I am trying to create a new project from existing source code. I keep getting the following error: "Invalid Project Description", project path "overlaps the location of another project" with the same name. The reason is that I created that project from the source code before, but then I deleted that project and deleted its whole directory, before adding the source code directory again. I tried everything like cleaning and restarting, but nothing worked. I looked in my workspace directory, but there are no traces for the old project. There are several questions around this problem such as this Attempting Android Notepad Tutorial - Exercise 1 - More problems, but none of the answers worked for me!

解决这个问题最简单的方法就是将项目移动到另一个文件夹并导入。这是因为您已经在该文件夹中有了该项目(或具有相同名称的项目)。当您删除project时,eclipse仍然保留对它的引用

我自己也在这个问题上挣扎了一段时间,我认为发生这种情况的原因是因为(对于Android)有两种方法将项目导入到工作区

1)文件>导入>General>现有项目到工作区 2)文件>导入>Android>现有代码到工作区

这里描述的错误与方法2有关。

对于方法1),如果项目已经在工作区中,只要取消选中“将项目复制到工作区”框,就不会出现重叠问题。

编辑: 还有第三种方法,在我最初的文章中没有提到。

3)文件>新的>其他>Android>现有的Android项目到工作区

而不是从Android ->现有的Android代码导入工作空间,你必须使用通用->现有的项目到工作空间。这可能是一个解决方案。

这个问题也快把我逼疯了,但我知道原因是什么。问题是eclipse不够聪明,不能在自定义的工作空间文件夹中创建与项目同名的文件夹。

解决这个问题的方法是确保你所有的项目都在一个与你的项目名称匹配的文件夹中,否则它会直接将你所有的项目文件转储到这个目录中。您最终看到这个错误的原因是因为它认为您正在将一个项目放在另一个项目中(可能读取了项目配置文件)。

I noticed this is especially a problem when not using the default workspace path. The way I solve this problem is to just add the Project Name to the end of location. So let's say you are putting a project named "HelloWorld" into /Users/name/Documents/projects/android/, you would want to manually add "HelloWorld" to the end of it, like this: /Users/name/Documents/projects/android/HelloWorld. This would ensure that the project is put in it's own folder called "HelloWorld" and not inside some other project. Be sure that if there are any projects not within folders into a folder of the same name as the project to solve the errors.

这个选项解决了我的问题。

如果你希望以以下方式从现有源代码打开一个新项目:

File -> Import -> General -> Existing Project into Workspace

你仍然有“无效的项目描述”的信息。 我只要进去就能解出来

File -> Switch Workspace

选择一个最近的工作场所。
