I am trying to import the projects I made on other machine. So I copied the workspace folder from other machine into current PC and replaced the default workspace folder that was created when I installed fresh eclipse. After replacing workspace, when I try to import the projects from the workspace, I get error "Invalid Project description".

  • What should I do to import all my projects in eclipse? Thanks

I've found that when I try to import an existing project into my workspace, it only works if I select the General->Existing Projects into Workspace. If I select Android->Existing Android Code into workspace then I have an issue where it doesn't import properly.

Maybe you are facing a similar issue.

Try the following:

 File >> New >> Android Project

Then choose:

 Create project from existing source

And put your project path

  • Rajesh- don't copy and paste other people's solutions. Deep link, like this; http://stackoverflow.com/a/5450375/1348379 – BrantApps Aug 29 '12 at 11:50

  • I stand corrected. It appeared to me to be insufficiently referenced despite the original question (not suggested answer) being linked to. Hence my deep linking comment. – BrantApps Aug 29 '12 at 12:11

File->Import->General->Existing Projects into workspace This works perfectly. Try it.

For anyone, if the above doesn't work for you, you may want to check that the .classpath and .project files are there. I had a similar experience where I was trying to import my project files' from my svn working copy. However, it shows up as a greyed out unselectable project. Copying .classpath and .project file from a local backup made it work.

I was facing same issue.

Eclips cannot import project if it is already exist in workspace. Double check if you already have a project with same name.
