Directories rendered as packages in Intellij Idea 13?


After a rebuild of my android project i saw that the src folder and other folders(assets, libs etc) have turned into packages.(Packages in Intellij have a folder icon with a ball inside it)

Due to this, I also got errors in all files inside src folder. (for example see SearchActivity.java , 1st line).

I am new to Intellij so apologies if this sounds rudimentary.


Solution

  • It looks like the Shopper folder has been set to being a source root, instead of the src folder. To fix, turn off Flatten Packages and Compact Empty Middle Packages, right-click on src, go to Mark Directory As, and then Sources Root. Then un-mark the project folder.

    You can also do this from Project Settings.
