I've hit this issue as well. I don't know why it happens, but in addition to the first suggestion, I do the following so I can keep everything neatly in my Workspace folder
1) Copy the code you want somewhere else ie. copy android-source/apps/whatever home-dir/whatever 2) Create a new project using existing code 3) Once the project is created, right click on it and Refactor > Move it into the Workspace folder. Maybe someone more familiar with Eclipse/Android SDK can tell us why it's like this, whether it's desired behaviour or not, but this seems to be the best workaround I've found so far. Hope it helps.
