Android: Importing Existing Code to Eclipse

Question

THIS is a duplicate name for the question but unfortunately doesn't serve.

I'm trying to import a project called MakeToastApp. When importing, three different types of files are imported. Sometimes, only one, but it misses the src folder and the R.java files which carries the resource variables.

output

NOTE that not checking or checking is just for testing. I have tried all kind of imports but the project won't run without the src and resources. I'm new to this, read all of similar posts and need to get this running..Thanks.

Restart your environment once, check if in your working directory you actually have all the resources available. — Skynet, Dec 31 '13 at 10:55
it is importing the three projects at once, they should come together, not separated. It imports one folder by chance, no clue why the inconsistency — Atieh, Dec 31 '13 at 10:59
Try doing that one by one, also check your working directory — Skynet, Dec 31 '13 at 11:02
@ Atieh, I things your folder contains three sub folders, So it is showing total three imports. — Robi Kumar Tomar, Dec 31 '13 at 11:08
@AstralProjection did that, src folder inside the main folder is empty and there is no R.java file at all. — Atieh, Dec 31 '13 at 11:11
If you check that through the file browser (Explorer) are the files you intend to be there present on the Drive? — Skynet, Dec 31 '13 at 11:12

didn't work, res and Manifest are both in the src folder – Atieh Dec 31 '13 at 11:18
How come.. It should not be in same folder. src, res should be different folders. And manifest as well – saa Dec 31 '13 at 11:22

Not sure whether you are facing this problem. But you can try another thing instead. Create an emptry project then copy the contents to your project manually

Follow these steps:

File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace,
Then Select root directory: /path/to/project Projects->Select All
UNCHECK both "Copy projects into workspace" and "Add project to working sets"
Finish

If the problem is still exist then sure you have problem with your project. Means it is not a complete project or runnable project.

No projects are found to import. But if I import an Existing Android, it finds it. Please don't provide existing answers as I went through them all. Instead, you can find the link to the project and try importing it. Thanks. – Atieh Dec 31 '13 at 11:18
