Project has no target set. Edit the project properties to set one

Question

When I import a new existing project into Eclipse, I get the following error message when attempting to execute as an Android project:

Project has no

Answer 1

My problem was that the target specified inside the project.properties file was not installed. It was "target=android-3", which is the Cupcake target.

I solved it by increasing the number to 8 (Froyo API) which is the oldest API level I had installed in my environment.
