I ran into a similar problem when setting up my project in Eclipse. This is an issue with the Google API that your project is targeting. I'm betting this will fix it:

Look in the project.properties file located in the main directory of your project. The target should be:

target=android-16 (or Google Inc.:Google APIs:16)

I'm betting yours is target=android-8 (Google Inc.:Google APIs:8)? If this does not fix the issue please share your uses-sdk block located in your android manifest so we can troubleshoot from there. It should look something like this:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

Hope this helps
