Importing Sources

With the project open in the SDx IDE, you can import source files to add them to the project. To add files, right-click the src folder in the Project Explorer view, and select the Import command.

TIP: You can also access this through the File > Import menu command.

This displays the Import dialog box, which lets you specify the source of files you from which you are importing. The different sources include importing from archives, from existing projects, from the file system, and from a Git repository. Select the source of files you will be importing, and click Next.

The dialog box that diplays depends on the source of files you selected in the prior step. In the following figure you can see the File System dialog box that is displayed as result of choosing to import sources from the file system.

The File System dialog box lets you navigate to a folder in the system, and select files to import into your project. You can specify files from multiple folders, and specify the folder to import files into. You can enable the Overwrite existing resource without warning to simply overwrite any existing files, and enable Create top-level folder to have the files imported into a directory structure that matches the source file structure. If this checkbox is not enabled, which is the default, then the files will simply be imported into the specified Into folder.

After adding source files to your project, you are ready to begin configuring, compiling, and running the application.
