I am trying to understand the Tabs + ViewPager concepts in Android where I found this code while googling, http://thepseudocoder.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/android-tabs-viewpager-swipe-able-tabs-ftw/. I was just trying to copy paste and I found that:
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
These 3 packages are unable to find their way i.e they are marked as an Error in my Eclipse and I am not very sure what to do with these packages.
Anybody help me in getting that right and please let me know why these packages are used for?
see here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support-library.html#SettingUp
it basically says:
In your Android project, create a directory named libs at the root of your project (next to src/, res/, etc.)
Locate the JAR file for the library you want to use and copy it into the libs/ directory. For example, the library that supports API level 4 and up is located at /extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar.
Add the JAR to your project build path: In Eclipse, right-click the JAR file in the Package Explorer, select "Build Path > Add to Build Path".
(This step seems not to be necessary when using linux command line tools.)
NOTE: make sure you visit the link above for some important additional information
You need to add the jar file from the sdk path. Found here
(Your android sdk path$>
android-sdk-windows\extras\android\compatibility\v4
and add android-support-v4 to your build path.
This is needed for using fragments.
Add appropriate Android support library to your project by doing the following:- Right click on project >> Android Tools >> Add support library
What API level you given to your Project...cause Fragment is available since Android 3.0..and for lower level api to use it,you will have to use jar file From Here

I have an android gradle project which I compile from the command line. I am using eclipse + eclim to have autocompletion and source code validation. I was an unable to get code completion to work by importing the project as an gradle project into eclipse. I therefore imported /path/to/gradle/project/app/src/main as an android project into eclipse and after some .classpath tweaking I was able to get autocompletion to work.
Now I wanted to import the following android support libraries:
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.v13.app.FragmentCompat;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
but got The import ... cannot be resolved error for all three lines. I then tried Android Tools -> Add Android Support Library which failed miserably. I then tracked down the libraries in question in the Android-SDK and added them manually to the Java Build Path in Eclipse. For some I needed to extract the JAR files from the AAR files as described in this answer. I added the following libraries:
appcompat-v7-26.0.0-alpha1.jar
support-annotations-26.0.0-alpha1.jar
support-v4-26.0.0-alpha1.jar
support-v13-26.0.0-alpha1.jar
This solved the problem for the the first two imports but I still get the error for import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;. I have code completion up to v4 but app is not found.
How can I resolve this issue? Am I still missing some dependency? Is there a better way to get android code completion with eclim?
So i figured it out myself. There was still a dependency missing. In my case I also needed
support-compat-26.0.0-alpha1.jar
I wrote this script to extract all the jar class files that are somewhere hidden in the android-sdk/folder. It recursivly looks at all subdirectories of the specified Android SDK folder until it either finds a JAR file which is not Javadoc or Source and copies it to a destination directory. If an AAR file is found the content is extracted to a folder of the same name as described in the link of the question and the JAR file in that folder copied with an appropriate name to the given destination directory.
I am learning the android tab with swipe functionality using material theme. I have a sample tutorials from here and it is build from Android studio.
I am currently using eclipse for my project.
I am following the tutorial and i can't import the TabLayout from com.android.support:design
Below is the code,
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
Showing the error, The import android.support.design cannot be resolved
I downloaded support:design:23.0.1 from here and imported to eclipse, even then the error appears.
Can any one tell me where to download and import the com.android.support:design:23.0.1 in eclipse.
Thanks
Install Android SDK 23.0.1
Import design library from sdk\extras\android\support\design into eclipse workspace
To mark the design project as Library, open properties -> Select Android ->Check Library
Now import this design Library to your Project from project properties.
This worked for me in Tab material design.
If the design folder is not found in the said location, try to locate it in sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\design instead, especially for the later version.
I have also face same problem then find solution like this.
It work for me hope same for You.
First Step:- find .aar file for design-23.0.1.aar
E:\new sdk\sdk\android-sdk-windows\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\design\23.0.1
Second Step:- copy that file and rename it like design-23.0.1.jar to be extract this.
After unzip it you find classes.jar, res, AndroidManifest etc.
Third Step:- Create Library project in eclipse Named design and copy
classes.jar in libs folder
all res in res/
replace AndroidManifest.xml
and last add lib appcompat-v7 by right click on lib project -> properties-> Android -> add -> appcompat-v7
Most important do not forgot clean project and can be restart eclipse for refreshing eclipse.
And more deep details follow steps Guided by commonsware's blog
Create an empty directory that will be the home for the Android
library project. For the rest of these steps, I will refer to this as
“the output directory”.
Copy the AndroidManifest.xml, res/, and assets/ directories from the
AAR into the output directory.
Create a libs/ directory in the output directory. Copy into libs/ the
classes.jar from the root of the unZIPped AAR, plus anything in libs/
in the AAR (e.g., mediarouter-v7 has its own JAR of proprietary
bits).
Decide what build SDK you want to try to use. You might just choose
the highest SDK version you have installed. Or, you can use the
android:minSdkVersion and the -vNN resource set qualifiers to get
clues as to what a good build SDK might be. If desired, create a
project.properties file with a target=android-NNN line, where NNN is
your chosen build SDK. Or, you can address this in Eclipse later on.
Import the resulting project into Eclipse, and if needed adjust the
build SDK (Project > Properties > Android). Also, you will need to
attach to this library project any library projects it depends upon
(e.g., mediarouter-v7 depends upon appcompat-v7).
Good Luck!
And Special thanks to commonsware !!
A great fix to that problem is that you copy the sdk\extras\android\support\design\libs\android-support-design.jar file to "libs" folder of your project
I tried to add "MPAndroidChart" library in Eclipse but when I try to import this lib:(https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/archive/master.zip) .
Amongst the downloaded files , I found a folder called "MPChartLib". This is the actual library folder, I need to add this folder to my project to be able to use the full functionality of the library.
I tried to import the library folder into my workspace, using File-->Import-->Android-->Existing Android but I have this message " Select at least one project eclipse import" !!!!
The lib uses gradle, because of that you can't "import a eclipse project"
You have 2 options, install a gradle plugin for eclipse, or use the lib as a jar
From the lib README:
Download the latest .jar file from the releases section
Copy the mpandroidchartlibrary-.jar file into the libs folder of your Android application project
Start using the library
I hope the same named file is already there or else you can do one thing check the file name to the New Project Name column and check the same file name in your workspace. I must say you that the same named file is definitely there.
So once you will find this, just rename your file name into your workspace and try again importing this.
I hope this will work for you. Any help will be needed, do let me know.
"Select at least one project eclipse import" this message inform you that you have already added Lib in Work Space check for already added "MPChartLib" Lib followed this step:-
Write click on your project and select Properties.
On left select Android.
In Android->Library section click Add
Select for "MPChartLib" (note: name can be change).
Or If you unable to find lib please make new workspace if possible then import MPAndroidChart on workspace.
I am trying to import the Support v7 library to get ActionBarActivity however it is not working. I am unable to extend ActionBarActivity.
I followed the tutorials of adding the support library in from these links
https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html
http://hmkcode.com/add-actionbar-to-android-2-3-x/
I followed these line by line however i cannot import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; it seems to not exist. All i can import is android.support.v7.app.appcompat.R;
I am using Eclipse
Can someone help me out please. Many Thanks!.
This is the summary of what I have done which is working now
Went to SDK manager. Checked that I have the latest Android Support Library ( I have Rev 20). I did not install Support Repository as this is for android studio
Imported existing code into workspace. Selected sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/. I did NOT check copy to workspace.
right-click each .jar file and select Build Path > Add to Build Path. For example, when creating the the v7 appcompat project, add both the android-support-v4.jar and android-support-v7-appcompat.jar files to the build path.
Right-click the library project folder and select Build Path > Configure Build Path.
In the Order and Export tab, check the .jar files you just added to the build path, so they are available to projects that depend on this library project. For example, the appcompat project requires you to export both the android-support-v4.jar and android-support-v7-appcompat.jar files.
Uncheck Android Dependencies.
what I did differently was Create a new Android project rather than using an existing. By default it seemed to extend ActionBarActivity automatically since I put min SDK to API 8.
What it also did was actually do all the steps above for me! I see new project in my work space appcompat-v7
The only problem I see is on console it said something like unable to write Java cache. I lost the message but I will post it
You can create a new Project(if possible) with the viewpager activity and select actionbar in the settings. This will automatically import it into your NEW project. If you can copy your old files that'd be great.
You basically have to:
Import the android-support-v7-appcompat to your Eclipse as described on these links you read.
Link your own project with 'android-support-v7-appcompat' by going to Project Properties / Android/ Add the 'android-support-v7-appcompat' under the 'Library' section (there's a 'Add' button).
https://github.com/SimonVT/android-numberpicker
I am trying to use this library.
But I can't successfully use the Sample
Import sample
copy lib files (except manifest, build)
But the Sample still has an error at NumberPicker.java
I mean All(ever) R. giving an error, something like R.id.np_decrement, R.attr.numberPickerStyle, R.integer.np_config_longAnimTime...
Try this way
1st Download that project file
2nd Open the archive and you will see one folder with name android-numberpicker-master extract it to your hard driver
3rd In eclipse goto File -> Import and under Android tab select Existing Code into workspace
and import both the projects
NOTE: Both the projects must be in same folder
4th Right click on properties and goto android tab and see if project exists or add it
If the library and project are not in same folder then it will throw error, so both have to be in same folder
and now try to run it and it will work
The resources object (R.java) isn't being generated because of an error. Your targetSdkVersion should be set to at least 15 in your manifest, and you should also have theme.xml from the library's res/values folder copied to the same location in your own project.
First check out the sample application provided by the developer.
Right Click in your package explorer. Select Import. Select "Import existing Android Code into Workspace".
Browse to samples directory and import.
Similarly import Library and make it is marked as Library and other project is referencing it correctly.
Make sure JDK compliance is set to 1.6 and your project is targeted against SDK 15 i.e 4.0.3.
