Running android application on windows, developed on linux

I'm very new to Android development.

I want to run an Android application on Windows using eclipse that has been already developed on Linux OS. I tried to copy the source/res and menifest file of Android application form linux and started creating a new project on windows. I tried to replace the source/res and menifest of newly created Project on windows with one on linux. It was unable to generate R.java file.

I wonder if java is portable accross platform then why I couldn't create and compile a new project on Windows from Linux.

Thanx in advance.

You can easily port a Linux's Project into Window's Eclipse. All you need to do is

  • Just copy project folder from linux pc to windows pc.
  • Now import Project in eclipse from File Menu.
  • Once successful import is finish, goto folder there will be a file called .classpath in hidden manner, right click on that file and remove "read only" attribute.
  • Come to eclipse again and clean the project with "build automatic" option.
  • Your project is read to work in Windows environment.

It is portable, I've succesfully tried it. Try to go to clean the project (Project > Clean...), to force Eclipse to regenerate it.
