first go ahead and refresh your project so eclipse would re-sync any external changes to the file system, then to avoid facing this again because you probably will! go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace Now check:

Refresh Automatically

or

Refresh using native hooks or pooling

one more thing try to give up on eclipse and download android studio, it is much much better.

Essentially what is happening, is that you change things externally which Eclispse cannot keep track of, hence I am guessing your .project file was moved.

A way to solve this is to refresh your project folder, Project > Refresh. For more information

Or try the refresh using native hooks or polling method which is described here

If worst comes to worst I would suggest recreating your project file and copying all the files over to the new project.

I hope this helps
