having issue with eclipse library

Question

I am new to Droid development using Eclipse. I am trying to use PinnedSectionListView found here: https://github.com/beworker/pinned-section-listview

What I need to understand is how do I import that into my project? Do I need to load the project and create a .jar? I thought to use libraries like the one here it needed to be a .jar lib. I am a bit confused on how to use github libs like that. Also, not a big deal, I am fluent in c/c++/c#/objective c, but I am new to java. Code I can handle, eclipse ide, jar files, etc. not so much.

Any steps would be helpful, or a pointer to an example. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

1. Download and unpack the zip file

2. In Eclipse's Package Explorer, right click and select "Import..."

3. In the Import dialog, select "Existing Android Code into Workspace"

4. Select the dir of the unpacked file, and click "Finish", the library is now part of your workspace, which leaves the last thing to do:

5. Right click on your primary project and select "Properties", in the Properties dialog, select "Android" in the left panel, then click on "Add" button on the right side of the panel, select the library, click "Ok". Now you are ready to use its classes and resources.

Answer 2

You have to download the library folder! Then import it in your Eclipse from the File menu! After you have done this, you have to right click your project and reference the imported library as a library project in your original project!

This is a link for another library but the steps are the same.
