Unable to import example projects from book (newbie question)

Question

I am trying to import projects from a book "Beginning Android 2" but when I choose the root directory the "Finish" button is still grayed out. I've tried importing the project from scratch with no success, and I've also tried to create a template project with the same name and everything and then importing into that (Import existing projects into workspace) but it always says "No projects are found to import".

The contents of the folder are: Res folder, src folder with .java file, the manifest, build, and default.properties files.

I am new to android dev (obviously) so I appreciate the help.

Answer 1

Create a new Android project. In the new-project wizard, choose the "code from existing project" radio button. Click the Browse button and pick the downloaded project directory. This will fill in the rest of this page of the wizard. Accept all the rest of the wizard defaults, and your project will be set up. You may also need to tick the checkmark next to the Android JAR file in your build path.
