I asked a similar question earlier and I followed the instructions I was given in the answer. Now I get the android option, which I was not getting earlier, as per the image below export options

I select the option: Export Android Application after which I get a message that the project I am trying to export is not an Android project. This is really confusing and I took an android development course and the project I am trying to convert to an apk is one of the first i created. The following screenshot is the message I see; Select Project to Export

When I click on the browse button all i get is a new window but nothing gets populated in it. I need help/guidance people as I am learning android development and I am still a rookie :(

I don't think yours is an Android project but it a Java project. It uses JRE to compile so it is a Java project. You are trying to export Android application from Java project.

Looks like either:

  1. Your project isn't opened yet

Right click on project name in Package Explorer > Open Project

  1. Your project may have been accidentally marked as a Library project (library projects cannot be exported as apk files)

Right click on project name in Package Explorer > Properties > Android > "Is Library" checkbox

  1. Your project may not have been imported into Eclipse yet. To do so, open package explorer and add your project into it:

To view package explorer:

Window > Show View > Package Exporer

To import new project:

New > Project... > Android Project from Existing Code > [Look for root directory of the Android project, should be the root dir containing the AndroidManifest.xml file] > Select project to import (if you have the previous step correctly you should only see one) > Select Copy projects into workspace (if you want to create a copy in your workspace folder, otherwise ensure that your project files don't move out of your existing directory) > Finish

  1. Your project may have been accidentally been configured as a Java project instead of an Android application project, if so see this SO question.

If that's not the reason why you are not seeing any projects, please let me know and provide more information (perhaps also a screenshot of your entire IDE with the Java perspective).

This is what the project properties panel should look like:

Resource, Android, Android Lint Preferences, Builders, Java Build Path, Java Code Style, Java Compiler, Java Editor, Javadoc Location, Project References, Refactoring History, Run/Debug Settings, Task Repository, Task Tags, Validation, WikiText

  • My project is open (check screenshot 1) and as for step 2 I cant find the Android in properties (screenshot2). As for step 3 I made a very simple java code as a starter in eclipse. The screenshot has the file structure. Please highlight what rookie mistake I have made. Thanks in advance :) (I have added the screenshots in my question) – shahz Mar 03 '16 at 21:28

    Found the problem. You may have accidentally created a Java project instead of an Android project. Try creating a brand new Android project to see if the options appear. – jackson95 Mar 04 '16 at 01:18
