Solution is to select the parent directory. So if you already have a structure

parent
    project
        <AndroidManifest.xml and friends>

then select "parent" instead of "project". Use the "Browse" button instead of copy-pasting the path.

Goto:

File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace

and select the root folder of your project.

Well, after you have selected the project from the directory, and u still see the error symbol,

now dont make any changes to the directory at all, but try to toggle the radio buttons, and if possible even try to check and uncheck the check box, finally bring everything as it was..... the check box unchecked, and radio button at create an android project from existing source selected, u will see the error is gone, that happens in my eclipse
