Answer 1

If you're using eclipse:

1. Download jar packages for libraries you are interested in
2. Go to project properties in eclipse -> Java Build Path -> Libraries. Add External JARs here.

Answer 2

Just for completeness' sake - if you aren't using eclipse to develop and you are building with ant - just put the jar in your libs folder of your project.
Done!

Also, be warned that not all of them can be automatically converted to Dalvik. For example commons-httpclient does not convert cleanly from the release binaries, you need to go through source to make it work.
