android-sdk-windows\samples contains various samples. Is there a mechanism to eclipsify all samples as android eclipse projects, so that it can be viewed in an Eclipse environment.

To import a sample project go to: File >> New >> Other >> Android >> Android Sample Project

When you use the Android SDK Manager to install the samples, Eclipse will recognize the path and will provide you with a list of Sample Projects installed in your computer.

Try this in ADT.

File --> New --> Project.. --> Android Sample Project(Inside Android) --> (Select your build target) and finish. If you installed the sample projects, it will show the list of projects. Select and open.

In Eclipse Juno you can go to File - New Project - Android - Android Sample Project. You need to select a build target and then just select from a bunch of sample projects which you should have downloaded using Eclipse-Help- Install Software etc. All the sample projects show up with the Droid icon. Hope this helps.

You can't do them all at once - you have to do them one at a time. The answer from @Trev16v provides the steps; repeat for each sample of interest.

Assuming eclipse is setup with the Android ADT, you should be able to add a new Android project and point it to the existing folder.

You can use File -> New -> Android Project and select 'Create project from existing source' to import an existing project. However, sometimes it's headbangingly annoying to get it to work right.

In the New Android Project dialogue there's also a radio button option 'Create project from existing sample', which, coming to think of it, is probably what you want to use in this case.
