My android project in Eclipse disappeared?

Question

I wanted to create .apk file from my Android project in Eclipse, so I klicked on File --> Export --> Export Android Application. I filled required fields and I clicked finish. After that I received an error and all my application files disappear, I only have a file called "gen [Generated Java Files] and I cant open it.

I tried to search my app files manually in Windows Explorer but all is gone...

Now I don't have app files and even .apk

Where is my application?

Answer 1

Try to look for it in your workspace directory.

If you don't know where that is, click File > Switch Workspace, and you'll be able to see the location.

Or you could go to:

\eclipse_directory\configuration\.settings\

Open org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs with a text editor (eg Notepad).

Look for RECENT_WORKSPACES . You'll find the location of your workspace there.

Answer 2

Just use Free Recovery to recover your deleted file. Try it soon before anything write on that disk sector.
