src folder empty on creating new Android project

Question

I am creating a new Android application in Eclipse. However on creating the project, src folder is empty. There is no package or Activity in src folder which I mentioned while creating the project. Also, there is no layout added in layout folder. The manifest file has no information of Activity.

I also tried importing an existing project, the project gets imported but with empty folders.

But after this we have to set preferences as we did earlier. With new ADT bundle we don't have to do so. I had also installed ADT bundle on my MacBook. There was no such issue. — Nitish, Mar 06 '14 at 06:10

Try this

"Help" -> "Install new software" and install (this will update it) from this url: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

use https://
don't use http://

For any more detail please go through Adt doesn't create default hello world but command line does

I think this is some bug in new ADT...Previous ADT was fine..Hope they'll fix it soon. – SK16 Dec 18 '14 at 06:44

I had the same problem:
The SRC folder was empty on creation of a new android project. I installed all required updates in the SDK manager. Additionally, check for new updates and use
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ as the update site (note that this is https:// and not http://).
Restart eclipse and it should work.

While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – James A Mohler Dec 21 '14 at 23:43
@JamesAMohler This is *not* a link-only answer; it's telling you to update via the specified (official, I think) update site but it contains the needed instructions in the post. As such, it is a real answer. (I've edited it to make this clearer) – Pokechu22 Dec 21 '14 at 23:45

I had the same 'error' and it appears to me if when creating the app I use in the 'application name' non ASCII characters!

Example: čžšćđ...

So do not use čžšćđ in Application Name!

And yes, I know it's not good practice to use them in programming.
