Hi everybody!

Before you continue reading please keep in mind that I am a complete newbie in Android development. My related experience is in Java programming and in the Eclipse IDE, so please be mild in your criticism.

To the point now, I want to develop an application which extends android's open source project contacts manager. I have an Eclipse Juno environment fully setup for Android development, tested and working. I figured I should use as much code as I can find so I went herehttps://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_contacts/tree/jb-release and downloaded the source code. I then created a "new Android project from existing source code" in Eclipse. Unfortunately the project that I get is full of errors, all references to classes that do not exist. Obviously things that are needed haven't been imported. Any idea why this is happening and how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance.
