I dont want to put may library resources in my code project.

Answer 1

One way to do this is

Build your project then copy the jar from bin (for this your project should be a library project)

Answer 2

Jar files cannot include resources like layouts, drawables and strings. You have to link the library as a library project to your non-library project.

First make sure your library project is marked as library , then import the library using the steps from here .
