I followed the steps given in http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html#add-library
During the step: Create a library project(Adding libraries with resources), for the v7 appcompat project, I see project titled appcompat instead of android-support-v7-appcompat. Where am I going wrong? Please help.
Answer:I realized for older versions of Android SDK we get appcompat titled project not the v7 one.

I'm working on an Eclipse Android project (target SDK 18). Since I wanted to use some Material Design features from Android 5 I added the library project Design Support Library (Target SDK 23) to Eclipse and linked it to my project. This project links to another library project called Android-support-v7-appcompat.
I get the following error: "The import [...].myProject.R cannot be resolved".
Whenever I remove the support library from my project the error disappears.
Since a lot of people had the same problem before I already tried rebuilding and cleaning the project a couple of times. I read this post and added the android-support-v7-appcompat.jar to my project. I delted the support v4 jar from the support-v7 libs folder. Then I followed this guide and made sure that the \res folders didn't contain any errors. Still no success. I hope someone can help me.
I am trying to modify my code to include the latest nav drawer as seen in Google play stand. For this the first step is to add the app compact v7 to my project. I first updated my SDK and then imported the library project. It threw some errors, I gooogled and set the version to 21 in Project properties. The errors were resolved.
Now when I try to add this to my project by importing the library I get all sort of resource not found errors. I am clueless as only after adding the app compact v7 to my project as a lib I get these errors what can be possibly wrong here?
I am following steps exactly as defined here
Here is the screen shot without any errors on app compact v7:
Right click on project --> Go to properties --> Go to Android --> Set Project Build Target as Android 5.0 or 5.0.1 --> Apply......Hope this will solve your problem
I am making an android app that contains action bar and fragment which are not supported for API level 8!
So I just tried to import support library V7 to fix this problem!
But when I try to do it , it doesn't find support library for V7 , there is support.v4 but not v7.
what should I do to fix it?
Should I download anything for my android SDK?
Download Android Support Library in Your SDK manager under Extras. Then Import appcompat from following folder in your sdk.
Android-SDK\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat
The first step is to download the library through the SDK manager.
Support library v7 is a library project, so needs to be added as a new project to your workspace.
Note: You can't just drop the .jar in because it has additional XML resources.
There's some pretty thorough instructions on how to add it located here.
I have used Appcompat for Actionbar to get actionbar in Android 2.1 devices. I included appcompat library. but it shows Theme.AppCompat.Light not found. please provide suggestions.!
As explained in this thread, you can't just add the jar files, you need to add the full project as a Library dependency. You can find the instructions here.
Try using below Step:
1) File->Import (android-sdk-xxx\extras\android\support\v7). Choose appcompat
2) Project-> properties->Android. In the section library Add and choose appCompat
I am using ActionBarSherlock to implement action bar on my Android 2.1 API 7 project. (With Eclipse IDE)
In order to use sherlock, after I imported sherlock library as a existing project on Eclipse. I did the following things on my own project:
mouse right click on my project, choose "properties"
in "Android" section, there is "Library" sub-section, I added sherlock project as library
Apply change
Then, I notice the FragmentActivity can not be resolved in my project source code.
I checked the project property again, the added sherlock project as library is not in "Library" section...weired!!! Why it suddenly disappeared even I have added sherlock as library? What am I missing?
I mean no matter how many times I added sherlock as library to my own project, the next time I check project property, the sherlock just disappear from library section...
First, after adding the project as a library, restart Eclipse - I believe this is a known bug with at least some versions of the plugin.
If that doesn't work, check that the 'default.properties' file in your project root is not read only.
Other known problems :
Your app should use the same "Uses-sdk" setting in AndroidManifest like your Sherlock addon
Minimum Java version for Sherlock: 1.6 !
In package with libraries, you also have a lot of samples with source code
ActionBar is not visible in Layouts
Few simple that i remember
