I am trying to Download the v7 app compat support library version 19.1.0. The current version of the library is 21.something. However, this requires lolipop as the compile sdk and an update to the build tool. We do not want to make these changes. Also we are using ant and not gradle. Hence, Need a direct download link to the 19.1 version of the support libraries.
Thanks
These can be downloaded from the Github account.

You specifically want 19.1.0 which is located here:

I'm trying to add support libraries to my Android studio project.
studio suggests to use "27.1.1" version of appcompat library but is not available in jcenter or google repository.
my questions:
1.How can I find the latest available version of libraries?
2.why jcenter does not include support libraries(http://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/support/appcompat-v7/27.1.1 this page is not found)
thank U every one
Whenever a new Android Support Repository is released, I have to update my dependencies in the app Gradle file.
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.1'
}
However, I don't get much of a clue as to what version to add i.e.: 25.1.1 with every release unless I go and check the Recent Support Revisions.
The version shown in the Android SDK Manager: Android Support Repository, revision 44.
I want to know how to get the right version given the revision number of the Android Support Repository during updates.
All other version such as Build tools show the right corresponding versions, only this one stumps me.
You can use the latest.release suffix in for your libraries like this:
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:latest.release'
It will insure you are always using the latest release version.
The revision number isn't really that important.
The support library major version should match the compileSdk.
Recently I've removed my old Eclipse and download/install new version Neon.
I know I have to download SDK from Android SDK Manager. So I've download some releases which I needed and for "Extra" part could find Android Support Library.
I've checked Obsolete and found it, but I want to use new version of appcompat (24.2.0) which is part of Android Support Repository and I've downloaded, but can not add it by normal way (I think).
So how to add appcompat 24.2.0 into Eclipse?
Note:
When I want to import Existing Android code Into Workplace and address it to the appcompat there isn't anything to add, because it's Maven:
C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\Android\m2repository\com\Android\support\appcompat-v7\24.2.0
I know I know I should be using Android Studio, but I can't for some reasons.
So is there a way to force Eclipse to use an older version of the support library for a project.
For example in Android Studio, we can do that by the 22.2.1 part in the build.gradle file:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
The only option is to find the old version of appcompat-v7, add it (including the sources or jars and all resources) as a library project into your Eclipse workspace and then make your project use/import that library.
Download specific compatibility lib from dl-ssl.google.com repository, described in here: Android Support Library Direct Link for Downloading
Specifically guess/construct your version here:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/support_r19.1.zip
Unzip and import as existing source into eclipse.
Check to install according Android SDK Build-tools in the Android ASK manager.
Eclipse provides a single click and download for the support library for an android project, and it adds it to the libs/ folder as "android-support-v4.jar"
The above jar has no reference to revision number (currently r10), so surely (unless I use maven) how are other people keeping up to date with the support library revisions?
I agree with #yorkw, the SDK manager tells you which version is currently installed. Also, using the android tools -> add support library will in-fact install a newer version if available, you will see that later in the SDK manager.
If what you are asking is how you know a new version is available so you can update? than the answer is definitely SDK manager, as yorkw said.
