I have been trying to install crashlytics for the passed 6 hours with no succes.
The first time it started downloading some libraries but something went wrong and I had to delete them all again. I'm talking about the ones that it places in the lib folder it creates (not sure of the exact name of that folder).
After that it simply refuses to redownload them and just sits there on the "build and launch the app" window so it can "verify" its configuration.
So here's the issue, because it doesn't download the stupid libraries i can't import them in any of my classes or use them.
Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());
gives errors ofcourse because it can't resolve "Fabric" or "Crashlytics". Why the people at crashlytics don't give you the simple option to download the jar file(s) yourself is beyond me...
In any case, here's what I've tried:
uninstalling the eclipse plugin
searching for EVERY reference to fabric and crashlytics and deleting them if relevant
deleting all contents and whatnot
deleting eclipse's artifacts.xml file
Since it's a git project I even deleted all the project files, created a new git folder and pulled them again there.
manually attempt to put some of the jars from the plugin folder in my libs folder and adding them to my build path
but nothing works... help?
Follow the steps to integrate Crashlytics to application.
If it is first time then fabric will support you in doing the setup.
https://fabric.io/onboard given option to select SDK.
Select SDK and started integrating.
Successfully able to add plugin.
After SDK restarts, clicked on the Fabric toolbar button to start using Fabric!
Logged in -> Selected project -> selected kit to install.
Follow all the steps initiated by tools.
change of android-manifest file.
add code in the java class.
add shown code to kits.properties (Eg: com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.2.2)
Final step will show you the done. (If you haven't done the three steps properly in step 6 then you can't be proceed further).

guys, with my friend started working on a school project - developing a java app for android. He started it, now it's my turn to do my job, so i got the code he already has, set up Android SDK for Eclipse and downloaded all the neccessary files and packages, but it still gives me errors and I can't even run the project.
One of the errors (the main one, I think) is that it can't import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity
If anyone knows what can I do (I've tried all kinds of solutions from the internet, but none work) I would be very grateful.
Here is a screenshot of the code
http://s17.postimg.org/8aw952lha/Capture.jpg
See if you have imported the ActionBar project to your Eclipse workspace, also, right click on your project->properties->android and check that you have referenced/linked the ActionBar project there.
If you are using a repository without the proper ignore files it is possible that you have imported your partners configurations and then have the references to the auxiliary projects broken (you just need to update that).
Hope it helps.
android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity is a support library. This allows older versions of Android (before native support for an action bar was available) to use the action bar.
Since you are having difficulty importing it, I'd assume you do not have the support library installed.
Full instructions are available here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html
A snippet for adding support libraries to Eclipse:
Make sure you have downloaded the Android Support Library using the SDK Manager.
Create a libs/ directory in the root of your application project.
Copy the JAR file from your Android SDK installation directory (e.g., /extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar) into your application's project libs/ directory.
Right click the JAR file and select Build Path > Add to Build Path.
I've spent all afternoon getting absolutely nowhere with this.
I've downloaded Eclipse, downloaded the SDK, installed the updates, but every new Android project I create something's wrong.
Firstly, it would not generate the R.java file, at all, now it does but there's a separate project it's created automatically called appcompat_v7. I don't know what this is, but it's causing problems with any other new project.
This is the error a normal project produces:
The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library '/home/omar/workspace/appcompat_v7/bin/appcompat_v7.jar'
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this. What is causing this?
EDIT
It appear this is only with KitKat, every other API platform doesn't produce ANY source files at all.... any idea how to combat this?
It's a support library which presumably your project refers to. You will need to build it as a library project in your workspace. This process is described here Support Library Setup under Adding libraries with resources.
You will find the project you need to copy in your SDK in the folder:
\yourSDKlocation\tools\android-sdk-windows4.4\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat
(It's no use just copying a jar, you must build it as a library project.)
I had this problem when I moved a project to a different laptop. I solved it like this:
If appcompat_v7 is not available in Eclipse:
From the File menu, choose New then Project.
Next, choose Android and Android Project from existing Code, then click next
Browse to find your appcompat_v7 project folder
Make sure there’s a check mark next it in the ‘Projects to Import’ list
If the appcompat_v7 project folder is not currently in your workspace, select ‘Copy projects into workspace’, then click Finish
Now that the library project is available in your workspace, it can be added to a project:
Choose your project from the Project Explorer and open the project properties (on a mac it’s in the Project menu)
Click on Android in the left list
Next to the Library list, click the Add button
Choose appcompat_v7 from the list
You should be good to go now.
My computer crashed (Got the blue screen of death).
After that I was unable to open my project again, however, it's files were still present.
So I opened a new project and created all the files again and then copied the content inside.
Everything went well except for errors in all of my java files: "R cannot be resolved to a variable".
Additional info:
My Android SDK Build-tools are installed
The new project I created has the same name exactly, except for an aditional char "3" at the end of it [example: test3 instead of test],
and I editted the menifest file properly and also every java file to
contain the propper package name.
My R.java file is present [I'm using Eclipse, Windows7]
Would very appreciate help in solving this.
It is a quite common issue when using Eclipse for Android development but for some reasons, Eclipse isn't exit properly; re-opening the project will see the error logs of R.java ....
I suggest to remove the project from workspace (don't delete local files), copy your project source code to another directory. From Eclipse, File -> Open Existing Android Project, find the project source directory to re-add into workspace. Update the SDK version and dependencies. Usually, it should be fine at this step.
For experienced developers, I guess you know how to check file lock (#ChuongPham mentioned in comment above) and check for wrong resources references in projects manually...
So I am fairly new to Java, and I am trying to add this library to my project. The problem is that Android studio 0.3.6 doesn't have a simple way of doing that and all the answers I searched either reference an older version of Android Studio, or describe how to import an external project (source code, not jar file).
After reading a little, I got to the conclusion that manually adding the jar file would be the best way (manual copy/paste and gradle edits) but as I said, I'm fairly new to this technology and don't know where to place the file nor what lines I need to add to the gradle files.
Can someone help me?
UPDATE 1:
I finally made the IDE recognize the .jar file (I get autocomplete and class recognition). The new problem is that I get the following error when compiling: Gradle: package com.google.gson does not exist. Here are the steps I took to import the library:
Creat a folder called libs in the main directory (src/main/libs should be the result)
Copy the .jar file in that directory
add the following line to the dependencies section in the build.gradle file in your project: compile files('libs/gson-2.2.4.jar'). It should look something like this now:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+'
compile files('libs/gson-2.2.4.jar')
}
Recompile the project (not sure if necessary, but I did it)
Right click on the libs folder and select "Add as Library"
Since the GSON library is available in MavenCentral, there's an easy way to add it that avoids having to download an archive file and save it in your project.
Go to Project Structure > Modules > Your module name > Dependencies and click on the + button to add a new dependency. Choose Maven dependency from the list:
You'll get a dialog box where you can enter search terms or the fully-qualified Maven coordinate string. Since GSON is a common library for Android developers to use, it's actually given in this dialog as an example, with the fully-qualified name. You can type it in:
Hit OK on both dialogs and you should be good to go.
With these Maven dependencies, the build system will automatically download the library and cache it if hasn't done so already; it takes care of that for you.
If you had a library that wasn't available on MavenCentral, you could save the archive in a libs folder in your project, and from that module dependencies dialog, add a File dependency instead of a Maven dependency to take care of it.
If you edit your build.gradle file by hand, you need to click on the "Sync Project with Gradle Files" button in the toolbar to force Android Studio to pick up the changes and update your project. If you go through the Project Structure dialog, that's unnecessary.
There are lots of conflicting answers to this issue in Stack Overflow because the functionality for this is in flux as the necessary features are implemented; it has been really broken before. These instructions should work properly for 0.3.6, and things will get a little easier in 0.3.7 and later.
I had the same issue. The new version of Android Studio (0.3.6) removed some necessary features to add an existing library to a project using the IDE. So you have to do this manually.
Adding the library into the build folder "<project>\App\build\libs\" will break the project on "menu > build > clear project / rebuild project".
Updated solution
My solution is to generate a new folder inside "<project>\<app name>\src\main\libs\" and add the library here. Now you have to change your "<project>\<app name>\build.gradle" by adding the following (my example shows the value for android-support library:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:13.0.0'
compile files('libs/gson-2.2.4.jar')
}
Now select the library in "project View" by right click and select "Add as library... > level > Global library". This will fix an import com.google.gson.Gson; issue.
Maybe you still cannot build. In this case you shall check you project module settings and see if there is an error for Gson dependency. I let Android Studio fix this issue by hitting a "small red bulb icon > add dependency" in the lower right corner of module settings dialog. Now it does not show me no errors anymore on build.
Now we have only one remaining problem: The project does lose the library reference on project close. So we have to add the library on open again. Maybe this is an issue of Android Studio 0.3.6. Mario filed a bug report.
BTW: I upvoted this question because I searched without success for a working solution in the internet. I think beginners will always fail to work with the Android developer tutorials of Google when they are forced to deal with the support library.
Update / Recommendation
Unfortunately I did not get AS 0.3.6 working properly. There are to many issues - at least when adding another module with different namespace. So I switched to the origin IDE: IntelliJ IDEA 12 community Edition. It's free and works for me. I did all the stuff in 2 hours which need days using broken Android Studio. I have no idea what forces Google to build its own IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA without additional benefits / noticeable features when the latter works like a charm.
Running Android Studio 0.4.0
Solved the problem of importing jar by
Project Structure > Modules > Dependencies > Add Files
Browse to the location of jar file and select it
For those like manual editing
Open app/build.gradle
dependencies {
compile files('src/main/libs/xxx.jar')
}
I posted the same to
importing jar libraries into android-studio
putting a duplicate here just in case you stumble into this post instead
Click on ProjectName->Libs folder.Paste that jar file into that folder.
Just refresh the project.You are done.
Using Android Studio 0.8.2, I had to do the following (supposing the library you're trying to add is called MyExternalLib):
In the "app/libs" folder on the hard disk, create a sub-folder "MyExternalLib", and copy the external library into that folder.
In the file "app/build.gradle", inside the block named "dependencies", add the line compile project('libs:MyExternalLib')
In the file "settings.gradle", add the line include ':app:libs:MyExternalLib'
Click the button "Sync Project with Gradle Files"
Create a new library module
It is good development practice to group functionality that you may reuse in other apps inside a library module. To create a library module inside the BuildSystemExample project:
Click File and select New Module.
On the window that appears, select Android Library and click Next.
Leave the default module name (lib) unchanged and click Next.
Select Blank Activity and click Next.
Type "LibActivity1" on the Activity Name field and click Finish.
The project now contains two modules, app and lib, with one activity in each module.

I am having this annoying problem which takes 10-20 seconds and sometimes more every time my android project is refreshed or rebuilt.
I searched for android forums and also in stackoverflow and but solutions does not make sense. Please give me the solution or link to it.
My android project depends on two external java libs and android libs. Tell me if you need more info.
Earlier I asked this question and it solved the problem by removing 'source attachment'. But I believe it is not a good solution because I need source to be attached with jar. It helps while debugging, code browsing. If source is not attached then, your breakpoint stops there and you can't go in readable source.
Better Solution Needed. Is there a launcher option? which disables when app launched. or build options?
Instead of attaching a source folder to the .jar file, you should zip the source folder and attach the zipped file to the .jar.
See this answer for more info https://stackoverflow.com/a/9699242/637754
The reason for this is that you have attached source with your dependent jars. Just the remove the source from the class path. This how it can be done.
Right click on the project -> Select Build Path -> Configure Build Path.. -> Select Libraries
Select the Source attachment and Remove button will highlight. Press Remove and OK.
I think that should fix your issue.
this helped me so you can try too:
Go to your Workspace root/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core/ and remove .org.eclipse.jdt.core.external.folders folder
it contains .project file with links to external folders which takes too long to refresh
You can disable "Refresh on access" option in Window->Preferences->General->Workspace - it have no effect as I think, because even it's turned on you must manually refresh projects if you modify them outside of Eclipse
If anything else fails (my case), install a fresh copy of Eclipse Juno
Go to Help-Install Software, and add this repo:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Check all options and install.
For migration reasons I was trying to install Eclipse on MAC OS Yosemite, since Android Studio is now the official IDE, it is hard to find Eclipse setups with the ADT plugin included. I tried several versions of Eclipse, and JUNO did the work.
