I made Android project on Windows 7 using Android SDK and Eclipse. After moving the whole workspace to Linux, I found that Eclipse doesn't recognize workspace (.metadata), created in Windows. So, I created new workspace and imported existing project to it. Now I see that layout XML files are shown without form designer - only plain XML. Is it possible to move Android Eclipse projects between Windows and Linux?
Though I still don't know why this happened, I found some acceptable workaround: use "Create project from existing source" option in New Android Project dialog. Kind of solution.

my tries
click right at my project , choose Export ---> android
---> Generate Gradle build files
I stop in this point , I cant force overriding, any one know the reason
The Eclipse IDE uses a different file structure for their android projects, as opposed to the files structure of the projects created through Android Studio. Regardless of the Gradle builds and so on.
Your best bet would be to create a new Android Project based on the specifications of your Eclipse project. And migrate the source code as required. As far as the libraries are concerned, you can add them directly to the Android Project.
I also found that this might be useful for your current situation. Help on Migrating from Eclipse to Android Studio (Projects).
Hope this helps.
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 installed Android Studio and followed the export instructions laid out at d.android.com on how to move existing Android Applications over to Android Studio. I made the mistake of thinking that I would be able to use both editors for my projects. What would be the easiest way to move all of my projects and libraries back to eclipse? As of right now, my eclipse workspace comes up empty. Thanks
you can use both at the same time but you need to do some extra work by using version control (for example git). An example of how this might work:
You make an empty project in Git. You then clon your git project to local. In the local folder you create your new Android project. You then make a .gitignore where you ignore all eclipse related files/folders. Now you can publish your project to git. Then you clone your git project to a new folder, this is where you studio edition is going to go. You then make a new .gitignore in the new folder for the studio related files/folders.
Now you have version control and you can use both Eclipse and Studio.
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*
