How can I create an Android library project in NetBeans IDE? The build target would be a JAR for use in another Android project. I've seen the documentation at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html for creating a library project in Eclipse, but I'm using NetBeans. I do not see an isLibrary property available in the properties for the Android project. If there is not a built-in way to accomplish this, how might I go about manually setting up an Android library project? Forgive me if this is a thick question.
Netbeans is using the standard android project layout (see the features site) and the standard ant-based build. This means that there is a project.properties file in the project's root. A library project has android.library=true in it, along with the android target version (and eventually other android library references). This file can be viewed and opened under Important Files. When cleaning and rebuilding, Netbeans behaves as if this is a lib project (does not create apk etc.)
Otherwise, you could use the SDK android tool (located in $SDK/tools) to generate the lib project on the cmdline and then try to import it into Netbeans somehow.

I tried to import multiple android projects with render scripts, but often it does not make me compile with the "Project SDK is not defined" warning.
How should I do? Do I have to include some words?
I was interested in this project:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/rs/+/master/tests/java_api/LivePreview/
Use Android Studio 2.3.3
Those sources are part of the platform build, not a normal app build used by Android Studio (or even Eclipse.) In order to build it in Android Studio, you would need to manually setup your own project structure and pull the code into the correct place. Sources need to follow the Android Studio / gradle layout (app/src/main/java/... for Java sources, app/src/main/rs for Renderscript sources, etc.)
The SDK location is typically stored in the local.properties file at the top level of your project tree and is developer specific (not committed to rev control.)
I want to use this library for image cropping but I don't know how to include it in an Eclipse project?
https://github.com/lyft/scissors
Can I just copy-paste the classes in some folder or is that against the license?
I've convert this lib into Eclipse compatible project.
Download it from here.
for integrating it into eclipse follow these step:
Unzip file.
Import into eclipse.
Mark Project as library project.
Make sure you are using support library version 22.2.1 or higher from Android SDK Manager. If not update it.
Copy android-support-v4 JAR into libs folder from appcompat_v7 Project (I guess).
Now you're ready to go. Just add this project as library into your desire project.
Start using Android studio, Google has already stopped support for Eclipse (ADT), so it would be better for you to start emphasising on Android studio.
The Github project mentioned is Gradle based, you can either use Eclipse or Android studio to import the project.
Android Studio - You can mention the project's dependancy i.e. compile 'com.lyft:scissors:1.0.3'
in your build.grade and you are good to go.
Eclipse
I have develop one library project using android studio [with gradle]. Now i want to integrate my library project in my main project.
I have successfully integrate this project in android studio using maven. But i don't know how to integrate this library project with my main project using eclise IDE. I have search many times in google as well stackoverflow but not found any solution.
So please give me any hint or solution.
Hi As you may know android studio structure is different from eclipse project. if you want to move studio to eclipse there are lots gradle dependencies files generated by android studio, that eclipse never used this files & even eclipse can not understand these all files.
The simplest way is just create the android project in eclipse and copy all your resources directory files( inside you values directory & drawable if you used ) and source files with the keeping the package structure you have in library project & mark the project as library in your project-> properties under the android tab checked the project as library.
In short you have to manually convert the project in eclipse there is not other options for directly convert the studio project in to eclipse.
Thank you.
You can to link aar library as separate project(type this project as library) and make dependence into main project.
I've an old project developed using Eclipse. Now, I want to use Android Studio to continue to development (for the sake of better IDE), but I don't want to use Gradle.
I was able to build/debug the project when I open the legacy project using Android Studio, but I find no way to update an existing jar in the libs folder.
What I found on the interweb is that I need to use Gradle, but I don't even have a Gradle file right now, so, it is possible to replace a newer version of jar in libs folder without using Gradle?
I'm using NetBeans for android application. I installed properly (I think) ActionBarSherlock package as android library project. Everything works fine, I can build and run application, but code editor doesn't recognize ABS classes (just look at screenshot, BUILD SUCCESSFUL but errors exists) and code completion doesn't work too.
My configuration:
Stable NetBeans 7.2 with android plugin ver. 1.13
Linux Mint 13 Maya 64 bit, Mate
ActionBarSherlock ver 4.2 (stable)
How I installed ABS:
Download and extract source
From sdk/tools run command:
./android update project -p path_to_ActionBarSherlock/library/
Similar command to connect android project library with my test project (there is similar option in Netbeans IDE but I get error that this is not android library project)
./android update project -l path_to_ActionBarSherlock/library/ -p path_to_my_test_project
I have tried clean and build on both projects but no results. Any idea?
Regards
The way I finally managed to add ActionBarSherlock to my android project on Netbeans was to:
Download the latest version of ActionBarSherlock and unzip it
Go to the subfolder called library and remove the pom.xml file from there (with one of the previous versions it didn't work. I had to first build it, close it and remove not only pom.xml but also some netbeans properties files)
Open that subproject (library) in the Netbeans
Now this project will no longer be seen as a maven project. Netbeans will see it as an Android project. Then I:
Clean&build it
Add it to my-project's library properties (right-click on my-project, properties, library, add, point the proper location of library project). Important here was to copy/move that library project somewhere near my-project. Otherwise it claimed that it cannot open it.
And from now on it works fine.
Key to that thinking was that Netbeans didn't want to add the provided library project cause it saw it as a Maven project. When the pom is deleted, Netbeans no longer sees it as Maven project nut as an Android project and it can without any objections add it as an Android's project library.
Probably there are better solutions, but I didn't find any and that was the only one working for me.
Hope it helps.
You can also make a new Android project, and then copy and paste the needed files in the new project.
So only copy:
libs, res, src, AndroidManifest.xml
