Hello, Thanks for this info.
I tried this process with some code that came with a book I purchased. It seemed to import fine, but when I run it, it says it can't find the .apk file – what other steps need to be taken in this case?
Thanks!

Nice.
But how can you import an Android project from an existing project in the current workspace.
Ex : suppose you work in the directory D:mobilecompass
Your project is in D:mobilecompassmycompass
An Eclipse project already exists in this directory. Consider using File > Import > Existing Project instead
Butin File > Import you don't find the android project option
