I had the same problem as you.

In Eclipse, when you import cardview from directory \sdk\extras\android\support\v7\cardview follow the steps that are commented in "Adding libraries with resources -> Eclipse" in the official documentation: https://developer.android.com/intl/es/tools/support-library/setup.html#libs-with-res

Before adding cardview as library to your project, go to "Properties -> Android" of cardview project and add the android-support-v7-appcompat library. Don't forget check "IsLibrary".

Now, you can add cardview as library to your project. Clean both projects to refresh the changes.

I hope it helps you.
