I have recently updated a project that makes use of the Android Support Library ( android-support-v4.jar )

I updated the support library by “Android Tools > Add Support Library”

After doing this my project fails to build and the following imports that worked fine previously now error.

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.widget.SearchViewCompat;
import android.support.v4.widget.SearchViewCompat.OnQueryTextListenerCompat;

With errors long the lines of “The import android.support.v4.widget cannot be resolved”

What have I done wrong? how do I get it working again?

    Which API are you using? It is best to use the Android SDK Manager in Eclipse(ADT) plugin to download the support libraries.

    The Android Support v4 JAR needs to be in the ‘libs’ folder of your project. Make sure you have the JAR ‘copied’ in the folder. It is best to manually do it yourself to make sure it is there.

    The best way to fix the ‘red’ import errors in Eclipse is 

    Ctrl + Shift + O

    to automatically import the correct imports.

    Please let me know if this helps! I have had problems with Android imports as well.
