How do I move files in Android IDE


I'm using Android IDE to develop, and I need to move source files from one folder to another, but I can't seem to find a way to actually MOVE a file (even copy and delete in two steps would work).

Am I blind? This seems like a required feature of any IDE, and given how good Android IDE is, I find it shocking if this feature was overlooked.

NOTE: This question is NOT about Android Studio!


Solution

  • You are right. The (essential) feature to move files around is missing from Android IDE.

    Workaround:

    You can manipulate the files in any explorer. Your project files are placed in /sdcard/AppProjects/YourProject.

    You can count on the fact that such a feature will not be missing for long.
