I have a working app and now wish to include an advertising system by mopub. Looking at their getting started guide it says I should fist extract a “library project” (I’m not even sure what that is) using git. After having done that I now see that I have a directory called mopub-android-sdk inside this directory are a tree of further files and subdirectories.

The guide then states “Make sure the Android SDK files are in the same parent folder as your project”… this is where I’m confused. I have all my source files, androidmanifest etc in a directory c:\android\mygame am I now supposed to put mopub-android-sdk and all its sub-tree inside c:\android? or inside c:\android\mygame? (or somewhere else?)

EDIT: Some answers/comments have discussed the idea of converting the library project into a .jar file and then putting that in my libs directory… I have no objection to this so long as someone tells me there are no disadvantages to this compared to not making a jar – thinking about it more, wouldn’t the jar have to include every single function, whereas if I left it as a library project, the compiler may be able to omit unused code?

EDIT: Now I am getting more sceptical about the make-jar-then-put-in-libs approach. I found mopub-android-sdk.jar in the bin\res directory and copied it to my projects libs directory. The ad system seemed to work fine, except in the location on screen where I expect to see a specific icon (to dismiss the full screen ad) there is a junk image. I noticed that amongst the tree of files beneath mopub-android-sdk there is a res directory containing png files. I suspect that these images are not in the jar file.

    If you’re simply including a *.jar library, put it in the libs/ folder of your project.

    If you’re trying to include an entire project…

    Right click the project you want it to be included into and go to properties. On the left side where there are tabs, select “Android”. In the area that says “Library” press the “Add…” button and then select the project you want to include. Do a clean build of your project.
