将jar导入android

Question

I'm trying to import a jar named Security.jar into an Android app that I'm currently working on, however, no matter what I do I cannot get AS to recognize the package that I'm importing. I pasted the jar into the libs folder that I created for the app and synced the gradle files, as well as modified the dependancies, all to no avail. If anyone sees ANYTHING that's wrong please let me know! Here's a link to some pictures pertaining to the issue.

Answer 1

I believe that you should do this:

compile files('libs/your.api.jar')

When you've pasted the jar file in the libs folder. Give it a shot.

Answer 2

A good way to add external JARs to your Android project or any Java project is:

right click on your project .. then goto properties.. then click on java build path.. then click on libraries... then click on add External JARs.. select jar file .. click on ok
