I want to create a GridView like GooglePlay.
I found this library on Github. I don't exactly know how to include it to my project. I tried to add it in "Build Path", but it doesn't work.
Is it possible to export it as a jar file?
You will have to import library directory as a project in your Eclipse just like #ssantos said in the answer. However you have to do one extra thing to make it work.
All the code is in a sub folder called "java". You have to right click on it and make it as source folder.
For more information you can look at the official guidlines https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/cardslib/blob/master/doc/BUILD.md
It seems you can find the library project here.-
https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/cardslib/tree/master/library/src/main
I'd try importing that as a project in your workspace (and mark it as Android library), and then including it in your project Android libraries (Project properties => Android => Library section)
If you're using Android Studio, just add the following to your build.gradle file.
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:library:1.3.0'
}

My project(eclipse) has dependencies on android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity. I tried the following.
Tried to add the library in my project's Java build path. Didnt work.
Also I observed something weird. The path for support libraries referenced elsewhere in SO is Android\sdk\extras\android\support\appcompat
However in my SDK the path is the following.
Android\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support
May I ask why is that so?
Also I copied the appcompat jar file into the libs folder of my project. Still it didnt work.
Could anyone please help?
See this answer
The import android.support.v7.app cannot be resolved
After you add appcompat_v7 to your dependencies, be sure that the libs folder from your project are empty. By default, an android-support-v4.jar is created when you define your project, so this will cause conflict when you declare appcompat_v7 library as your dependency.
So, the first thing you need to do is check the folder .../My_Project/libs and fearlessly delete the file android-support-v4.jar.
Then, add the appcompat_v7 library as a dependency of your project:
To do this, if you are using Eclipse:
Right click in your project folder, located in the Navigator.
Click in properties, in the final of the list.
In the Properties window, select the Android option (left menu).
In the box Library, add your new reference.
Support Library Setup -
https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html
Just import the appcompact library in your workspace then simply add this library in your project from properties .
It works for me. I using this. I also provide you library.
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
https://github.com/dmytrodanylyk/android-process-button/
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've created an Android project in Eclipse and I would like to add the Volley library to it. Searching on the web, I've tried these approaches:
Copy the .jar into the libs folder and right-click and add it to build-path.
Open the library as an android project, mark it as library and add it as a reference in my android app.
Nothing works. I still cannot access the classes provided by the library by importing the classes like follow: com.android.volley
Someone has a solution for this ?
The Solution:
Try this:
Add volley.jar to the libs folder. Don't add it to the build
path.
In Eclipse go to Project and make sure Build Automatically is selected.
Now in Project, click on Clean:
Project -> select Clean -> select the project.
As Volley doesn't have any resources like styles, layouts etc., its not necessary to reference it as a library project. The above should work, provided all steps are followed.
If this doesn't work ...
Make sure the library has not been added to the build path. If it is, then remove it. Now, try:
Closing and re-opening the project.
Restarting the IDE (last resort).
The build process for Volley has changed to Gradle. If you just want to use the library without building it, you can get the Jar from Maven or scroll down to the instructions to building it yourself lower in this answer.
Maven
An easier way to obtain the Jar file is to download it directly from Maven Central. You can find the latest version with this search:
http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.mcxiaoke.volley%22
At the time of writing the 1.0.19 version can be found here:
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/mcxiaoke/volley/library/1.0.19/library-1.0.19.jar
Gradle
The new way to do it is to build the project using Gradle.
You can do this by running:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley
gradle build
This will create a file in
build\intermediates\bundles\release
Then add this file into your libs folder and add it to your project.
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.
In my project, I need to use external library. That library consists of .class files. I have added folder with this library to my project using properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add class folder. I can compile project without any problem, but when I run it, I get failed resolving xy and debugger stops on line where I create instance of class from imported files.
I guess the external library I use isnt linked to my .apk file. How can I fix this? I have tried to check this library on "Order and Export" tab assuming that, it will export the library with my application. But it didnt work.
How can I link this library to my project .apk? Do I need to somehow install this library on device first? Do I need to copy this library in application folder?
PS: I'm using Eclipse Juno, android SDK target 10.
Thank you
UPDATE
I have this library copied in libs folder. External library path is:
my_project/libs/sk/aicit/leg/libraries*.class
I have added ./libs folder in Libraries settings of project.
I do not have .jar version of this library, only .class files.
I have also souce code of this library, but I didnt want to include its classes in my project, it has its own dependencies, I wanted to just "link" it like library. Its an external library I havent written.
UPDATE 2
I have copied all the source files from library to my projects "src/" dir. I have removed Library from Java build path. I can stil compile my project, but when I run it Iget
FATAL EXCEPTION:main
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{
com.example/myvideorecord/com.example.myvideorecord.Robot}: java.langNullPointerException
...
What can I do, how to debug this error? :(
steps
Copy the library file into libs folder
select jar file -> right click -> Build Path -> Add to Build Path
clean the project Project-> Clean -> select your project -> ok
Android Studio
For importing a Android library into Android Studio, use the following steps:
1) (Optional) I like having my main Android project contain everything it needs to compile correctly, so I move external libraries into the libs/ directory. Generally, you only need to keep the following directories:
res
src
AndroidManifest.xml
*.iml (This will typically be the name of the library you're importing.)
2) Go to your Project Properties.
3) Go to Modules.
4) Import a New Module (Command + N and then Import Module).
5) Navigate to the library directory you want to import.
6) Create module from existing sources.
7) Click Next three times to add the necessary files.
8) Click Finish to complete the module additional.
9) Click on your project in the module list and go to the Dependencies tab.
10) Click the + button at the bottom and click Module Dependency....
11) Make sure your library you're importing is selected and click OK.
12) Click OK in the Project Properties window.
And you should be good to go.
Copy that library file into libs folder
if u have the source code of the library you can import it in eclipse .
Right click on your project -> properties->android -> reference-> add
and add the library project which u have imported. This will include only .class files of the library in ur project
