Try this. When importing,

Uncheck the copy projects into workspace checkbox.

Then click refresh button.

@PareshMayani Actually not. I'm also faced with same problem. This is how to i solve it. – Bishan Aug 21 '13 at 09:06
Do you have previously opened project with same name in Eclipse when importing new project ? You can't open two projects with same name at once. you have change name of one project. (ex: Project_01 and Project_02) – Bishan Aug 21 '13 at 09:36

You may have project with the same name or this issue is being raised due to the same of name of Main activity the particular you are trying to import.

For example: Most of the project has MainActivity.java and if you try to import it then it shows the same error.

Yes while importing project name, change activity name to different name. – Paresh Mayani Aug 21 '13 at 11:30

okey ...please change the names of the projects, each project in eclipse is identified with names ..don't just rename the project folder, instead right click on the project in package explorer and rename from Refractor

Just delete the .project and .classpath file from your existing folder from where you are importing the project.

You mean for the new one or the old one ? – dexter87 Aug 21 '13 at 09:35
The project let say if in "A" Folder. copy the project into B folder and remove stated files from B folder and then import the code from B folder. – Anchit Mittal Aug 21 '13 at 10:01

Go to workspace folder, create a new folder and paste your project in that folder. Go to eclipse and import the project from file Menu, make sure Uncheck copy projects into workspace before importing.
