How to create a new activity in an android project without creating it under an example folder

Question

Whenever I create a new android activity in eclipse using Mac the activity is created under an example folder. Like src.com.example. What I would like to do is create an activity under a pre-existing folder. like src.com.already_created_folder. How would I do this?

Thanks

You can just copy the source files (by selecting them, and hitting command_c, then paste them in your other created folder.

A better alternative would probably be to just rename the folder to the name you would like. To do this:

right click on the folder you are wanting to rename
select 'refactor'
select 'rename'

I've tried just moving the activity to another folder but when I do this it does not recognize R anymore like when I use findViewById(R.id.some_id); there is an error for R. – jacobduron Mar 28 '13 at 21:13
Then use the second method I recommended (the 'Refactor' menu). And then you should do a 'clean' compile. – Booger Mar 28 '13 at 21:16
