I'm having problems importing a new Android application into Eclipse because it thinks the project name is "BT_activity_root" no matter what. I've tried changing the project name in the BT control panel, but it doesn't seem to have an effect on the source code downloaded. Is there a way to manually change the name before importing it, so that Eclipse doesn't think I have a duplicate with another app?

Try doing an Import..."Existing Application into Workspace" instead of "Existing Android Application into Workspace." Bet that works. Mark

I always do the file-import method. Not sure what's going on - it worked fine previously, but now it doesn't. I got around it by renaming the project in Eclipse that came in as "BT_activity_root" to something more appropriate, and then importing the one I wanted and the renaming it too.

You shouldn't have to rename at all...I never have had to. There is a difference in how it ends up in Package Explorer if you do an Existing Android Project vs. Existing Project. Do you have multiple buzztouch project imported into Eclipse?

BT_activity_root is the class file that launches first when the app runs. The earlier version of eclipse had an option to change the name of the project to whatever you liked but the new version has no such option. Instead of naming the project it automatically picks up the bundle name of the project. For eg: com.btapp.BT_activity_root. As i stated BT_activity_root is the first class file which launches when the app is launched in the device or emulator so the extension of the project in eclipse is com.btapp.BT_activity_root.

For some reason, the bundle name isn't being picked up. When I import the file, it names everything BT_activity_root. Here are my screenshots of my process, showing the package that was downloaded from the control panel and unzipped, and each step in the "file-import" process that I went through, including how the folder appears in my "workspace" folder after the import is finished. Step 1 - package downloaded from BT.com: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/fk12yxq5fcs3raq/step1.png?dl=1 Step 2 - file-import, use existing code: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/a0x51etcv3iu2oz/step2.png?dl=1 Step 3 - select the package downloaded: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ww9fqfvlx9862by/step3.png?dl=1 Step 4 - package is imported into Eclipse with name "BT_activity_root" https://dl.dropbox.com/s/2ylmm014qrqs86t/step4.png?dl=1 Step 5 - folder is created in workspace folder with same name: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/r93xmsw37g2agx2/step5.png?dl=1 As you can see, this works fine for the first import, and then will issue an error for every subsequent one, since the folder "BT_activity_root" is already present in my "workspace" folder. This only started happening a couple days ago, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Hi, I've just had to reinstall Eclipse and I ended up with a new version - Indigo Service Release 1 Build id: 20110916-0149 I have exactly the same issue. Anyone got any further thoughts? John

I just import and rename. So far the only options seem to be that or to downgrade Eclipse.

Chris, same thing for me, always the same "BT_activity_root". I've been renaming the project as-well, takes two seconds, good fix. Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

I've tried using Right over BT_activiy_root, Android Tools, Rename Application Package, to rename the project. This changes the package name in the manifest but the project still retains the name BT_activiy_root in Eclipse under Package Explorer. I've had a good search and tried various other options. How can I change the name correctly, please? John.

Same problem, any workarounds for this? Renaming isn't an option as it's always picking up the BT_activity_root.java file and there's no option to rename it. Can't rename it before trying to import it either, without opening up a whole can of trouble in the project. It's the same for importing and file > new..

Right click on the project name after you import it. Go to "Refactor" and select rename. That should do the trick.

Hi @chris1, that's what I would have suggested! It turns out I had some data 'stuck' in the workspace metadata. Cleared that and now I can do the usual refactor > rename or whatever. A bit more detail here if anyone thinks they have the same problem: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=A36BD3EC1F1344FF38A1716&tid=A36BD3EC1F1344FF38A1716 Cheers.

Glad you got it figured out!

Me too! thanks!
