Android dependancies configuration

Question

I am going through the Android app tutorial here:

http://developer.android.com/training/basics/actionbar/styling.html

As part of what I am doing I added in the appcompat library as part of adding in the themes. Not sure how I got to this point but when I try to run the app I get the error :

"The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library 'D:\eclipse-bundle\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\bin\android-support-v7-appcompat.jar'"

The library DOES exist, just not at this location. It is located at:

D:\eclipse-bundle\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\libs\android-support-v7-appcompat.jar

There does not appear to be any way to edit this property. How do you fix this problem? what is causing it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Make sure you follow this step to add .jar files.

In the new library project, expand the libs/ folder, 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.

I had the same issue so I CMD+Q'd Eclipse and re-opened it.... magically worked. I guess "turning it off an on again" works sometimes :D
