What is your minimum sdk target in the Manifest file? i.e.
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/>

New projects created with the ArcGIS New Project Wizard default to our minimum Android Build Target support level, which is currently SDK version 10 API level 2.3.3. Your reference to SDK version 8 implies you have an older version of the SDK installed. You can either add the platform to your Android SDK as described here. Or you can change the projects Android Build Target with these steps:

1. Right click the project and select Properties.
2. Choose Android from the tree on the left and select the appropriate Android Build Target on the right.

If you upgrade to v10.1.1 you will need to use Target Name Android 2.3.3.
