I need help in creating the 'libs' folder in Android Studio for my project (It is not auto-generated in my project).
When I want to create a folder, it gives me lots of options, like AIDL, Assets, JNI, Java, Java Resources, Renderscripts, and 'res' folders. I chose Res and added a libs folder but it didn't show up on my file structure on the left.
Can anyone help me?
I wanted to add a JAR file but I can't find libs to put in.
The solution for me was very simple (after 10 hours of searching).
Above where your folders are there is a combobox that says "android"
click it and choose "Project".
Click the left side dropdown menu "android" and choose "project" to see libs folders
*after choosing project you will see the libs directory
libs and Assets folder in Android Studio:
Create libs folder inside app folder and Asset folder inside main in the project directory by exploring project directory.
Now come back to Android Studio and switch the combo box from Android to Project. enjoy...
Another strange thing. You wont see the libs folder in Android Studio, unless you have at least 1 file in the folder. So, I had to go to the libs folder using File Explorer, and then place the jar file there. Then, it showed up in Android Studio.
also, to get the right arrow, right click and "Add as Library".
also you should click right button on mouse at your projectname and choose "open module settings" or press F4 button. Then on "dependencies" tab add your lib.jar to declare needed lib
You can create lib folder inside app you press right click and select directory you named as libs its will be worked

I'm new to android and java. I downloaded the GSON library for use in my android project which exists in Eclipse. I lookup instructions on how to use the jar file in my project and it says...
Quote...
You can use a third party JAR in your application by adding it to your Eclipse project as follows:
In the Package Explorer panel, right-click on your project and select Properties.
Select Java Build Path, then the tab Libraries.
Press the Add External JARs... button and select the JAR file.
Alternatively, if you want to include third party JARs with your package, create a new directory for them within your project and select Add Library... instead.
It is not necessary to put external JARs in the assets folder
...UnQuote
I'm afraid that I don't know the difference between "using a 3rd party jar in my project" and "include third party jars with my package." I want to be able to use the GSON methods in my Android phone application and, of course, have the capability deployed in my .apk.
So, Which do I want to do?
Thanks, Gary
add the jar to your libs folder in your project.
open eclipse go to package explorer
right click on your project and select project properties
click on java Build path in the bar on the left hand side of the popup
select the libraries tab
select the "Add External Jar File" and navigate to your JAR file
best of luck =)
click Properties
left select Build path
Than add jar, and do not use the external libs, unless it is really required.
You have to copy the jar to your project to find it with "Add jars"
Right click onto your main project in the Project Explorer
Open properties option, found at the bottom of the context menu
A dialog box opens from which you select the Android option
Remove the old .jar file, click on ADD to add a new .jar file and select your the file you want to add
You're done!

Do this:
Right click on the project and go to "Properties"
Select "Java Build Path" on the left
Open "Source" tab
Click "Add Folder..."
Check "gen" folder and "Res" folder and click Ok and Ok again
Again right click on the project and in the "Andriod Tools" click on "Fix Project Properties"
If the library is another project on your space (or even jar file) then you can right click on your project and select properties. Then go to Android (where you choose version) and at the bottom you will find "is library" section. You can add it there by clicking on add
I want to add banner to my project. I have done some work in this regard, but i have problem in adding "Add External jar".
[Right click on my Project -> properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External jar].
Now my problem is, as I click "Add External jar" a new widow(browsing) opens and asking for to open jar file, but I have studied "Android Developer documents" for adding banner in project, there was nothing mentioned about the to open jar file. Now what I have to do, to add "Add External jar" and I could continue my project further.
Yours help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank`s in advance.
How can i add “Add External Jar” to my project in android
For, this i always follow below steps -
Just create a libs folder on my project ->And, copy the .jar file to there.
In your workspace select your project and right click -> on Properties, just go to Java Build Path
Click the Add External jars it'll open the window dialog box -> root your workspace -> And, select your project -> go to libs folder -> choose the .jar file -> Click ok.
Hope these steps helps you.
There should be a jar file that you downloaded that contains he libraries you need. You'll need to select that jarfile for the step that you are doing currently.
It is a good idea to keep that file within your project folder as well. Many people like to keep all of their libraries inside of a folder called libs within their project folder.
I'm not sure what "banner" is, but if it's an Android Project it cannot be added as a JAR. Projects that have resources are not able to be fully externally liked libs.
If indeed this is Android Project you will need to import the existing project into your Eclipse workspace here the steps http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html#SettingUpLibraryProject
Create a folder called "libs" in your project.
Go to that folder using Windows Explorer and copy the .jar file there.
Refresh your project in eclipse and right click on the jar file and select "Add to Build Path" option.
Very basic, But I don't know, How to add JSoup.jar to my android workspace? If anyone knows, please help me?
Right click on your project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add [external] Jars
Create a folder named libs in the root of your project and put your jar files here.
Then go to project Properties, under Java Build Path > Libraries click con Add JARs... and select you jar file, under the libs folder.
Create a folder named libs in the root of your project and put your jar files here. And then right Click the .jar file and click Add as Library and Select app from dropdown menu and click OK
Happy Coding :)
In Android Studio follow the below steps:
Right click on file named app (inside project files in the Android project view)
Click on Open module settings
Inside Project Structure click on the + (New module) symbol on top left corner
Inside create new module select .JAR/.AAR package
Inside create new module select the .jar file to be imported and click finish
Inside Project Structure click on app (below list of Modules)
Select Dependencies click on the +(Add) symbol on top right corner
Then select Module dependency
Select the module name to be imported from the list given in Choose Modules and click ok.
If you want to add jar in specific folder(eg: lib) than do as Francesco said
else
Just right click on project>build path>configure build path>libraries> you have some options to add jar.Which one to use upto you.
Create a folder named libs in the root of your project and put your jar files here. And then right Click the .jar file and click Add as Library and Select app from dropdown menu and click OK
This solved my problem
I would like to fully remove all the links to an external library in my project. How can I do that ?
What I did:
Right click on project folder => Properties => Android => remove the library in the right panek
Right click on project folder =>Build Paths => Configure build paths =>In the right panel: the folder relative to the library can be expanded; I manage to remove one of the resources in this expanded fodler but not the others (and consequently not the root folder)
The library (.jar) is still visible in my project above the assets folder and I don't manage to remove it. Below how it looks (cannot be remove by right click and delete (gray)):
Any help would be appreciated !
Maybe You have to go:
right click on your project:
properties > select "Android"
Under "Library", remove the library you want.
It maybe some libraries include other libraries so you couldn't remove it from where you have tried.
Right click on the jar file -> Build Path -> Remove from Build Path
Open settings.gradle and delete:
"include ':librayname'"
Then delete lib file from app Myproject/app folder.
I was able to remove an External Library after following these steps:
Remove compile entry from build.gradle (app)
RESTART Android Studio.
Following steps worked for me :
Right click on JAR file in libs folder
Choose option Refractor and then select Safe Delete Option
Delete this entry from build.gradle --> compile files('libs/)
open Android Studio terminal and execute this command --> gradlew clean
jar file will be deleted but Code you have used from the jar file will still be there in java files. you can manually delete that.
