Question

I’m using Eclipse Indigo and I’m using it for the purpose of developing Android mobile apps. I’m attempting to import the new version of the ActionBarSherlock library to use with a project I’ve already got. I’ve tried to go to File > Import… > Existing Projects but that doesn’t find anything and I’ve also tried doing File > New > Android Project > From existing source but it only imports like half the resources folder and that’s about it. It doesn’t import any other files and it even leaves out the AndroidManifest.xml file which is obviously a key file here.
Any help out there for me or am I stuck? :-/

Drop the jar into your /workspace/<appname>/libs folder. Go back into Eclipse, right-click on your project and choose refresh (verify that a new folder appears in your project). Next, go into Menu->Project->Properties [Java Build Path]. Choose Libraries tab then [Add Jars…] and finally browse to your libs folder. Your new jar should be available.
