title: difficulty in importing the facebook-android-sdk into eclipse
body: <p>I try to follow the facebook-android tutorial from here: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#sample">https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#sample</a>
  I am working in windows 7.
  I have installed the Git and cloned the GitHub repository running this command in the git Bash -> git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk.git</p>
  
  <p>Everything seemed fine and I got the folder “facebook-android-sdk” in my “Users” folder.</p>
  
  <p>But when I try to import the project in eclipse workspace so to use it as a library I cannot make it work. I’ve tried 3 things:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Create the project from existing source (as the tutorial says), when I browse to the “facebook-android-sdk” folder and create the project, I get this message in my cosole: [2011-12-04 14:01:49 - com_facebook_android] AndroidManifest.xml file missing!
  Also in the package explorer, the src folder seems to be empty. </p></li>
  <li><p>If I try to import the project when I browse the folder I get a message “No projects are found to import”</p></li>
  <li><p>I also tried to make a test project where I copied all the classes of the android facebook sdk so that I can use them. It worked up to a degree, but it does not seem a proper thing to do.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So what do I do wrong? Is there something else I should do using the git repository (I am completely new to git)? Or is there something wrong that I do when I try to import the project? I’ve searched the problem here and in other forums but didn’t find a satisfying answer (or maybe I did not understand it). Please help!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I've tried one 4th thing</p>
  
  <p>4: I extracted the jar out of the project I created in 1 (even if it had an error). It is working in terms that I can compile the code of the facebook-android tutorial step 6.2 - <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#sample">https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#sample</a>. So far it seems that everything goes ok. But I do not know if this is right or I should have problems in the future.. </p>
