If you are starting with a new project you can use the Maven Android archetypes to create Android projects completely within Eclipse you just need to do the following:

1. Create a new Maven Project (File -> New -> Project... then select Maven -> Maven Project).
2. When prompted to Select Archetype click Add Archetype...
3. In the dialog that appears enter "de.akquinet.android.archetypes" for Archetype Group Id.
4. In Archetype Artifact Id enter "android-quickstart".
5. In Archetype Version enter "1.0.6" and continue.
6. When prompted enter your desired project group and artifact ID, version and, optionally, set the "platform" property for the Android version (defaults to '7').
7. Set the "android-plugin-version" property for the Android version to '3.0.0'.
8. Click Finish
9. Right-click on new project and select Maven -> Update Project Configuration.
