Android - Constructor not visible BUT *.java copied from old project

Vote count:

at work I got an old Android project that I am using for a new project. From the old project I copy

Sensor.java

in my new project. I do this simply with copy-paste in the Eclipse Package Explorer.

The Sensor.java contains a class with an empty constructor, both public:

public class Sensor { ...

public Sensor() {}  ...}

However, when I try to call

Sensor sensor = new Sensor();

the compiler tells me "The constructor Sensor() is not visible", but the exact same thing worked in the old project... I'm clueless and I googled the problem but I can't solve it. Everything is public, so it should be visible, shouldn't it?
