Confused about Min SDK Version

I am referring to the http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/testing/activity_test.html regarding activity testing.

My avd is showing platform-2.3.3 api level-10.

In eclipse when i click on create new android project and select create project from existing source and then browse to the samples\android-8\Spinner it prefill the Min Sdk Version with 3 and when i select the target platform 2.3.3 api level 10 it shows following warning:

The API level for the selected SDK target does not match the Min SDK Version.

I have checked the spinner manifest file it contains 

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/>

I have tried different combinations like changed the sample folder and changed the target but it shows the same warning.

I want to know how to rectify the warning so that my sample run?

Please help me on this

The app uses level 10 sdk I guess and the minsdklevel specified is 3 that is the reason for the warning. This warning can be ignored.

You can run the app on any version of android with level >= 3 as long you dont use any api calls which where introduced in level 10.
