Answer 1

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
