google-api-java-client library not working in android

Question

I am trying to use Google's places API. I downloaded google-api-java-client-1.6.0-beta.zip library and I'm using source code from https://github.com/tuthan/Google-Place-Api-Demo

I import the external library in exactly the correct way, but the code still give me compile time errors on all imports of google-api-java-client-1.6.0-beta.zip.

e.g.

import com.google.api.client.googleapis.GoogleHeaders;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestFactory;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestInitializer;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponseException;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.apache.ApacheHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.json.JsonHttpParser;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson.JacksonFactory;

I've been working on this for a week, but have been unable to solve it.

The dependency jars are not in your classpath. Please add the jar from google-api-java-client-1.6.0-beta.zip to your sample project.
