How to import an external library in Android?

Question

I am attempting to integrate a library into my Android app. It's the SlideMenu library.

My problem is I can't find simple enough instructions to help a beginner through this.

There is a great looking tutorial but there is no detail on how to actually install the library i:e what is the step-by-step process. I'm really lost on how to proceed.

Answer 1

Do you have downloaded the library?

• If not, download it and extract the actual library project folder. (it just looks like any other Android project folder you might have seen)
• Import it into your Eclipse workspace. (it will then just look like any other project in your workspace explorer)
• Then right-click on your project and go to properties.
• Select "Android" and press the "Add" Button on the bottom of the window.
• Select your desired library.
• Thats it.
