Import project with no .project file

Question

I am trying to import a project in Eclipse (it's the Google Play services library, to use with Google Maps Android API v2, downloaded from the SDK Manager and located on my computer at <android-sdk-folder>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib).

It's not working and from what I've found, because of the absence of the .project file at the root of the project. Eclipse says "No projects are found to import".

Here is a screenshot.

Thanks for your help.

Create a new Android project from existing source instead of importing it.

Be Careful, Follow these steps and save your time

Right Click on your Project Explorer.
Select New-> Project -> Android Application Project from Existing Code
Browse upto this path only - "C:\Users**your path**\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services"
Be careful brose only upto - google_play_services and not upto google_play_services_lib
And this way you are able to import the google play service lib.

Let me know if you have any queries regarding the same.

Thanks

my solution to this was

1.- Copy and paste google-play-services_lib to your Desktop

2.- Import using an existing project

Select New -> Existing Project in your Workspace I selected Desktop directory checked copy projects to your workspace and Finish

it worked

maybe if you use the original directory it is too large path and maybe eclipse cut it (I am suposing it)

Import project with no .project file
