How can I install a previous Android Support library (version 8)

Question

I have just installed the latest ADT Tools for Eclipse, so I'm right now at v20.0.

This release introduced a new Project wizard, and in one of the last steps it says that it requires the Android Support Library Version 8.
Ok, but in my SDK Manager it tells me I have Android Support Library version 9 installed.

How can I get this working, is there a way to install the older Android Support Library version 8?

Answer 1

OK, just as I posted my question , I did found a workaround.

It seems like the ADT is looking for the Support Libraries in the wrong folder...
The folder the libraries are in is:
(1) \extras\android\compatibility but ADT looks for them in:
(2) \extras\android\support
So you have to create the folder (2) and copy all files that are in folder (1) to it.

Answer 2

Above answer is basically correct. But simply copying did not work for me. What worked for me is to:

1. Open SDK Manager

2. Check "Android Support Library"

3. Click "Delete 1 Package"

4. Then check "Android SDK Library" again and

5. Click "Install 1 Package"

This removed the Support Library from extras\android\compatibility and installed it again under extras\android\support
