I deleted my app from package explorer and redownloaded compiled code. Put my Docs files and Drawable files in the downloaded folder. Then went to Eclipse and imported the Android project. But I get these errors: 2013-02-09 11:56:34 - BT_activity_root] res/drawable/abrasion.png:0: error: Resource entry abrasion is already defined.

I know these files were in a previous version, but I deleted the app. It was not there in package explorer before I imported. Now it does import to the usual name BT_activity_Root but again the previous one was deleted. How do I get around this? Thanks. Steve Title Comments I would have though I'd be over these by now.

Also in Eclipse, change your image type from jpg to png. Eclipse handles png better. LA Comments Hey @stevek, Looks like at first glance, you have duplicates in your drawable folders.

stevek Aspiring developer Posts: 808 Reg: Dec 24, 2011 great neck 8,080	02/09/13 12:22 PM (12 years ago) LA, I went ahead and renamed the files Eclipse was having trouble with. It worked so I'm happy. Didn't see any duplicates. Comments LA, I went ahead and renamed the files Eclipse was having trouble with. It worked so I'm happy. Didn't see any duplicates.

stevek Aspiring developer Posts: 808 Reg: Dec 24, 2011 great neck 8,080	02/09/13 01:16 PM (12 years ago) yes, but i had to rename. Though there were no duplicate files, Eclipse seems to think there are. Is there a way to search the workspace for files? I try to search function but it only seems to find text entries, not files.

Well you know they are in the drawable folders, so not many files/images in there. You can open the drawable folders on your desktop or wherever they are located on your computer and do a search in there but shouldn't have to do a search.

Don't have a solution, but you're not doing anything wrong.
