Can I manually add a jar file to android private library?

Question

I want to include the guava-07.jar in my project.I tried configuring build paths,copying it to library folder,linking source and used add external jars.

The import com.google.common.eventbus.Subscribe cannot be resolved keeps showing. I have a project with guava.jar in its private library.Can I put that in this project.Or is there another problem.Please help me understand.

first remove all the dependencies from jar file. After that right click --> Build path --> add to build path. Clean the project after it as well. — Ravi Bhatt, Jun 06 '14 at 05:02
no I did not get it solved.Tried a different library instead. — ajarmani, Jun 09 '14 at 05:57
Actually I was using a custom library that used guava.When I was trying to use that in my project guava did not integrate properly.I simply deleted the entire project and imported from backup.This time the private library was already there with guava in it!I tried the same custom library it worked by just building the path. — ajarmani, Jun 09 '14 at 09:22

after referring some questions in stack and in google, i got something like this hope these may help you

as you have done before just remove all your dependencies and add build path and clean project once if it dint work just go through the things

The easiest way to deal with such a library in Eclipse is to create a User library and add the user library to your project (right click project: Build Path -> Add Library -> User Library).

Here is a short guide to generating a User Library:

Open the menu entry Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries Press New..., enter a name (e.g. 'Guava') Press Add JARs... and search for the JAR files you downloaded (Unzip the Guava archive beforehand, inside you'll find the file guava-r07.jar. Select that in this dialog, preferably after moving it to a more desirable location) Now select Source Attachment -> Edit..., and find the path to the file guava-src-r07. If you want to, you can repeat this process for the JavaDoc location, pointing it to the javadoc folder from the guava distribution Press OK.

and some other suggestions are like

use Maven to import the libraries. It makes it simple to upgrade dependencies later and, once you install m2eclipse, Eclipse will pick the Guava libraries up for you. All you need in your Maven pom.xml to "use Guava" is something along the lines of the following in your dependencies section.

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
   <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
   <version>15.0</version>
 </dependency>

just go through the references also for more details

If you are using eclipse, just copy guava-07.jar into libs folder(create one if you don't have it).

Select the files in windows explorer and drag them to the libs folder in eclipse. This will also add them to the Android Private Libraries.
