help.
Just copy your project folder and pass it to your new computer. That's it.
Eclipse keeps all project settings in a file inside the project folder.
However, you might need to change a few paths when starting the project on your new PC if you have been using absolute paths.
I am not a dev, but have some dev experience. I have never used Android Studio before but I wanted to look at an example app. I picked one I am very interested in, but it gives me nothing but grief just trying to import it.
https://github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library-reference
Notes:
I am using the latest version of Android Studio. (1.0.2). I have added in all the SDK files needed I think.
I have downloaded and un-zipped Gradle 2.2.1.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04.
I have dealt with Eclipse for Android previously and was able to
hack someone else's code to suit my needs and actually deploy an unsigned apk.
The readme/install directions at the github don't really help a noob
like me.
Install:
I have extracted the project from the Download Zip link.
For the actual import into Android Studio I choose "Open an Existing
Android Studio Project" - because it looks like one.
I then choose the root directory created by unzipping the zip file,
in this case it is named "android-beacon-library-reference-master".
But it seems to select the project's Gradle subfolder (/gradle) for the project! Which I'm quite certain is invalid. I cannot seem to get it to use the root
folder.
What am I missing? Or is this not the correct way to "import" this particular app? Is this app not compatible with AS 1.0.2?.
TIA!
In Android Studio, close any projects currently open. You should see the Welcome to Android Studio window.
1.Click Import Non-Android Studio project.
2.Locate the project you exported from Github, expand it, select the build.gradle file and click OK.
3.In the following dialog, leave Use gradle wrapper selected and click OK. (You do not need to specify the Gradle home.)
Android Studio properly updates the project structure and creates the appropriate Gradle build file.
Can you try "Import Project" instead "Open Project". Thanks.
I'm using Aptana Studio 3 as my text editor and Eclipse for my Android developement. I'm also using Phonegap for the creation of Android specific app dev.
I don't fully understand Eclipse workspaces. I import an existing android project into my Eclipse workspace and when I make changes to the project in Aptana - the changes are not taking effect in eclipse.
Why?
BTW, I'm using the Eclipse version that ships with the ADT Build: v22.0.1-685705.
While importing, "Copy files into Workspace" is checked by default. Make sure to uncheck this. Otherwise Eclipse creates a Copy of your Sources in its workspace directory.
If This Option is unchecked Eclipse uses the existing files.
Click on the highest project, (or the files you're working on in Aptana) and hit F5. Ctrl+A in the project explorer and F5 will refresh all files
I am creating an Android Application with a team of others. Typically I use netbeans, and I have never had trouble with netbeans or svn. But as eclipse has the android plugins, we are using eclipse.
What I need to do is check in my current a android application, so that then my team members can all check it out(as an android project) and continue to develop and test on their own computers.
Current when we check out a project from SVN, eclipse does not recognized the project as an android project.
I recently had this problem too. The thing is that the ".project" file was not imported in SVN; because of this Eclipse will add a new ".project" file whenever and however you check out the project from SVN; the other part of the problem is the poorly designed "Android Project from Existing Code" option.
Solution:
- delete the .project file from your working copy
- ["optional"] move the project folder somewhere else (because the "Android Project from Existing Code" option will not work if you try to create the project in the same place)
- create new project and select "Android Project from Existing Code"
After creating the project commit the newly generated .project file to SVN; this way the others will be able to simply click "Check Out" and start working :)
Note: Make sure to also commit the other android related files (e.g. project.properties)
