How to add a Library Project to a android project?


I have created a new android project. I want to have a action bar at the top so I downloaded the Action Bar for Android Library because I want to support devices from android 2.1.

The description says

The action bar component is an Library Project. This means that there's no need to copy-paste resources into your own project, simply add the action bar component as a reference to any project.

I am new to android so what does this mean? How can I add the library to my existing project?

Import the library into your eclipse workspace:

At this point it fails because there is nothing to select and the next button is deactivated.

Any ideas?


Solution

    1. File->New->Other
    2. Select Android Project
    3. Select "Create Project from existing source"
    4. Click "Browse..." button and navigate to johannilsson-android-actionbar\actionbar
    5. Finish (Now action bar project in your workspace)
    6. Right-click on your project -> Properties
    7. In Android->Library section click Add
    8. select recently added project -> Ok
    9. that's it!

    Now you can use it
