Failed to copy Manifest

Question

I downloaded a project from git through eclipse. When I try to run my project I would get this error:

[2013-01-26 21:16:43 - FOLDERNAME] /FOLDERNAME/gen already exists but is not a source folder. Convert to a source folder or rename it.

After I delete the gen folder, I would get this error when I try to clean my project:

[2013-01-26 21:23:38 - FOLDERNAME] Failed to copy Manifest

Please help.

Answer 1

The fix is: Clean the project by going to Project > Clean.

Answer 2

1. Right click on the project > Properties > Java Build Path
2. Open the Source tab
3. Click on "Add Folder..." and select BOTH gen and src

If you are still having issues after that:

1. Right click on the project > Properties > Java Build Path
2. Select the Libraries tab
3. Click the "Add External JARs..." button. Select the API that is in your android directory (android-sdk\platforms\android-yourversion)

Make sure to Clean the project afterwards
