When you create a project, it comes with this library added by default:
android-support-v4.jar
Can I remove it? What happens if I remove the library? Can the app stop working in some phones?
Can I remove it?
You can try.
What happens if I remove that library?
You will not be able to use anything supplied by it, such as the fragments backport, ViewPager, etc.
Can the app stop working in some phones?
You will get build errors first.
If you're using Eclipse and your project is marked with a red exclamation mark after deleting the android-support-v4 jar, close and restart Eclipse and it should straighten itself out. (Or you might try just closing and reopening the project.)
You can safely remove it if you don't use APIs not available for your current SDK target.
It is a support library. You can read about it here:
Support Library Setup
Support Library
You can safely remove it if you don't use this API.
I just did that. So I get multiple errors in all the projects, like

This means that the mentioned resources are not available for my projects anymore.
Then I proceeded to add v7 appcompat, and I got could not get rid of my errors. So I deleted it, and mistakenly deleted the project from the disk as well, so installed the remnants (I guess) of it, and this did not end well either:

I'm not sure what I'm needing to do to fix these errors. I'm new to Android coding and was going to use this to help me learn.
Here's the file that it's wanting me to fix.
1: replace %s with %1$s all in your string.xml
2: I suggest You use AndroidStudio rather than eclipse when are you developing Android app. This needs android support library.see here
Hi，I download your source ,and I found some problem:
1、your library source ,gradle file ,applicationID not modified
2、my systemOS is win10，jdk is oracle jdk8。
library's compiledversion and buildToolsVersion maybe needn't modify,but jdk maybe needed.I think so.modified application id and run app successfully
There are many answers on this question on this site but i think non of them are work with me
and here's errors:

import appcompat
1.File->Import (android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7). Choose "appcompat"
2.Project-> properties->Android. In the section library "Add" and choose "appCompat" and also select build target to API 21.
Just clean your project after that
I had just updated my app to use Androids API 21 from 19, but the app failed to run as it noted that many of the methods have been deprecated. As there is very little documentation for API 21, given it is so new, I then switched to switch my app back to API 19. However, given the main reference libraries have also been updated: android-support-v4 and android-support-v4-appcompat and therefore logcat lists the error upon running when I attempt to switch my app back to API 19:

Is there a way to undo the changes of an API update or simply migrate back to a previous API? Or perhaps a location to download those API 19 versions of the libraries?
Source code control (SCC) (such as SVN, Git, Mercurial) is the best way to enable the ability to revert code and libraries to previous versions. Unfortunately, you can only go back in source if you were using SCC at the point you want to revert to.
In your case, downloading archived versions of the library is the best way to solve your problem this time. There are several places you can download these, but Google search of "android support library archive" is your friend, or see this answer.
I have followed the the guides on few sites and I cannot get it to work. I made sure they I created the project from existing source, and include as libraries in my project, checked targets, etc. I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I get the following errors:

Guides Followed:
Error importing HoloEverywhere
https://github.com/ChristopheVersieux/HoloEverywhere
The HoloEverywhere guide you linked to is a small bit out-of-date, the two themes are now called Holo.Theme and Holo.Theme.Light.
So change these lines in your Android manifest:
android:theme="#style/Theme.HoloEverywhereDark.Sherlock"
or
android:theme="#style/Theme.HoloEverywhereLight.Sherlock"
to
android:theme="#style/Holo.Theme"
or
android:theme="#style/Holo.Theme.Light"
Then Project->Clean and see if the errors disappear.
As you are using Sherlock theme(Not integrated Android Theme) you need to import that additional package under ProjectName/ folder
+ProjectName
src
gen
Android2.1
Sherlock.jar(Import tht .jar file under root Folder)
bin
. . .
I solved the problem by setting the android target of all the projects to the newest android version (v.17 atm)

ActionBarSherlock 4.0 doesn't work. But 3.5.1 do.
I'm trying to use ActionBarSherlock for my app, but there seems to be a problem when referring to ActionBarSherlock from another library project.
It's because I use a UI project where I create all the activities, but this project is actually a library. So I need the ActionBarSherlock components in this UI project, but when I refer to ActionBarSherlock the following errors appear:

So it seems like it can not find the Holo themes, even though all the projects have android:targetSdkVersion="15". Is there a fix for this or is it just not possible to refer to ActionBarSherlock from a library?
I solved by changing the Project Build Target of both the ActionBarSherlock library and my projects to Android 4.0.3 (API 15).
You can do this using the Project Properties and clicking on the Android section.
Remember to do a Project Clean after changing the API Level.
You need to add ABS to your library project as well as your other project.
