How to import existing Android project into Eclipse?

I'm trying to import and existing Android project into my current Eclipse workspace. I select File->New->Android Project, which brings up the Android project dialog, I then select, "Create project from existing source", Location, Build Target and Finish.

I get the following error: Invalid project description.

Does anybody know how to get past this error?

Im not sure this will solve your problem since I dont know where it originats from, but when I import a project i go File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace. Maybe it will circumvent your problem.

Thanks, but there is nothing on the import dialog that points to an Android project. For any other type of project, that would be ok.

@paul File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace should work for any project type, including Android projects, as long as it is a valid Eclipse project.

The above path should be File -> Import -> General -> Existing projects into workspace. I imported there and it worked like a charm.

+2 A:

Solved: If you want to "Create project from existing source", you need to create a new directory and then put the project directory tree into that new directory. Then point to the new directory when importing.

*I found the solution on a Korean website, that's why I missed my first search with google.
