So I have been having trouble with the Android Support Library with respect to a Jar mismatch or the like where for some reason I was having trouble extending the ActionBarActivity
as it was giving the error that appcompat_v7.apk could not be found.
Hence I deleted the original library I had in my Eclipse projects and reinstalled the Support Library, attaching it to my project of interest with these instructions. Note that following these instructions, the new project folder is now "android-support-v7-appcompat" rather than the original "appcompat_v7".
Following this, I have tried several times to clean my project, quit and reenter Eclipse, but I still come up with two problems stating: "The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved" and "'ProjectName' is missing required Java project: 'appcompat_v7'".
However, when going to Project --> Properties --> Java Build Path, under "Order and Export" a folder named "appcompat_v7" is shown as missing, though the other jars of interest are present, as can be seen in this screenshot:
What can I do to delete or edit this build path entry? To be clear, at this point my project will not even compile, although prior to my deleting the original appcompat_v7 folder it was able to compile but not load any Activity
that extended the ActionBarActivity
. I would love to be able to compile my code again -_-
The folder icon next to "appcompat_v7" indicates that it is a project. You should remove it from the "Projects" tab.
