<p>To add one of the libraries to your Android project:</p>

<dt>
Add the JAR file to your project.
</dt>
<dd>
Copy the JAR file for the library you want to use into your Android project. To do this:
<ul>
<li>
Create the directory {@code libs/} at the root of your project
(next to {@code src/}, {@code res/}, and so forth).
</li>
<li>
Locate the JAR file for the library you want to use and copy it into the
{@code libs/} directory.
<p>
For example, the library that supports API level 4 and up is located at
{@code &lt;sdk&gt;/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar}.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Your build system may expect to find the JAR file in a directory other than
{@code libs}. Read the documentation for your build system to learn where to put the
JAR file.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
If necessary, add the {@code libs/} directory to your build path.

Read the documentation for your build system to learn how to add the JAR file to the

<p>
To confirm that you've added the JAR file to the correct directory and added it to the build
path:
</p>
<ol>
<li>In your Android project, create a directory named {@code libs} at the root of your
project (next to {@code src/}, {@code res/}, etc.)</li>
<li>Locate the JAR file for the library you want to use and copy it into the {@code
libs/} directory.
<p>For example, the library that supports API level 4 and up is located at {@code
&lt;sdk&gt;/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar}.</p>
</li>
<li>Add the JAR to your project build path.
<p>In Eclipse, right-click the JAR file in the Package Explorer, select <strong>Build
Path</strong> &gt; <strong>Add to Build Path</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
Edit one of your source files to add an {@code import} statement that imports a
class from the {@code android.support.*} package.
</li>
<li>
Build your app. The code should compile cleanly.
</li>
<li>
As a double-check, run your app. It should run correctly, without any runtime exceptions
indicating that the class in {@code android.support.*} can't be found.
</li>
</ol>
<p>Your application is now ready to use the library APIs. All the
provided APIs are available in the {@code android.support} package (for
example, {@code android.support.v4}).</p>
