invalid project description (in eclipse)

Question

I am new in eclipse, i am trying to open existing project and i did search a lot but i dont know what i am doing wrong. Coming from C++ visual studio finding great difficulty in opening the existing project.

here is how i am opening: file->import->Anriod->Existing Android Code in workspace -> ...root directory

I think illustrating through pic makes easier to understand that what i am doing wrong, here is my screen shots which would help to understand my problem:

at start of eclipse:

current file place in driver/folder :

the samplewideget folder internal:

enter image description here

when i select root directory it gives me error:

DO i have to select also inside folder somthing also?? soory for bad english:

This may mean there is something wrong in the .project file. Can you show us the contents of that. — greg-449
may be your take a project and import the project in same locations,so your possible to get this error — prakash
content means all files and folders? 2nd pic is the name of the folder that i want to open its files and all resources and data. — user3508182

First Check your Workspece and delete Project you import if available.and you could do is try creating a project of a different name (from the first project's source), so that the workspace will contain the new project as a functional project. Then, go into your workspace directory and absolutely delete the folder that contained the original project, or move it. Try loading the project from source again, this time using the second project, by naming it with the correct name. Or, you could try refactoring the second project back to the first's name.
