How to include jar files in an eclipse project

Question

I am new to android and java. I downloaded the GSON library for use in my Android project, which exists in Eclipse. I am looking for instructions on how to use the jar file in my project, and it says ... Quote ... You can use a third-party JAR in your application by adding it to the Eclipse project as follows:

In the Package Explorer panel, right-click on your project and select Properties. Select Java Build Path, then the tab Libraries. Press the Add External JARs... button and select the JAR file. 

Alternatively, if you want to include third-party JARs with your package, create a new directory for them in your project and select Add Library ... instead.

No need to place external JAR files in the resource folder ... Unquote

I am afraid that I do not know the difference between “using third-party banks in my project” and “including third-party banks with my package”. I want to be able to use GSON methods in my Android application and, of course, be able to deploy to my .apk.

So what do I want to do? Thanks Gary

Answer 2

Click Properties

left select Path string

Then add the jar and do not use external libraries unless it is really required.

You need to copy the jar into your project in order to find it using the "Add banks"
