Android/Eclipse: How to change project name on import?

This is going on my nerves for so long now... I want to import an existing android project into my workspace, but sometimes there is already an existing project with the same name (best example: MainActivity, which is the most common name for example projects in tutorials)

enter image description here

So I cannot import the new project into the workspace. Usually, I have to delete the MainActivity project A, before I can import project B using the same project name. Or (before import) I have to rename/modify the MainActivity and the Manifest.xml from project B.

I know the New Project Name field is editable, but if I change the project name i still cannot import the project into the workspace.

Is there any other workaround???

Rename your existing project (f.e. MainActivity2)

Right click on the project --> Refactor --> Rename .

Import the project (in your case MainActivity)

Open the project folder and edit the ".project" file. Just edit the name there.
