Importing existing Android project in Eclipse - android

I'm getting an error from Eclipse when I try importing an existing Android project.
Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.4' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties.
I did fix the properties and set the compiler level to 1.6 as well. But I'm still getting the same error. Now what should I do?

Try with the following steps. I was able to get it to work today using Eclipse Indigo
Create New Workspace -> Open SDK Manager -> Update the SDK -> restart the eclipse -> Import the project to this workspace -> right click on Project -> Android Tools -> Fix Project properties -> restart Eclipse

For me it boiled down to something I would consider an Eclipse or ADT bug: this problem depends on where the workspace was created!
The problem did not appear when the structure was like this: workspace\project.
The problem did appear when the structure was like this: workspace\somesubfolder\project.
Specifying project specific settings (which is what fix properties does) seems to work around that bug and is maybe a good approach anyway.

Doing Project -> Clean... fixed it for me.
My eclipse had stopped working so I cleaned workspace directory and after I run eclipse when I import the project I had this problem. Other solutions suggested here didn't work.

Cant start a new project in Android Studio, nothing happens

I am new to Ubuntu and Android, and I tried to install Android Studio and succeeded in that matter, but when I click Start a new project nothing happens. I tried reinstalling, but it didnt help. Any ideas?
EDIT:
i managed to create project manually using terminal, but in android studio I still cant create project nor edit existing project (some IDE error is thrown)
You should be more specific (screenshot or quotes of error), so try this:
In Android Studio, go to Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project
Structure -> Platform Settings (SDK) choose the Android SDK, set the
build target and click on apply.
After successfull installation of Android studio,sdk and jdk i was not able to open new project in Android in Android Studio on windows 7. This got resolved by doing the below settings,
Configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure -> Platform Settings (SDK) choose the Android SDK >click Apply and Ok.
You are good to go. Please note that you need jdk 1.7 to work with Android studio.

android studio new project missing folders

I have created a new project using the latest version of Android Studio (0.2.2), this is a fresh install of studio. When I am in the project explorer view, it fails to show me any folders for my project. I should see a root project folder, and within it the .idea, gradle, and module folders, but they are not showing.
Here is what I expect to see (taken from the sample project created on first boot):
But here is what I see immediately after the project's creation:
I cannot figure out how to expose my project's folders! I do not want to develop without the project explorer, it's simply too much of a hassle. Did I create the project incorrectly, or am I missing some not-so-obvious setting somewhere?
Thanks.
The problem here is that I assumed android studio would create a module for the application. I assumed this because it asked me at the beginning for app name, module name, package, sdk info etc.
This assumption turned out to be false. You must create your first module manually through File > Project Structure. After that is done, the project explorer shows the files.
File -> Project Structure -> Modules
Add Button (Green plus button) click -> New Module Select
New Module window -> "Content root" change path button click to select "Project root file path"
Apply to change save and "OK" button exit.
In the project Explorer there is a drop down menu where you have selected project, now change it to project files.
I hope this will solve your problem. reply if it didn't.
You have created a new gradle project not a new android project.
Update your android studio tools to 0.2.3 - Go to Help menu - select check for update.
then Update your android sdk tools, android support repository, android support library and android build tools using android sdk manager.
And update some configuration in project structure. Go to File menu->project structure -> in projects tab select Android SDK as default sdk and in SDKs tab set correct path to updated android sdk.
Now restart android studio and try to create a new project and it should work fine.
(Noted for posterity) I had a similar issue come up recently, when importing an Eclipse android project. The issue was that the source folder wasn't added as such. I had to manually go into Project Structure -> Modules -> Sources and make sure that the "src" folder wasn't excluded and was marked a source folder.
Although this question is asked years ago. But now following simple solution worked for me.
Clicking 'Sync Project With Gradle files' makes all directories visible.
I had this exact same issue, there are some problem if you upgrade from 0.1.9 version to 0.2.0 in Windows.
Android Studio 0.2.0 Release
The solution (which worked for me) was to completely uninstall Android Studio and reinstall the 0.2.0 version.
I had the same problem today. Additionally, the IDE posted an "Assertion Error" into its event log.
Downloading and reinstalling the preview version, then applying the patch to 0.2.6 worked for me.
Change the SDK to a level that you have installed in the SDK manager. The SDK manager can be accessed from Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager. For me, Android Studio was packaged with API Level 17 but the new project wizard tried to target API Level 18.

The project was not built since its build path is incomplete

Every time I try to import a project downloaded from googlecode into Eclipse but I get some errors:
The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot
find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the build path then try
building this project
Unable to resolve target 'android-10' (this changes from 1 to 15)
I've already checked the other answers on the site but no solution worked.
In
Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries
there's 1 item:
Unable to get system libraries for the project
Right click on project -> Properties -> Java Build Path (From Left List) -> Libraries (Tab) -> Add Library (Button on right) -> JRE System Library -> Next -> Workspace default JRE -> Finish
This should solve at least one of your errors. Any others might require you to add further libraries.
Close eclipse and re-open worked for me. You may have to do this two or three times. Each time give it a minute for the auto build startup process (check bottom right hand corner) to complete, as these errors often disappear at this time.
Or try to clean the affected projects.
'Turn it off and on again'
It seems that you lack JDK (java.lang.Object comes from there )
The problem is that you used the same Android API on different PC. Eclipse is lost with path names that are differents but with same API.
To solve it, first re-select Android API version (set to another one and valid, then restore the on you want and validate it -> it will force Eclipse to reload API).
Then go into project->properties-> java build path. Then remove "Unable to get system library for the project" then "Add library" and select "Android Classpath container".
Initially I was trying to import an android project from github and encountered the above problem
cannot configure build path
unable to get system libraries
Package Explorer -> Right click the project -> “Properties” ->
"Android" -> "Project Build Target" = 2.3.3
Note: Also try Clean (On Windows: Project -> Clean) then Refresh (F5) at random. There's a good chance this will magically solve all your problems.

None of this worked for me. I created a new workspace for the projects. That worked for me! Switching to a new workspace usually miraculously solves a lot of these configuration problems. Simply create a new folder where you would want your new workspace to be and then use 'import project from existing code'.
Goto eclipse → Preferences → Java → Build path.
Do you see a JRE_LIB configured there? If not, add JRE_LIB from JDK/jre lib location. These can be overridden per project. It seems your eclipse isn't aware of Java libraries.
I have seen such errors in past while importing projects in eclipse. The solution to that is to go to properties->Android and select project build target appropriately (Android x.x.x or Google APIs)
Was struggling with this while trying to load the Vuforia Sample App for way too long today. The solution that finally got my project to build was:
1) Window->Android SDK Manager and Install the latest updates
2) Project->Build Path->Configure Build Path->Android and under Project Build Target mark Android 4.4.2 and click OK
3) Clean, Build and Run
I hope this solves somebody else's issue as well, Eclipse is frustrating as F$##!!!
I encountered with the similar problem.....
Make sure that
You create your project within your workspace. If your project is not in the default workspace where .metadata folder within which other plugin folders, and etc. will be present, then it will ask you to configure build path as the project is not build because of incomplete build path.
If the first step is clear, then go for this.....
Right click on your project -> build path -> configure build path -> libraries -> Add libraries -> JRE system libraries -> Apply and close.
I've had similar problem. Exact same error, but in Ubuntu after I worked on project in dropbox folder from Windows.
I've just added android.jar to project. Somehow it disappeared from build path.
For me this problem was related to OpenJDK 6 on Ubuntu.
Update your JRE or install Sun's proprietary JRE instead and restart Eclipse.
I know this is too late. but I am also facing this issue and I fix this by following below steps.
This issue is occurred only if the project shared between different machines.
For me I found java JDK is the problem.
My colleague used mac system and using jdk 1.7. but in my system I used jdk 1.6.
I guess that may be the issue. So I select project and open properties and change my jdk to 1.7
Change target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:19
Clean & Build
Finally issue is fixed. I think this is because of If you build your project with higher JDK version thereafter you should build with same version.
NOTE : we are not facing this issue before until my colleague build with JDK 1.7. After he started to using JDK 1.7 only this issue occur.
Hope it will work for some one. And no need for install new eclipse.
I had my "Build Automatically" turned off in "Project". I turned it off, because the Eclipse was not loading the projects correctly, for various unknown reasons. Turning this on, solved my problem.
if the project is not very big, you can copy the packages and paste it into a new project, you won't see the errors in the new project.
I was having target-18 in my project.properties. But I wasn't having android-18 sdk. So I changed 18 to some other version which I had in my SDK manager, and it fixed the issue.
You just exit eclipse once or twice to reload. It works for me.
Steve's answer does help for some projects, but still, for some projects, it remains the same. I guess that projects were previously build-in early JDK 1.5 (in my case). But I found a workaround for them:
Find the class that causes the problem (Keep expanding the project in the Package Explorer).
Copy the class's contents after the import block.
Delete the whole class.
Right Click on the project then Android Tools >> Fix Project Properties
Create a class with the same name under the same package the deleted class was before. (If the project is imported and the deleted class was an Activity/Service/Provider/Reciever, I guess the class is already included in the AndroidManifest.xml).
Paste the content of the class and import packages.
Clean the project.
I had to delete R.java in the gen folder, then do a clean build. This solved my issue.

Gen folder is empty for Android project

I'm starting to learn Android in Eclipse. But every time I try to create a project the gen folder is empty. So I don't get the R file(or whatever else is in that folder, if anything). Clean does NOT work. There was never an R to begin with. Do I need to download something to make it generate it?
had the same problem. Check in the Android sdk manager, tools and check if you have installed android sdk build-tools. had the same problem because i hadn't installed it.
I had this problem because I had two projects in the same folder and one was the library of the other. Then Eclipse built the projects in the wrong order. What I did to fix this was close the non-library project and then open it again (after the built of the library project), which made it work.
None of the solutions posted here worked for me: Clean, changing options, build errors, etc. The problem was caused by importing the Android project as a normal project, i.e. using:
Import > General > Existing Projects Into Workspace
instead of using
Import > Android > Existing Android Code Into Workspace
One of those
Getting rid of 'import android.R' line.
Cleaning the project and then building it again.
Closing project and then opening it again.
may help.
May be your problem was related to incorrect target build settings.For example if you use an element in your layout that is available in greater Android targets.You can see more details here.
STRUGGLING FROM THIS BUG FROM LAST TWO DAYS. FINALLY SOLVED IT :)
The best way to get rid of this is to go to WINDOWS option on the tool bar -> ANDROID SDK MANAGER -> and tick TOOLS option on the top tools bar (i.e. all all android sdk tools , android sdk platform tools , android sdk build-tools.) and install.
After updating all these too latest versions , go to HELP and hit CHECK FOR UPDATES and install all these new version plugins.
Last step is to go to PROJECT option in the tool bar and uncheck the BUILT AUTOMATICALLY option and go to CLEAN and perform clean on required or on all projects.
I know this method might consume some of your net mb's but will definitely solve your problem.
E.njoy...:)
I ran into the same problem. I had incorrectly set the path of the Android SDK. Setting the path in Windows -> Preferences -> Android did the trick for me.
I had the same problem. Just add these two line in your project.properties file
target=android-19
android.library.reference.1=../appcompat_v7
I happened to have the same problem, solved by "Right click on your project and then click Build Project".
Try this,
Right click your project
Select properties.
Select Java Build Path
Click add Folder
Select the gen folder
Click OK.

Android eclipse ADT 'find references' bug

my setup:
Eclipse 3.6.2, ADT 15.0
android library project B
dependent android project A
With ADT 12 it was possible to use
-> right-click -> References -> Workspace
on a symbol of library B to find references of this symbol in the project A. This does not work anymore. Is there a workaround? Do you have the same issues? (Same applies to renaming, aso.)
I think checking your build path jars should solve the issue. If it doesn't try upgrading eclipse. I think that solved my problem.
