I'm using ActionBarSherlock in an Android project that I developed using Eclipse. I'd like to migrate that project over to IntelliJ IDEA, but I'm not sure how to add a "Library Project" to IDEA.
Is this a feature IDEA supports? If so, can someone help me figure out how to add one?
Thanks!
UPDATED: What I'm referring to is what they describe here -- Managing Projects from Eclipse with ADT. They allow you to add a reference to an uncompiled project as a "library."
From the main menu, select File | Project Structure | Project Settings | Modules. Select the module for which you want to add a library and click Dependencies. button and select Library. In the dialog that opens, select a project or a global library that you want to add to the module.
Right-click the Java project to which you want to add a library, and select Properties from the menu. Select Java Build Path, and click the Libraries tab. Click the Add Library button, and choose the appropriate Java EE Library. Click Next to view the library contents, and click Finish.
Otherwise, from the main menu, select File | New | Project from Existing Sources. In the dialog that opens, select the directory in which your sources, libraries, and other assets are located and click Open. Gradle or Android Gradle: select the necessary build tool and click Finish.
You need to create a new IDEA module from the existing source code. Ensure that Android facet is enabled for this module, in the facet settings you need to enable "Is Library Project" option. Then add this module as a dependency to your main module.
For new visitors:
Create a module from existing sources (point to the library directory inside ABS), then add android-support-v4.jar as a dependency to your project and ABS modules.
There's also a detailed tutorial.
