How do i checkout an android project from an SVN repository

Question

I have an android project and I have added it to an SVN repository. These are the directories/files I have added

Directories : res, src, lib,

Files : AndroidManiFest.xml, project.properties, proguard.cfg, and 2 launch files

However, when i do the following, I'm not able to create the file as an android project

1. Import project by checking out from SVN (this is a project A)
2. Using the create new project in eclipse to create the new project - steps are : Create New Projects -> Android Project from Existing Source Code

Are thee some files that I have not committed or am I doing something wrong when I'm creating the new project?

Answer 1

I spent a lot of time trying to import an Android project from a web based SVN provider into Eclipse (Juno).

Seeing how hard it was for me to find out the correct steps, I leave here my suggestion with screenshots. Enjoy!

• You must have SVN already installed and configured. No previous project is needed in Eclipse

• I already had the connection to the provider correctly configured due to previous attempts. YMYV here.

• I use SVNKit 1.7 because it will work just fine over a proxy here at work.

• Here is the most important step: make sure the Find projects in the children option is selected

• Choose Checkout as a project

• Choose whatever workspace you need

• And voilá, the project is ready to roll!

I added descriptions into the images, for your viewing pleasure. Hope it saves someone a lot of time as it did to me after figuring out the correct steps.

In Eclipse try:

Right click in project view.

-> Import

-> Enter Android

-> Select "Existing Android Code Into Workspace"

-> Select your checked out svn folder.

finish. :)
