android.support.v8 cannot be resolved

I am trying to use renderscript in my Android project. I installed sdk tools 22.6.2 and sdk build tool 19.0.3 and then updated my adt to the latest version. But now I get error that "The import android.support.v8 cannot be resolved" on the line where I wrote import android.support.v8.renderscript.*. I have also made the following changes in projects.properties

renderscript.target=18
renderscript.support.mode=true 

sdk.buildtools=19.0.3

manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.amazing.imazing"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.amazing.imazing.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

I am new to Android programming.

Which IDE are you using? Pay attention to the fact that Android Studio/Gradle-based builds are not yet supported by the RenderScript support library.

In addition, IntelliJ IDEA ignores the project.properties file, even if you are using the default build system ("make").

I removed all the entries from the project.properties except the one 'target=android-18' and copied the renderscript-v8.jar to the libs folder of my project. I found this jar file in sdk/build-tools/18.1.0/renderscript/lib. I stopped getting that error.

I repeated this process in another project and it works.

Try this

renderscript.target=18
renderscript.support.mode=true
sdk.buildtools=18.1.0
