Eclipse and Android application development - android

I am trying to use Roboguice in my app, but no matter how i try to add the jars they don't seem to be added to the apk doesn't include the roboguice/guice jars. What do I do? using eclipse 3.5 and adt .9.9

where did you put the jars?
I usually put 3rd party jars in the lib folder at the root of your Project folder (same level as src, assets etc) and they seem to get picked up when building the apk. Make sure in Eclipse you are referring to the jar from the lib folder as well!

PreferenceFragmentCompat not found on Eclipse [duplicate]

I'm currently using Eclipse ADT 23.0.7 for android app development. My SDK manager is updated for Android 6.0 shown in below..I want to use v7 Preference Support Library in my project. but, unfortunately I can't found it in my (sdk)/extras/android/support/v7 directory as stated in Android Developer Website. I can't figure out what to do. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!UPDATE 1I've also tried to re-download the library but, nothing happen. Preference library is still missing.
Google stopped to provide Eclipse projects. It pushes developers to migrate from Eclipse to Android Studio. So all libraries are available as *.aar files
But it is still possible to these files in Eclipse.
Find the aar for your library at \android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\preference-v7\23.0.1\
Then use instructions from CommonsWare guy Consuming AARs from Eclipse:
UnZIP the AAR into some directory.
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).

transform library project in jar (android)

I need to import into my Eclipse project an external library that is given under the project "Library." this: https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh
how do I turn the "Library" folder in a file. jar that I can put in my libs folder?
how do I turn the "Library" folder in a file. jar that I can put in my libs folder?
First, that is an Android library project. It depends upon Android resources. It cannot be a JAR.
Second, that is an Android library project set up for use with Gradle and Android Studio. It is not set up for Eclipse users, and the author of the library did not provide Eclipse instructions.
Third, as it says IN REALLY BIG BOLD LETTERS, the project is discontinued.
You will be better served using SwipeRefreshLayout (from the Android Support libraries), or possibly the PullToRefresh-ListView open source project.
You are welcome to reorganize the code from that Gradle project (the "Library" folder you referred to) into an Eclipse project, moving the Java source under src/ and the resources under res/ and try to get it working. However, you will have to use it as an Android library project, not a JAR.

Adding prebuilt library to android apk

I have built a dynamic library in android using android build system. This library provides jni interface for functions inside it. Now I want to include this library in an application (.apk). I am using eclipse for application development. Now, how can I use the prebuild dynamice library (.so) in my application ? I tried putting it in a lib folder in my application but it is not working.
Any pointers are appreciated.
I am not using ndk to build my .so.
Since you write 'so' I think you're using NDK. If you're using NDK I don't know the answer.
If you're using the "Java" SDK, then in your library project go to Properties -> Android, and Check "Is Library". In your "apk" project, go to Properties -> Android -> Add . And your Library project should be available.
Also, any Library added in the "Java Build Path" Menu (again, in project properties) should be available in the APK in the end.
I know it's slightly old, but have you checked in the built APK to see if your .so library is there? Should be in the libs/armeabi folder.
Also, your .so file should be in lib/armeabi folder in your eclipse solution. I'm guessing the armeabi bit depends on which processor your .so file is build for.
Also, I know that if your library isn't called lib[name].so, it won't get copied when the apk is installed on the device. So:
libfoo.so copies
foo.so doesn't copy
foo.so doesn't copy
Also, you can use DDMS (its a view in eclipse) and it's file explorer to see if it's been copied to your device. It should be under data/data/[packagename]/lib.
Hope this helps a bit!
Andy.
I hit this same problem while building Qiqqa for Android. Under your eclipse android project, make sure you have a libs directory (not that it is plural libS not singular lib). Inside that create the armeabi/etc subdirs with their respectibe .so files.
Then when you build, eclipse will automatically pick up this libs directory and create the corresponding lib in your apk. System.loadLibrary("XXX") will then resolve to libXXX.so on your correct architecture...

How to include third party classes into the Android apk?

I have a couple of third party classes which serve as a library I can build my application upon. They are contained in a folder which was added Java Build Path -> Libraries (in Eclipse) with "Add Class Folder". It works fine so far an my app compiles. But the produced .apk contains only my classes and therefore the application does not run.
How can I tell Eclipse to package the third party classes into the .apk as well?
Eclipse will package all 3rd party classes in your apk that are in your Android project's classpath. It does this by default, as long as you are using the Android SDK plugin for Eclipse.
This is a duplicate of this question (and many others): How can I use external JARs in an Android project?
Don't need to add anything to Build Path. Just create a sub-folder called "libs" in the project. Put all jar files in libs.
