Jar dependency error when importing android project - android

I am trying to import an external project into Eclipse for further coding.
Once the project was import, following errors were found:
found 2 versions of android-support-v4.jar in the dependency list appcompat in android.
Then, I have studied this link and found the solution.
Found 2 versions of android-support-v4.jar in the dependency list appcompat in android
I have deleted the android-support-v4.jar in library folder of the project but I cannot find
<sdk>/extras/android/support/samples/Support4Demos/ and copy android-support-v4.jar to replace the original file. Can anyone tell me the location???
Besides, are there any standard steps for importing an android project in the latest version of adt?? I find that there are many people has the similar problem but the solutions provided by others were so different. I am a bit lost about the correct steps.

I had the same problem and I fixed it really easy way: Firstly, I've checked which of the libraries android-support-v4.jar was the last updated. Generally, you can check the modification date and also the size of the file (normally, not always, the last version is heavier than the older versions).
Ok, you already have the last one? ok, replace (copy/paste) this .jar file in all the projects . The error will dissapear.
At least, for me was the solution. You need to have the same .jar file in all the projects imported and main project.
Clean all the project and build again!!!!

Using library in Android Studio - empty classes.jar

I added the following dependency to to build.gradle file in Android Studio and resync-ed the project successfully:
compile 'se.emilsjolander:stickylistheaders:2.1.3'
However I was unable to use any of the class in this library. Feeling strange I opened the source tree and see if there's anything wrong. I noticed the following:
You can see Android Studio can found the available classes for other downloaded archives, but not the one I mentioned in this question. The classes.jar file is reported empty.
I tried adding an older version of the stickylistheaders library (2.1.3). Still an empty classes.jar.
When I start this question I found a similar post here. But the author of that post tried to include the downloaded project in settings.gradle, and he finally managed to include the library through the "compile" directive. My problem is that I AM using the "compile" directive, but the downloaded archive has a "empty" classes.jar. I also tried adding the library mentioned in that question (i.e. 'se.emilsjolander:StickyScrollViewItems:1.0.0'). Also an empty classes.jar.
Some notes:
The actual classes.jar file found in build/exploded-bundles is not empty.
I tried cleaning the project. I suppose this will cause all dependencies be removed and re-downloaded. However, after that, Android Studio still cannot spot any class in stickylistheaders' classes.jar.
So far, this problem only exists for se.emilsjolander's libraries. Strangely, the answerer of this post1 posted a screenshot showing that he does see a non-empty classes.jar.
Update:
I also tried deleting .gradle's cache directory in my profile directory, clean the project and rebuild again. No luck.
I can unzip the classes.jar in question. Looks like the file isn't corrupt.
Anyone knows what's wrong here? Thanks.
I think I have found the cause: it should be a bug in Android Studio.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=64008
In fact, the code can build and run despite seeing errors in Android Studio. So it is obviously an issue with Android Studio.
Update 27 Jan: It should have been resolved in Android 0.4.3. As from the release notes:
Fixed a bug around library syncing (where library dependency classes
and resources could suddenly not be found by the IDE)
Have you tried syncing your project with Gradle?
Tools -> Android -> Sync project with Gradle Files.
That should reload the build.gradle file and download the (missing) dependencies.
Try this once and make sure you are not getting any error in project Structure saying that "your_lib_name not used/added"
Open File > Project Structure
and check for erros. If error is shown click on it , it will expend the errors and will show some options on right, click on the Red bulb and choose "Add to dependency".
This seems be a bug in Studio which will be fixed in next release(Android Studio 0.4.3).

GCM NoClassDefFoundError [duplicate]

I have a rather big Android App project that is referencing several library projects. Everything was fine until i upgraded the eclipse ADT plugin to the newest version (v22). I also upgraded the SDK of course. I do not see any compile errors in eclipse, but when i run the project on the phone i get a NoClassDefFoundError.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.acra.ACRA
....
The arca library is included in one of the referenced library project (in the libs folder) and i can see it in the "Android Private Libraries" in the package explorer, also as i said, no compile errors. The project runs fine on everyone else's computer that did not upgrade ADT.
I have already tried a whole bunch of stuff including but not limited to:
re-install the android SDK
download a fresh ADT bundle
delete all my code an get it again from git
copy the library in question to the app project
comment out the code that uses this library - i just get the same error for the next library
all without any success, so i'm getting really desperate here.
I would be really happy if anyone could give me a hint on how to solve that problem.
Quoting Streets of Boston from his adt-dev post:
When upgrading, the 'Order and Export' of the new 'Android Private
Libraries' is not always checked. And the android-support-v4.jar is now in
this 'Android Private Libraries' section.
To fix this, go to 'Order and Export' and check 'Android Private
Libraries'. Then refresh/clean/rebuild.
After you done this 'fix' for a library project, you may need to just close
and re-open any depending project, because they may not see this 'fix'
immediately.
Give this a shot and with luck it will solve your problem.
Simply checking Android Private Libraries was not enough, I also had to install Android SDK Build-tools in Android SDK Manager.
I had also the same problem and my adt was 22.0.1. And none of the solution above worked. Further when adding a external library project to a working project.I always check the gen folder of working project and if R of external library project is there (along with package name),then only external library project is exported. And on my gen folder no packagename of external library was shown.
So I checked on project.properties file and there wasn't any external library link present android.library.reference.1= present. So I manually added the external library reference there ,even though I had added from project->properties->Java Build Path->Projects->Add. So manually editing the project.properties did all the work for me.
I have encountered a similar problem, spent about 3 hours, but none of the proposed here decisions did not help... Finally I found a source of the problem: my project files & project.properties were read-only. Eclipse is simply silently ignoring any changes in library dependencies when I doing it in the GUI!
I had the same problem. It was because of the eclipse project.
To solve it I created a new project in eclipse, copy my existing project classes and resources into it and then launched eclipse again and added my custom includes.
I had the similar issue and my answer is slightly different from CommonsWare's. Here is my screenshot:
After checking the libs back in my build started to work again.
I had also the same problem,
i) add gson lib as referecend librairies
ii) check it in java Build Path
