Where can I find android-v7 support library jar

android

Solution

In Eclipse right click on on your Project -> Android Tools -> Add Support Library... and follow the instructions. As the result, required jar-file gets copied into your project's libs folder. Or you can add libraries manually how it is described in Android documentation.

Update 1: Android Tools team has made some changes to the way support library is integrated.

Android updates do this a bit different. There is still Android Tools -> Support Library option, but now it behaves a bit different. Once activated, Eclipse will silently create a new project called `appcompat_v7` or similar. The name might change in the next versions of ADT. You must be able to find this project in your workspace. This project contains `android-support-*.jar` file. This is a new library project. In turn, your project receives a dependency on that library project.

You can stay with the updated configuration "as is" and start using compatibility API. Or alternatively, you can copy `android-support-*.jar` files into your project's `lib` folder and remove dependency on `appcompat_v7` library project. Both options will work just fine.

Update 2: They change this behavior quite often. Try Project -> Android Tools -> Add Support Library... first. If it doesn't work, please check out official documentation for more recent information.

Update 3: It is really worth to migrate to Android Studio to avoid multiple issues with ATD nowadays.
