Okay I have a project that is using the android-rss library (org.mcsoxford.rss). I created a separate library project for the android-rss. When I try to run my project I get an error saying that the launch was canceled. “Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY”. I went through the tutorial on Android on how to reference the library eclipse project. I have everything setup right. I also put in the xml file a uses-library. Not sure what the problem is. Here is my the uses in the Android-Manifest.xml 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 ... 
 <uses-library android:required="true" android:name="org.mcsoxford.rss"></uses-library>
...
</manifest>

And I have it referenced in the ANdroid Library. I can build the project and see the reference to the library in the project. No errors nothing. The reference lib is exported too.

Here are my console output errors:

[2011-04-18 11:46:43 – BOTM] Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY [2011-04-18 11:46:43 – BOTM] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2011-04-18 11:46:44 – BOTM] Launch canceled!

    I haven’t check that yet, but maybe it will help.
    Please download android-rss from: https://github.com/ahorn/android-rss and look into README file.

    That part may be useful:
    “To reference this library project from within your Android application,
    navigate to the /tools/ directory and use the following command:

    android update project \
    –target \
    –path path/to/your/project \
    –library path/to/android-rss

    This command appends to the “default.properties” file in your Android
    project a new “android.library.reference” property. The value of this
    new property should be the relative path to the directory which you
    created when you fetched the Android RSS library source code with Git.

    The library is compiled by the Android build framework when you build
    your mobile app which was specified in the –path argument above.”
