Import android project in ADT Eclipse from github

Question

I'm trying to import an android project from github into ADT Eclipse but it doesn't find any projects in the repository when I clone it. The repo is clearly an android application project (from looking at the source) but no project is found to import. My steps are as follows:

1. In "Package explorer" right-click and select "Import"

2. Import project from Git.

3. Enter uri: https://github.com/moagrius/MapViewDemo

4. Just import master.

5. When cloning is done the following dialog shows up:

Thanks for help!

Answer 2

Instead of Selecting the "import existing Projects", just Choose 'Android Project from Existing Code'.

• For the 'root directory' click on 'browse' and select the place where you imported your project. (that master one and maybe someother)

Press Finish

Answer 3

The eclipse project files (.project and .classpath) are not part of the github repository so you can't just import it into Eclipse.

Easiest way to fix that is probably to create a new Android project yourself and then copy the files from the github repo into it.
