I've created a library for Android and now I would like to publish it. I have followed this guide and got it to work on jcenter and I'm able to use it.
The uploaded file, however, is an *.aar file.
How can I get it to compile and upload a .jar?
The Gradle project in the blog post you refer to is an Android library project, that's why it creates aar file.
For example of a Java project (that create a jar), take a look at Bintray's GitHub examples repository. If you work with Gradle, probably the
gradle-bintray-plugin-examples/publications-example/ will be the right one to begin with.

I am new to Java and trying to import an API from GitHub, to use its functions in my project. API is on GitHub as Java files, but the only documentation I can find on the web is for Jar files.
I just need to access these functions in my code in Eclipse---what do I do?
Thanks!
Your various options include:
Figure out if the jars exist in a maven repository. Typically the project will mention that in their documentation. If so, you can use a package manager like maven or gradle to download that jar into your project.
If the project does not have jars in a public repository, check the Releases tab in github. It may have jars that the project owners have built.
If those are also not there, clone the repo and build the code into a jar yourself. The project would likely have build scripts committed or otherwise docs for how to build it.
How can we get jar files/library files from Maven repo. Maven provides AAR file.
I know using Android Studio is best but I am facing some issues with my system, so for some time I have to use eclipse.
I want to get jar file/library project for this project

Please suggest me some solution.
You can download the source from here and export in to your project and if you want you can create jar easily.
The code you're trying to get is an Android library, and requires some resource to work. You need to download the res folder too from here and you need to add it to your project res folder.
I have a library that is being built in Eclipse, but I would like to upload it to jCenter to be used as a gradle dependency in an Android Studio project. I have tried building the gradle files in Eclipse, making a Bintray account, and trying to link it to jCenter but nothing seems to go through. It may be because I have not published it on Bintray, but I also do not see any option to publish it anyway.
You need to add Bintray plugin to your Gradle project. Please see the examples.
I'm trying to add https://github.com/astuetz/PagerSlidingTabStrip to my project. Looking at it, I notice that it has files in res and depends on its own R.java file. When I make it a JAR I continue to get errors because the dependencies aren't all there. I'm not sure how to get this to work.
I keep getting errors like
import android.support cannot be resolved and everything else too. I tried referencing different answers on StackOverflow but none of them yielded a working solution.
The resources won't be packaged into the JAR file. Google is working on a new packaging scheme called AAR which is supported by Android Studio.
In order to use this third-party library in your own project, you should clone it to a local repo. Then you can import it directly into your Eclipse workspace and then add the Eclipse project to the classpath of your app's project.
Download the whole source code from https://github.com/astuetz/PagerSlidingTabStrip by git tool.
On your Eclipse IDE, import the library as exsisting source code at Android option.
Add the library your add before into your project.
I'm trying to build a jar from the https://github.com/loopj/android-async-http source code but have been unsuccessful.
I also tried including the source as a library in my android project in android studio but was unable to.
I want to build from source because the jar's available in maven and in the github repo are too old and I want to use and test some of the new features available in the source.
How can I either build the jar and include the jar in my android studio project or simply properly include the source in my android studio project?
I was able to build the jar myself in ubuntu:
cd android-async-http/library
gradle build
That generated a build directory that contained a jar of the library.
Do you just need a Jar or you want to build the jar yourself. If you are just looking for the jar, they are already compiled and ready to download on this link here.
Looks like github download is not working. Use this link to download the latest android-async-http jar
