Import parse.com library into Android studio 0.8.2

I'm trying to import the Parse-1.5.1.jar file into my project in Android studio following these steps:
- File -> Project structure
- Click on the plus button and click on Import .JAR or .AAR package
- Choose my jar file and then hit finish
But then any command from the parse library is recognized. For example : "Cannot resolve symbol ParseObject" and android studio doesn't propose me to import anything.
I can't find on stackoverflow any instruction for these version of Android studio and Parse.
Any suggestion ?

Today i too started with Parse. All you need to do is:
Copy the parse-1.5.1.Jar file (Ctrl+c) and paste it in app->libs folder
Ensure build.gradle inside the app folder contains this line: compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
That's it. You just need to click on Sync Project with Gradle Files button on the top to rebuild your project. You'll now be ready to use the classes from the Parse Library.
Hope this helps. All the best

Take your Parse-1.8.4.jar file and copy and paste it into your libs folder.
Then make sure your manifest has all the correct permissions. Here is some, but there are more permissions than this:
Make sure you have the parse class that extends Application and calls Prase.initialize in onCreate().
Then go to File -> Project Structure. In the pop-up, select "app" -> "Dependencies" tab -> Click on the plus sign and select "File dependency". Then select your "Parse-1.8.4.jar" file.

Firstly open your project libs file. Download parse example project code from https://www.parse.com/tutorials#android . opy the libs file.Paste them to your project file/libs file.Click File in android studio and then click project structure tab or hit the F4 if its work. And click "app" left side of tab in opened window.Then Dependencies tab. Click "+" on right side. Click File Dependency and click libs and find the Parse.xxx.jar file and click OK and Apply . Tahts it. And you can also take look here https://www.parse.com/tutorials#android.

Android facebook sdk import error

i had download facebook skd import it in my eclipse add v4 jar file and change complier to 1.6 but yet it give me error in class FacebookAppLinkResolver
import bolts.AppLink;
import bolts.AppLinkResolver;
import bolts.Continuation;
import bolts.Task;
above are not import

1.Open your project properties
2.Select "Java Build Path" from left side menu
3.Select "Libraries" tab
4.Press "Add External Jar"
5.MOST IMPORTANT STEPS :-
Select "bolts" jar file of "libs" folder of YOUR CURRENT PROJECT LOCATION(Path Should be
of your project only and not the android sdk).
6.Select "Order and Export" tab and "TICK" the checkbox of "android-support-v4.jar"

Download sdk for Bolts library from
https://github.com/BoltsFramework/Bolts-Android
and add this project with facebook sdk project.

Or if you're using Gradle you can add this to your Gradle file:
dependencies {
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.3'
}
Facebook is also available so you don't have to add that manually either. To include both use the following:
dependencies {
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.5.0'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.3'
}
You can check for the latest version of Bolts here.

amalBit's answer works great for Eclipse. Here is the Android Studio equivalent.
I encountered this error after updating to the latest Facebook SDK for Android.
File ->
Project Structure ->
Select the Facebook module on the left
Select the Dependencies tab
Press the + button at the bottom of the
window
Select File Dependency
In the libs folder, you should see the
bolts.jar file you copied over when updating the SDK.
Select the
bolts.jar file and press OK
Then press Apply and OK
Doing a Gradle Sync (happened automatically for me) should resolve the error.

I had the same problem. Check your facebook-sdk/facebook folder to see if there is a libs file (Not directory)
So I think Android studio failed to import the libs as a directory instead included a libs file with "../libs" in it.
Not sure if this was facebook-sdk issue, git cloning issue or android studio issue.
Solution:
1. remove the dummy libs file
2. copy the libs directory manually
3. remove the dependency in project structure
4. add it manually by clicking + sign

How to import external library in android studio?

I struggle to import library 'PageSlidingTapStrip'(https://github.com/astuetz/PagerSlidingTabStrip).
I found this question(How to import eclipse library project from github to android studio project?), and I follow this solution.
cf)I'm using win 8.1 , android studio version 0.3.6
First, build new project like this condition.
Second, go to File -> New Module click, create new module as android library and make condition like this.( Unchecked create custom launcher icon, activity )
And this part I got a first question. Which version should I choice version about 'Minimum required SDK' , 'Target SDK', 'Compile with'? Just Follow project version? (image show default value when I create this window first.)
Anyway, I progress under condition ' Minimum required SDK : API 9 / Target SDK : API 19 / Compile with : API 19 '
Third, delete files under 'Project/PageSlidingTabStrip/src/main/' and copy folder&file under external library 'res', 'src', 'AndroidManifest.xml' and move into 'Project/PageSlidingTabStrip/src/main/' then renamed src to java.
And then project & folder become like this. (what I followed question as , told me copy and move file 'ic_launcer-web.png' apart from 'res', 'src', 'manifest' , but I can't find that file)
Fourth, go to 'File -> Project setting -> Module -> click project module -> '+' button -> select Module dependency' then apply.
After that, I face this error and cannot resolve R.
And I can't go next step, can't finish import library.
What should I do?
Is there any other solution?
Thanks for seeing long question. I hope to get a solution!

I also use the PagerSlidingTabStrip Project in my app and everything works fine.
I'm not sure if it's already possible to add a library project via the IDE (-> without any problems).
Please try to add the library project by editing the gradle files like this:
first delete your module PagerSlidingTabStrip
then create a folder in your root project directory (-> NewOne) named 'libs'
copy the complete folder 'library' of the PagerSlidingTabStrip project on git into 'libs'
rename the folder 'library' that you just copied to e.g. "PagerSlidingTabStripLibrary" (just to avoid confusion) -> after the renaming you should have the path: "NewOne/libs/PagerSlidingTabStripLibrary"
now add this library in your settings.gradle with the following command:
include ':libs:PagerSlidingTabStripLibrary'
go to your build.gradle file of your AppProject aps and add the following line to your 'dependencies':
compile project(':libs:PagerSlidingTabStripLibrary')
at least you have to sync your gradle files: Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
Please try this. If you get errors please post the log file.

For update up to Android Studio 1.2.1.1
There are basically three types of dependencies which we have to add in project of android Studio
Add Normal Dependencies like Support files
Right click on project->open module settings
Select dependencies->Now press right "+" icon button ->Select
library Dependencies
Enter Name and Search
Select file and press ok button.
Add Git Hub Dependencies
Find the dependencies of git repository for example compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:6.1.0' from https://github.com/JakeWharton/butterknife
A. open build.gradle(module:app) file
B. Add lines compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:6.1.0'
OR
Follow as describe above in Normal Dependencies Step by just enter dependencies in search bar
Add Jar files Dependencies
Right click on project->open module settings
press left "+" icon (insert new Module) button -> Select import Jar or .AAR package->browse Jar file and finish
Now select dependencies-> press right "+" icon button ->Select module Dependencies->select jar files->press ok button.

For what it's worth I had this problem and eventually solved it by consistently using the same sdk version & build tools across projects.

importing jar libraries into android-studio

android-studio 0.2.7
Fedora 18
Hello,
I am trying to add the jtwitter jar to my project.
First I tried doing the following:
1) Drag the jtwitter.jar into the root directory of my project explorer, see picture
2) File | project structure
3) Modules | yamba-yamba | dependencies
4) Click the plus sign | jars or directories | and navigate to jtwitter jar | click ok
When I import the jar file I get the following error:
import winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter;
Cannot resolve symbol winterwell
Gradle: error: package winterwell.jtwitter does not exist
I researched and found that android-studio has some issues and that you have to edit the build.gradle file yourself.
So I tried adding this to my build.gradle file:
dependencies {
compile files('libs/jtwitter.jar')
And got an error message: cannot resolve symbol dependencies
Another question, where would the libs folder be. Does it mean the External Libraries?

Try this...
Create libs folder under the application folder.
Add .jar files to libs folder.
Then add .jar files to app's build.gradle dependency.
Finally Sync project with Gradle files.
1.Create libs folder:
2.Add .jar to libs folder:
3.Edit app's build.gradle dependency:
Open app/build.gradle
4.Sync project with Gradle files:
Finally add .jar files to your application.
UPDATE:
Here I'm going to import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.jar file to our app module.
Copy your jar file and paste it in directory called libs.
Press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + s or just click project structure icon on the toolbar.
Then select your module to import .jar file, then select dependencies tab.
Click plus icon then select File dependency
Select .jar file path, click OK to build gradle.
Finally we're imported .jar file to our module.

Updated answer for Android Studio 2
The easy and correct way to import a jar/aar into your project is to import it as a module.
New -> Module
Select Import .JAR/.AAR Package
Select the .JAR/.AAR file and put a module name
Add the module as a dependency

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')
}

In the project right click
-> new -> module
-> import jar/AAR package
-> import select the jar file to import
-> click ok -> done
You can follow the screenshots below:

3:
You will see this:

Android Studio 1.0.1 doesn't make it any clearer, but it does make it somehow easier. Here's what worked for me:
1) Using explorer, create an 'external_libs' folder (any other name is fine) inside the Project/app/src folder, where 'Project' is the name of your project
2) Copy your jar file into this 'external_libs' folder
3) In Android Studio, go to File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies -> Add -> File Dependency and navigate to your jar file, which should be under 'src/external_libs'
3) Select your jar file and click 'Ok'
Now, check your build.gradle (Module.app) script, where you'll see the jar already added under 'dependencies'

This is how you add jar files from external folders
Click on File and there you click on New and New Module
New Window appears ,,There you have to choose the Import .JAR/.AAR package .
Click on the path option at the top right corner of the window ...And give the whole path of the JAR file .
4)click on finish.
Now you have added the Jar file and You need to add it in the dependency for your application project
1)Right click on app folder and there you have to choose Open Module Settings or F4
2)Click on dependency at the top right corner of the current window .
3)Click on '+' symbol and choose 'Module Dependency' and It will show you the existed JAR files which you have included in your project ...
Choose the one you want and click 'OK/Finish'

Android Studio 1.0 makes it easier to add a .jar file library to a project.
Go to File>Project Structure and then Click on Dependencies. Over there you can add .jar files from your computer to the project. You can also search for libraries from maven.

This is the way I just did on Android Studio version 1.0.2
I have created a folder libs in [your project dir]\app\src
I have copied the jtwitter.jar (or the yambaclientlib.jar) into the [your project dir]\app\src\libs directory
The following the menu path: File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies -> Add -> File Dependency, Android Studio opens a dialog box where you can drag&drop the jar library. Then I clicked the OK button.
At this point Gradle will rebuild the project importing the library and resolving the dependencies.

I see so many complicated answer.
All this confused me while I was adding my Aquery jar file in the new version of Android Studio.
This is what I did :
Copy pasted the jar file in the libs folder which is visible under Project view.
And in the build.gradle file just added this line : compile files('libs/android-query.jar')
PS : Once downloading the jar file please change its name. I changed the name to android-query.jar

There are three standard approaches for importing a JAR file into Android studio. The first one is traditional way, the second one is standard way, and the last one is remote library. I explained these approaches step by step with screenshots in this link:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/35369267/5475941.
I hope it helps.

If the code for your jar library is on GitHub then importing into Android Studio is easy with JitPack.
Your will just need to add the repository to build.gradle:
allprojects{
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
and then the library's GitHub repository as a dependency:
dependencies {
// ...
compile 'com.github.YourUsername:LibraryRepo:ReleaseTag'
}
JitPack acts as a maven repository and can be used like Maven Central. The nice thing is that you don't have to upload the jar manually. Behind the scenes JitPack will check out the code from GitHub and compile it. Therefore it works only if the repo has a build file in it (build.gradle).
There is also a guide on how to prepare an Android project.

Avoid redundancy. If you have your jars under /libs in your app build.gradle by default you will have
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
...
}
that is enough to add all the jars you have under /libs
this is not necessary
// compile files('libs/activation.jar')
// compile files('libs/additional.jar')
// compile files('libs/mail.jar')

I also faced same obstacle but not able to find out solution from given answers. Might be it's happening due to project path which is having special characters & space etc... So please try to add this line in your build.gradle.
compile files('../app/libs/jtwitter.jar')// pass your .jar file name
".." (Double dot) will find your root directory of your project.

Android Studio fail add libs Universal Image Loader

Android-Universal-Image-Loader(https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader) is my favorite library.
But it can't add libs when i use Android Studio(use 0.1.5 version).
i know how to add libs in Android Studio
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/16628496/397457)
when i add Android-Universal-Image-Loader libs to Android Studio. Editor error about "can't reslove R". i try this Max OSX(i try too Windows but fail. Windows error message => "Gradle: error: package com.nostra13.universalimageloader.core does not exist". but Editor no error message. only show when i run application)
other libs like Gson no problem. but only Android-Universal-Image-Loader have this problem.
Your Android Studio success add Android-Universal-Image-Loader? if success tell me how to.

I just added the universal-image-loader like this:
Firstly download the universal-image-loader-1.8.5-with-sources.jar.
(For 5/2014. universal-image-loader-1.9.2.jar works great. Don't need the "with-sources" file.)
Then put it on my MyAppProject/MyApp/libs.
Right clicking on universal-image-loader-1.8.5-with-sources.jar i add it as a library with the default configuration.
Finally on MyAppProject/MyApp/build.gradle add the following:
dependencies {
compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.8.5-with-sources.jar')
}

From the error "package com.nostra13.universalimageloader.core does not exist", it seems like you have not added the source as the library. Right click the "universal-image-loader-1.8.4.jar" file under the libs folder and from the context menu, click "Add as a library" option.
If after this you are getting the "ClassDefNotFoundException", please follow the following steps:
Add the library to the project.
Edit your Gradle build file and add the dependency for the UIL in it
Close Android Studio
Open command prompt and go to the project's root folder (you will find 'gradlew' file there) and clean your build by issuing the clean command C:\CarApplicationProject> gradlew clean
Restart Android Studio.

1.Put the jar (in my case, gson-2.2.4.jar) into the libs folder.
2.Ensure that compile files ('libs/gson-2.2.4.jar') is in your build.gradle file.
3.Now Click on the "Sync Project with Gradle files"(Left to AVD manager Button on the topbar).
After I did the above three, it started working fine.

There are two ways to use Universal Image Loader
By downloading Jar and add it to lib folder and
compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.5-with-sources.jar')
Simply add gradle dependency
compile 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.5'
