Answer 1

When I checkout an android project use Android Studio, I see the same problem. I try to new an Android module in the project, then the problem solved.

Answer 2

you must open Project Structure modified something.

example: Project Structure > Facets ,you can see this is:

delete ".idea", like this

ok, IDE there find AndroidManifest.xml

Answer 3

Open the Gradle Sync tab, check for any errors there. If there is a link to "Install Repository and sync project" click it to install the missing components.

Answer 4

If you are using Maven, backup the project and close it. Open IntelliJ and select Open..., choose the pom.xml file and then select yes to open this project. Because there is already a project a popup should appear, choose 'Delete Existing Project and Import'.

Note: I'm using IntelliJ Community Edition version 13

I believe this question is a duplicate of this question: AndroidManifest.xml file not found

Answer 5

Go to the directory where you have installed Android SDK. There, go to tools directory. Note down the path of tools directory.

Open command prompt/terminal, and cd to tools directory:

cd <tools directory path>

Run command:

android update project -p <path to project directory> -n <name of project> -t android-15

To create a new project:

android create project -p <path to project directory> -n <name of project> -k <package name> -a <hello world activity name> -t <android version like: android-15>

Answer 6

Simply, Move your project folder to default project directory

/home/USER/AndroidStudioProjects/

This solves my issue . Hope This helps!!!
