Attempting Android Notepad Tutorial - Exercise 1 - More Problems
Solution 1:
I had the same issue, and just got it working!
- I have no idea how to fix, I'm still getting the error, but It's not hindering me from continuing, so I'm not worried about it.
- Is very simple, you shouldn't have copied the Notepadv1 directory into your C:/Development/Eclipse directory, because, when you "Create project from existing source" it copies it there for you. So, the one it's trying to copy from is getting in the way of where it's trying to copy to.
Hopefully that makes sense, and helps.
Solution 2:
Problem 1 is because the androidmanifest.xml is missing.
Problem 2 Notepadv1 already exists in your workspace.
If I were you I would change your workspace to your Documents/My Documents or equivilant folder depending on your OS. You can do that under File->Switch Workspace->Other. Then delete what you have under the Eclipse directory. It could get messy if you update Eclipse or have multiple versions of Eclipse.
Where is this Notepad project? Is is part of the SDK? If it is I would use File->Import to copy over to your workspace rather than mess with the SDK copy. That is probably why the manifest is missing.
If you would like more help let me know.
PS. You will probably want to reinstall the SDK if the Notepad manifest is missing.
EDIT:
@Joe. I couldn't say why other tutorials worked and others didn't for definite but using the SDK as a workspace is definitely going to end up being programmatic when you are learning. My SDK is separate from my workspace. So, in a brief summary, I would keep the SDK, the Eclipse source and your project workspace in entirely different locations. And we can start from there if you want more help.
Solution 3:
Very Simple, you need to clear the workspace... to do this adopt following 2 steps
Right click on your project and select Android Tools and now select Fix project properties
Select Project from menu and now click on clean.
This will work for sure

Re: problem #2...
My apologies if it's inappropriate to cross-post an answer in multiple threads, but it was asked in a couple of places so in the interest of helping novices with the Android environment (of which I'm one) I'm posting it here as well.
I'm using Vista, Eclipse 3.7.0
I don't know what "File | New | Project | Android Project | Create project from existing source" is supposed to do but I couldn't get it to work for a set of unzipped files of a project tutorial I got from elsewhere. I kept getting that error.
I found what did work is: 1) Copy the unzipped file tree for the project to wherever you want it to eventually reside. 2) File | Import | General | Existing Projects into Workspace | Select root directory: and point it to wherever you put the zipped files, check-box on for the Project that is the one you want, then Finish
Step 2 seems to not actually move the files anywhere (even though the term 'import' implied that to me), but it seems to just make Eclipse aware of where the project is located and it uses the project from that directory.
That seems to work at least for me.
