“AndroidManifest.xml doesn't exist or has incorrect root tag” Error

Question

I am new to AndroidStudio AND Gradle.

I imported a project from eclipse, created a module, and tried to run the project, but I got this error:

Androi         


        

Answer 1

For me the issue went away once I opened the android folder of the project in Android Studio to run the project.

So basically, because I was trying to run the Android project from the Root folder, it gave me the error. We need to run the project by selecting the android folder of the project only.

Hope this helps someone!
