Started creating with BT and downloaded source file. Went to Eclipse and click import, existing Android Code into workspace and pointed it to the folder BT created for me. But I can't go any further and get this message: Cannot import BT_activity_root because the project name is in use. Now I tried to previously create this app by hitting New but then realized that was wrong and it should be imported so I deleted the BT_import _activity _root_appname. Is Eclipse still seeing it somehow or am I doing something else wrong. Thanks. Steve Title Comments So, finished one Android app and now want to start a new one.

Click on your Project (the one that is already in eclipse) and 'right' click the mouse. Select the option called 'refactor' and then choose 'rename'. Rename your project to something closer to what it's actually called (I use the old 'com.domain.projectname' convention)... If you rename it, then it 'should' allow you import the next one. Be sure to rename THAT one too. Cheers! -- Smug Comments I think what's happening is your android project is called 'BT_root_activity' or some such... for both.
