根据使用Eclipse的android开发人员指南，支持库设置问题

Question

I've been through all of the subjects and all over Internet to try solving this problem, but can't seem to find any solution.

Basically I've followed every step here Support Library Setup - Adding libraries with resources , but can't figure out the last one.

Add the library to your application project:

1. In the Project Explorer, right-click your project and select Properties.
2. In the Library pane, click Add .
3. Select the library project and click OK. For example, the appcompat project should be listed as android-support-v7-appcompat.
4. In the properties window, click OK.

Now the problem is in library pane I see multiple add options (Add JARs, Add External JARs, Add Variable, Add Library Add Class Folder and Add External Class Folder)

Can anyone give me a bit more detailed explanation what I actually need to add?

The only place I see only Add option is "Projects" pane.

Cheers, DP

Answer 1

This is to add a library that u got to your android application. So you can publish your app with the library to use it.

Like Actionbar sherlock , angEngine , admob or any other library. To let your application support it, you should add it to it's project first.

And best way is to choose Add External JARS , or anything you would like.

Answer 2

First import the library into your workspace (where your androi project is). Import the library to eclipse. It is found under /sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompact .

Right click on your android project. Goto properties. Choose android. Click Add browse and add reference the same in your android project

Click add browse and add the library project

When you add it looks like below

Do it the easy way : right click your project folder in the Package Explorer or Navigator, then look for Android Tools > Add Support Library. A dialog with open to ask you to accept the license. Accept, click Install, and you're good to go ;-)
