Eclipse wont recognise google play services as a project

Question

So I'm trying to add Google Play services to my project as a library but I cant seem to import it to my Eclipse. It doesn't seem to recognize it as a project. When checking what is different between this and other projects it seems like the Google play services doesn't have a .project file.

I think this is why I cant import it but is it meant to have that even though its only a library and why didn't the Android SDK download the .project when getting it?

Answer 1

It looks like you have specified the path incorrectly ie you have drilled down too far in the directory hierarchy.

The correct path is Android ...android-sdk...extras...google...google_play_services

(From that level in the hierarchy you will see the assets, bin, gen, libs ... folders and of course the .project file.)
